Harnesses for fall arrest, work positioning and suspension

These harnesses are used for fall protection, for positioning at the work station, and especially for working comfortably in suspension.

Comfort

Foam-padded shoulder straps

Foam-padded shoulder straps

The foam-padded shoulder straps are widely spaced to reduce neck chafing.

Semi-rigid, wide waistbelt and leg loops

Semi-rigid, wide waistbelt and leg loops

The waistbelt and the leg loops of AVAO harnesses are semi-rigid and wide in order to limit pressure points and ensure effective support. These two zones are sculpted and lined with breathable perforated foam for a more comfortable feel and good ventilation. This construction also facilitates harness donning.

Ergonomics

Practical adjustment

Practical adjustment

The AVAO harnesses can be adjusted at the waistbelt and shoulder straps. These adjustment points are equipped with self-locking DoubleBack buckles. These do not require re-threading to be locked: the harness adjusts easily in seconds.

Optimal organization of work tools

Optimal organization of work tools

AVAO harnesses are equipped with six equipment loops: on the sides and at the rear of the waistbelt. They are shaped to facilitate clipping carabiners. Each harness also has retainers designed for the CARITOOL tool holder and the TOOLBAG pouch.

Available with FAST buckles on the leg loops

Available with FAST buckles on the leg loops

To facilitate donning the harness with the feet on the ground or with large footwear, the AVAO harnesses are also available with FAST buckles on the leg loops. Adjusted once and for all, these buckles open and close quickly and easily: the harness can be donned without re-adjusting the buckles.

Choosing your harness

Ultra-comfortable

AVAO BOD

AVAO BOD FAST

The X-shaped dorsal construction of the AVAO BOD and AVAO BOD FAST full-body harnesses is designed to more completely envelop the user. This design optimally distributes pressure in order to ensure great comfort during prolonged suspension. These harnesses have a dorsal attachment point for connecting a fall arrest system. In case of a fall, the weight of the user is automatically transferred to the leg loops to limit pressure points. This way, the user can remain suspended longer while waiting for rescue.

Combining a seat harness with a separate chest harness is a more lightweight solution, if the user does not need a dorsal attachment point. It is also a solution for hard-to-fit body types, as it allows combining different sizes of seat and chest harness.
