climber bite?

[Jonny]

I wouldn’t buy the big ones. I’m thinking the small shin cup pads.
The weaver and Buckingham look almost identical, I’ll probably get Weaver because those are the ones WesSpur has.

Yea - I had the Bucks. Best pad ever with a low profile. That's what I hated about the caddies... soooooo bulky!!!

These with the insert are what I'm digging lately. Check some of the lineman suppliers for a bit of a discount

I liked those for a while, then I went to caddies, then the angled Bucks.

Big, bulky caddy pads for big, bulky trees .

The rest of you pissant peeps can do fine with something less .

Four days later, still hurts.

Recently in most cases I use Distel. Light and comfortable. You have a pretty serious wound. I would run to the doctor ...

Hella pressure wound!

I use Climb Right ultra light pads on Buck Ti's. The first time they kinda sucked because they are too flat. I clamped them in the vise and added more curve to them so they hug my shin better, good to go now.

This is what I'm using, and I couldn't be happier. I got them from wesspur, and I want to say they're Buckingham, though the picture says Weaver. I'm not a pro, and have only spent a couple hours at a time in them, but I haven't even had the inkling of an issue starting. Make sure you strap everything down tight; like almost uncomfortably tight. It'll find the spot it wants to sit in, and will feel fine once you start climbing.

It blew my mind how comfortable those lil things are!
