PETZL AVAO (International Version)

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

Description

Comfortable construction:

- shoulder straps separated from the neck reduce chafing,

- sliding straps allow greater freedom and ease of movement,

- all contact areas, including shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops, have 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,

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

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

Convenient adjustment:

- adjustment is comfortable and simple thanks to the DOUBLEBACK self-locking buckles on the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and 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 include a system to organize fall arrest lanyard connectors, allowing the user to avoid obstruction and keep connectors within reach,

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

- the ventral attachment point includes a dedicated textile loop for installing a lanyard via 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 connecting elements.

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