How to Size Your Climber
Proper fit is important to your comfort and safety. Correct climber length is normally measured from the boot sole under the instep to a point 1/2" below the bone projection just below the knee joint. There are long sleeves available and they are generally preferred by people over 6'2". NOTE: Pull your pant cuffs up slightly just below the knee before fastening the leg strap...it provides greater mobility to climb.
How to Order Climbers
The proper fit of a climber requires the leg iron, with pad attached, to extend from the instep to about 1/2" below the bottom of the inside projection of the knee joint. Climber adjustment varies based on style of climber and the sleeve length. Standard length sleeves 9204 are included unless long sleeves are requested by adding the suffix 'L' to the product number.
Standard sleeves permit leg length adjustment form 16 1/4" to 18 3/4" for standard width stirrup climbers using two fasteners, 14 1/2" to 17 1/4" with narrow stirrup style climbers. Long sleeves 9202 may be ordered at a slight extra cost. These permit length adjustment from 19 1/4" to 21 3/4" for standard width stirrup climbers, 17 1/4" to 20 1/4" with narrow stirrup climbers. Add suffix 'L' to the climber catalog number for long sleeves. |
