AVAO® European version - Petzl

Comfortable and versatile harness for work at height

The AVAO harness is specifically designed for workers at height. Its design is specific to work positioning and rope descent. Contoured foam on the semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loops provide comfort during use. The waistbelt features metal side attachment points, equipment loops, and tool holder slots, allowing the user to organize all the necessary equipment for a day of work. Adjustment is quick and easy with self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles.

Comfortable construction:

• Widely spaced shoulder straps reduce neck chafing
• Thin, sliding straps provide more freedom and ease of movement
• All contact zones use contoured foam and are lined with breathable material, including the shoulder straps, waistbelt and leg loops, making it more comfortable to work and move around
• Semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loops provide optimal harness fit and support
• Metal side attachment points can be folded down to prevent them snagging accidentally when not in use
• Elastic leg loop bands (replaceable and available as an accessory) allow the harness to maintain the right adjustment whether the user is walking or suspended

Easy to adjust:

• Self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles make adjusting the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops simple and convenient
• Anti-slip devices installed on the DOUBLEBACK buckles help maintain the right adjustment throughout the workday
