Climbing spikes for skinny legs?

[normandylumberjack]

Can anyone recommend some spikes that feel good on skinny legs? I don't see that they will get a lot of use, so the cheaper end of the market. Velcro vs. leather?

 

Any help, as always, much appreciated.

I have skinny wee chicken legs and I find the leather pads on my ali Bashlins are nice and chunky, second hand off a well known auction site.....

Lol otherwise buckingham spikes with leather straps i would of thought are good and cheap enough. Could you not try a couple of pairs on? Friends etc

Had a few different spikes the most comfy and less stress on knees Kleins got leather pads ATM but they are well nice with the buckingham metal insert c wrap pads, brilliant gaffs lil bit heavy but sooo comfy....

 

But it's like all climbing equip its personal

 

Give a set oh Kleins a try before you hand over any doe..

 

Tree gaffs all the way!

If my friends had gaffs, I would be worried, as they are all teachers, accountants and members of the chess club!

 

Only joking, i have no friends!

 

I will try before I buy, but was wondering about any negative feedback? types to avoid?

try wearing some velco elbow/knee supports under them, I stick them on if they start hurting and it does it for me...
