PETZL Avao® European Version — Comfortable, Versatile Full-Body Harness

Engineered for professionals who demand comfort, safety, and adaptability, the PETZL Avao® European Version harness is the ideal choice for work-at-height, advanced rope access, rescue, and industrial applications.

Experience superior comfort thanks to the contoured foam padding on the semi-rigid, wide waistbelt and leg loops. The harness is lined with breathable material throughout all contact zones—shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops—reducing chafing and fatigue during long work sessions. Widely spaced shoulder straps minimize neck irritation and distribute weight evenly across your shoulders, while thin, sliding straps provide greater freedom of movement.

The innovative design includes metal side attachment points that can be folded down when not in use to prevent snagging. Easy-to-adjust self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles ensure a secure, personalized fit for the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops, with anti-slip devices to keep adjustments stable even during intense activity.

Stay organized with five pre-shaped equipment loops featuring protective sheaths, as well as two slots for PETZL CARITOOL tool holders or the INTERFAST connection system. The ventral D ring provides a sturdy connection point for a descender, positioning lanyard, or work seat, while the textile loop accommodates lanyards with a RING OPEN attachment ring. Two lateral metal D rings enable dual-mode positioning lanyard connections.

Designed for safety and confidence, the Avao® European Version features fall-arrest system attachments at the dorsal and sternal points, as well as a rear attachment point on the waistbelt for restraint lanyards. Certified to the highest European safety standards (CE EN 361, EN 813, EN 358), it is constructed from durable nylon, polyester, aluminum, and steel components.

Available in three sizes, this harness is built for comfort and support, making it perfect for professionals who need reliable safety equipment that adapts to every challenge.
