The Notch Gecko Carbon Fiber 2.0 Climbers (52142T) are for arborists and climbers who spend long days in their spurs and want a lighter climber, with tree and pole gaffs both in the box.
Why it works on the job
-
Less weight on every step. The carbon fiber Gecko weighs about 4.7 lb per pair with pads, which adds up over long removals and spar climbs.
-
Stiff, responsive shank. Thermo-molded carbon fiber with Notch's own fiber layup keeps the climber rigid without the bulk of metal.
-
All-day comfort. Reinforced fiberglass cuffs are shaped to the leg and adjustable, with replaceable high-density EVA pads to spread pressure.
-
A steady upper leg. 4 in wide upper straps hold the climber evenly across the shin, cutting down on hot spots.
-
Grip when limb walking. The offset stirrup is shaped for the foot and arch, and its rubber sole plate adds traction and protects the stirrup and gaff tips.
-
Tree or pole. Both gaff lengths are included, and quick-connect lower straps make adjusting fast.
