PETZL AVAO HARNESS

The PETZL AVAO Harness C071AB is specifically designed for professionals performing rope access, maintenance, inspection, and industrial work at height. Its ergonomic design focuses on comfort during suspension and efficient work positioning while maintaining high safety standards required for professional vertical environments.

The harness features a semi-rigid waistbelt and padded leg loops with contoured foam, helping distribute load evenly and reduce pressure points during prolonged work. Widely spaced shoulder straps minimize neck chafing, while sliding straps provide improved freedom of movement for technicians working in complex vertical environments.

Multiple attachment points allow the harness to integrate with fall-arrest systems, positioning lanyards, descenders, and work seats. The ventral D-ring allows connection of descenders or positioning lanyards, while lateral attachment points are used for positioning lanyards in double mode. The harness also includes sternal and dorsal attachment points for fall arrest systems and a rear waistbelt point for restraint systems.

Adjustment is simple and secure thanks to self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles on the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops, ensuring a stable fit throughout the workday. Five pre-shaped equipment loops and tool holder slots allow workers to carry essential tools safely while working at height.
