Wesspur, Sherrilltree, and Treestuff all sell newer replacement straps for the new generation aluminum Geckos with the Cobra clip attachment, and they should fit the steel Geckos as well. They're a bit pricey, but Treestuff and Sherrilltree also sell standard replacements that are less expensive.
These aren't made in the United States; they're manufactured in Taiwan.
Are the heels on your boots? Also, the lower straps must be kept extra, extra tight, possibly even tightened during the climb. I tighten them until they hurt, and then they adjust nicely during the climb. My friend, keep climbing safely.
Selected User Reviews For Notch Gecko Steel Climbers w/Tree Gaffs (Pair)
I work as a tree climber/trimmer and have been wearing these every day for the past six months, so I believe I can give a fair assessment. When I first got these spurs, I was completely enamored with them. The padding is soft, the gaffs are sharp and narrow enough to bite through any bark, and the steel appears to be strong. The velcro is only secured on one side, and the padding is literally just cheaply glued to the plastic, which means it loses some of its grip after a while. The biggest problem with these is that the velcro is only secured on one side, and the padding is literally just cheaply glued to the plastic, which means it loses some of its grip after a while. As a result, when it becomes worn and full of sawdust, the glue fails, and your pad slides down as you climb, causing pain when your calf rubs against the plastic. To keep the trap in place on both sides once the glue fails, you'll need to secure the velcro strap to the "other side" of the plastic. I drilled two holes in the plastic above and below the strap and threaded a zip tie through them to hold the strap and thus the pads in place. I had hoped that for the price, they would be more durable and wouldn't need to be modified. Now it appears that there is a clear design flaw. Good spurs, but if you're a true climber, you'll want something a little more durable.
These were purchased for use while saddle hunting. It's my first time using gaffs, and I'm in love with them. Lightweight and very comfortable. I swapped out the Velcro and lower leather buckle for quick release straps and buckles. It was important for me to be able to hear myself think. That Velcro makes a lot of noise. If you go hunting, it's only an issue. In my photo, you can see that I also used camo duct tape to reduce contact noise and blend them in a little better. Doe a rookie, you've got some great gaffs!.
It's comforting to know that if the way they attach becomes a problem, you can change it. The Velcro is extremely strong, and he actually likes it (for the time being). Overall, we'd have to say these are a fantastic pair of climbing spurs, well worth the money!.
Make an attempt at Chinese cuisine. They're nice, but I don't like how the Velcro calf strap sits when they're fastened. The rope always snags when you use foot or knee ascenders. This is a straightforward piece of gear. There was nothing cutting-edge or difficult about it. Steel plate with spiked plastic and straps bolted on. But just because your life depends on it doesn't mean you should pay exorbitant prices for it. Purchase Chinese merchandise. Simple and inexpensive.
This is fantastic! I spent a couple of hours in them chopping down a few trees; they were extremely comfortable and supportive, and they felt like an extension of my body.
These are well made, but the strap came undone while I was 30 feet up, so I had to relace them. I also went up a pine tree (soft wood) and the spikes were incredibly difficult to sink into the tree. Am I supposed to sharpen these before using them because as of right now, I consider this purchase to be a FAIL and am so disappointed $250. $600, but I already have these, so I'm out $800. $850 is a lot of money in my opinion, so do yourself a favor and get the right set the first time. You get what you pay for, and this is not the type of equipment to save money on.
Excellent customer service! The customer service representatives were willing to work with us when the climbers did not arrive, even though FedEx said they had been delivered. Fortunately, the climbers arrived one week after they stated they would, but their responsiveness impressed me greatly. br>br>The climbers dig into my husband's legs a little, but he has thin legs with little padding where they dig in. They do what they're supposed to do, and he's satisfied with the rest of his purchase.
