Petzl Avao International Version comfortable and versatile harness for working at height

The Avao International Version harness by Petzl is specifically designed for workers at height, with particular attention to positioning during work and descent on rope. It features shaped foam padding on the semi-rigid belt and thigh straps to ensure superior comfort during use. The belt has metal side attachment points, tool rings, and slots for tool holders, allowing the user to organize all the essential equipment needed for a full day of work. Adjustment is quick and easy thanks to the Doubleback self-locking buckles. The widely spaced shoulder straps reduce friction on the neck, and the sliding straps offer greater freedom and ease of movement. All contact areas, including shoulder straps, belt, and thigh straps, are equipped with shaped foam and breathable lining for improved comfort during work and movement. The semi-rigid belt and thigh straps ensure optimal fit and support, while the foldable metal side attachment points help prevent accidental snagging when not in use. The replaceable elastic bands on the thigh straps maintain the correct adjustment whether walking or suspended. The harness is easy to adjust thanks to the Doubleback self-locking buckles on the shoulder straps, belt, and thigh straps, while the anti-slip devices keep the adjustments secure throughout the workday. For equipment management, the shoulder straps have a parking system for the connectors of the fall arrest lanyard, keeping them accessible and out of the way. The metal ventral ring offers attachment points for installing a Podium or Litepod work seat, while the textile ring allows the use of a lanyard with a Ring Open attachment. Two metal side attachment points support a positioning lanyard in double mode. There are five pre-shaped tool rings with protective sleeves and two slots for Caritool tool holders or the Interfast connection system. A red indicator appears on the dorsal attachment point after a fall, signaling the need to retire the harness. Specifications: ventral attachment point for a descender, a single mode positioning lanyard, or a work seat on the ventral D ring; also compatible with a lanyard equipped with Ring Open on the textile ring. The side attachment points are for a double mode positioning lanyard. The sternum and dorsal points are designed for fall arrest systems, and the rear point on the belt is for a retention lanyard.
