Frame Construction - patented Frame Construction Technology

High strength bias tape along the edges of the waist belt and leg loops provides support: when weighted, the pressure is distributed over the entire area between the tape. The foam spreaders help maintain the shape of the waist belt. This makes for a harness that is extremely comfortable and well ventilated.

Frame Construction technology advantages

Pressure is distrubuted over the entire surface = more comfort.
Maximum ventilation = more comfort.

Security, comfort and functionality of Petzl harnesses

A harness is a tool for safety and performance. These objectives guide design. Security, comfort and functionality.
