PETZL AVAO FAST (International Version)

The AVAO FAST harness is specifically designed for workers at height. Its design meets the specific requirements of work positioning and rope descent. Preformed padding and the semi-rigid structure of the waistbelt and leg loops ensure comfort during use. The waistbelt, equipped with metal side attachment points, gear loops, and tool holders, allows for organizing all necessary equipment for a workday. Adjustment is simple and quick thanks to the DOUBLEBACK self-locking buckles and FAST openable buckles.

Description

Comfortable construction:

- shoulder straps separated from the neck reduce chafing,

- sliding straps allow greater freedom and ease of movement,

- all contact areas—shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops—feature preformed padding covered with breathable fabric, enabling comfortable movement and work,

- the semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loops ensure a perfect fit and secure hold of the harness on the user’s body,

- metal side attachment points fold away to prevent accidental snagging when not in use.

- the back of the leg loops includes elastic straps (replaceable - available as accessories) to maintain proper fit both when walking and suspended.

Comfortable and quick adjustment:

- adjustment is comfortable, simple, and fast thanks to the DOUBLEBACK self-locking buckles on the shoulder straps and waistbelt and the FAST openable buckles on the leg loops,

- anti-slip elements installed on the DOUBLEBACK buckles maintain correct adjustment throughout all work phases.

Design facilitating transport and equipment organization:

- shoulder straps feature a system to organize fall arrest lanyard connectors, allowing the user to avoid obstruction and keep connectors within reach,

- the metal ventral D-ring includes attachment points for installing a PODIUM or LITEPOD seat,

- the ventral attachment point has a dedicated textile loop for installing a lanyard using a RING OPEN connection ring,

- two metal side attachment points for connecting a double positioning lanyard,

- five preformed gear loops with protective sheath,

- two loops for CARITOOL gear holders or INTERFAST connection elements.

In case of a fall on the dorsal attachment point, a red indicator appears to signal that the harness must be retired.
