Distel x Arb Fiction Alu Plus Classic Foot Ascender Medium Spike

Product detailed description

Thanks to DMM's precise hot forging process, the shaft perfectly adapts to the ergonomics of your lower leg and ensures optimal weight distribution. The 45 mm wide, forward-inclined stirrup support provides a stable platform and makes climbing significantly easier. The ergonomically shaped Plus shaft distributes pressure evenly, making longer work more comfortable. The Vibram rubber sole ensures a secure footing on branches while protecting the sole surface.

This limited edition, developed in collaboration with Arb Fiction, stands out with its striking two-tone design: gold on one side, turquoise on the other. This model, manufactured by DMM in Wales, combines creative individuality with the proven quality of Distel. With only 300 pieces worldwide, it is the ideal choice for climbers who want to stand out while working in trees.

The Distel Alu Plus is equipped with an improved padding system that provides comprehensive support for shins and calves. Compared to standard padding, the contact area is increased by 50%, allowing for more even pressure distribution and perfectly adapting to your leg thanks to the mesh structure. This allows for comfortable work even during long working hours.

The new ratchet straps ensure a perfect fit in seconds. The precisely manufactured components from Switzerland allow for seamless one-handed adjustment directly on the tree – quickly, safely and efficiently.

The heel straps are made of BioThane material and manufactured by Weaver in the USA. These straps are very durable, waterproof, and resistant to resin and sawdust. The 105 mm wide Velcro® top strap ensures optimal pressure distribution. The Distel climber pads are height-adjustable, allowing you to precisely adjust the spurs to the length of your legs. The PTFE-coated spurs make it easier to release from the wood, requiring less physical effort and allowing for more comfortable climbing.

The combination of lightweight aluminium construction and sophisticated design ensures excellent stability and outstanding wearing comfort. This makes the Distel Alu Plus the ideal choice for arborists who place a high value on ergonomics and efficiency.

Distel climbing irons have long been recognised for their top quality and durability and are considered the benchmark in tree climbing equipment.

The medium hook – the perfect compromise between short and long. The significantly blunter shape and wider base reduce sinking during prolonged standing and make it easier to release the hooks from the wood without compromising penetration.
Hook height: 42 mm | Hook length: 44 mm | Maximum load capacity: 150 kg
