Description
The Panther Carbon Fibre Climbing Spikes – Velcro – Long Gaffs are precision-engineered for professional climbers and arborists seeking strength, balance, and comfort at height. Designed with carbon fibre hooks, heat-treated alloy gaffs, and reinforced shells, they offer a high level of durability with a remarkably low weight of only 1500 grams per pair.
Each set includes four key components engineered for performance and longevity. The carbon fibre hook provides the main support structure, combining superior strength with lightweight construction to reduce fatigue during extended use. Long gaffs, cast from alloy steel undergo a meticulous heat-treatment process, reaching a hardness of 1000–1200 MPa for consistent reliability and edge retention.
The gaffs are secured with M8 screws tightened to 25 N/m, complete with an adhesive layer that prevents loosening. Their 30° ground angle ensures a firm and stable bite into bark, while maintaining maximum safety under load. Testing confirms no structural deformation below 650 kg and only minor tip deformation up to 1000 kg, ensuring exceptional resilience in real-world conditions.
The shell, constructed from layered glass fibre and reinforced carbon fabric, offers ergonomic calf support with multiple adjustment holes to match individual leg positioning. The Velcro binding and padded calf strap ensure a secure, custom fit while maintaining comfort during long climbs. Designed for strength, lightness, and precision, Panther Carbon Fibre Climbing Spikes deliver dependable support for demanding tree work and climbing applications.
