Bashlin spikes

[teresa green]

I'm after a set of bashlin spikes, i saw at APF you can get them with velcro instead of straps and with the stein strap/pads, does the velcro not wear out easy? The stein pads look comfortable but everything i have had stein doesn't see the day out

Bashlins are superb!.....with velcro pads...even better!...not sure about stein pads...velcro lasts long enough.

I have had a set of bashlins for 12 years now in that time i have gone through 2 sets of velco pads, worth the cash for the comfort they give.

Can you get the velcro wraps for Buckingham spikes ?

Im about 6 climbs into my steins and am happy apart from lower straps which have worn very easy and fast on the sharp edges of where they wrap around shank,very badly designed angles,have put heaps of lec tape around area to soften edges,leg upper leg straps are good enough.

I have a feeling the velcro wraps are fairly universal and will fit Buckingham spikes as well, as i gave my first set of velco's away to a friend that had some regular leather pads (velco padding had worn thin but were still alot better than the standard leather offering) I do know they were not bashlins but can't remember what they were for sure but have a feeling they were Buckingham Straight Steel Spikes.
