Weaver L-Shaped Climber Pads

Weaver L-shaped climber pads replace worn or uncomfortable pads on tree spurs, wrapping the calf in an L-shape to spread pressure from the shank. A good set of pads is often the cheapest way to make your spurs feel better on long removals.

Why pads matter

When you stand in your spurs, the shank pushes against your calf with every step. Thin or flattened pads let that pressure land in one spot, and after a few hours it hurts. L-shaped pads wrap around the calf so the load is spread across a wider area, which makes a long removal noticeably easier.

They are a straightforward upgrade for older spurs or a replacement when the original pads have packed down. Browse other options in our climber pads section.

Pads are also a wear item. Sap, sweat, and rain break down the padding and covers over time, and a pad that has gone hard or flat no longer protects your leg. If your spurs fit well but hurt, the pads are the first thing to look at before you blame the shanks or straps.

Fitting and care

Check that the pads suit your spur model and strap layout before ordering. Fit them so the shank sits centered on the pad and the upper strap holds everything snug without cutting into the leg.

Clean off sap and mud after use and let the pads dry away from direct heat. Inspect the pads, straps, and buckles each time you inspect the gaffs. Spur work should always be done with a flipline or lanyard, under ANSI Z133, by a trained climber.
