PETZL CHEST’AIR Chest Harness

The PETZL CHEST’AIR Chest Harness is designed to convert compatible sit harnesses into full-body fall-arrest harness systems. It is commonly used by rope access technicians and industrial workers who require enhanced stability and safety when operating at height.

This chest harness integrates seamlessly with compatible sit harnesses including AVAO SIT, AVAO SIT FAST, ASTRO SIT, and FALCON harnesses, creating a complete harness system suitable for fall arrest and vertical rope work. The chest harness provides a sternal attachment point, allowing connection to fall arrest systems such as lanyards or self-retracting lifelines.

The design includes lightweight breathable shoulder straps that improve comfort during extended work periods. Adjustable straps allow precise fitting for different body types, while the ergonomic structure ensures proper positioning of the body during suspension or fall arrest situations.

The CHEST’AIR harness also features dedicated loops for integrating rope clamps such as the CROLL chest ascender, which helps improve rope climbing efficiency in rope access systems. Durable materials and reinforced attachment points ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
