Petzl Astro International Version ultra-comfortable harness for rope access

The Astro International Version harness by Petzl is specifically designed for rope access technicians, offering superior support and functionality for progression and ascent on rope. Its ultra-comfortable construction features 3D foam padding and a semi-rigid waist and thigh belt to ensure all-day comfort. The ventral attachment point with a carabiner allows for efficient integration of equipment, with the integrated Croll L stirrup enhancing ascent efficiency. The waist belt includes metal side attachment points, tool rings, and slots for tool holders for optimal organization. The Doubleback self-locking buckles and FAST buckles facilitate putting on and adjusting the harness, even with gloves. The shoulder straps are wide to reduce neck chafing and include sliding drawstrings for greater freedom of movement. The padding extends over all contact areas with breathable materials for improved comfort. The metal side attachment points can be folded when not in use, and the elastic thigh straps are replaceable to maintain proper fit in all positions. Equipment integration is optimized with direct connections to the ventral point, allowing for direct attachment of a Progress Adjust or Jane lanyard, the Croll L stirrup, or a Podium or Litepod seat to enhance efficiency and mobility. The adjustment of the shoulder straps is simplified by a FAST buckle on the left and a self-locking Doubleback buckle on the right, while the thigh straps are equipped with FAST buckles for quick and easy use with gloves. Equipment organization is supported by a Velcro strap for positioning the ASAP'Sorber, parking points for lanyard connectors, two foldable metal side attachment points, seven pre-shaped tool rings with protective covers, two Caritool tool holder slots, the Interfast system, and two rings for Toolbag pouches. A fall on the dorsal point activates a red indicator that signals the need to retire the harness. The ventral attachment point is suitable for a descender, progression lanyard, or positioning in single mode or for a work seat. The side points are for dual-mode positioning lanyards; the sternum and dorsal points support fall arrest systems, while the rear point on the waist belt is for restraint lanyards.
