Petzl "AVAO BOD" Fall Arrest, Work Positioning & Suspension Harness, Size 0, 1 & 2

The AVAO BOD fall arrest, work positioning and suspension harness is designed for greater comfort in a variety of situations. Wide, semi-rigid waist-belt and leg loops give excellent support. Its lightweight, breathable construction maximizes air flow.

The shoulder straps have a system for stowing the fall arrest lanyard connectors and keeping them within reach. The DOUBLEBACK self-locking buckles at the rear of the harness, between the waist-belt and the leg loops, allow for a shorter adjustment when the dorsal attachment point is used.

The harness also facilitates the carrying and organizing of work tools, with multiple equipment loops and retainers for attaching CARITOOL tool holders and TOOLBAG tool-holder pouches.

• Comfortable throughout the workday:
  • Wide, semi-rigid waist-belt and leg loops for excellent support. Its lightweight, breathable construction maximizes air flow.
  • Foam shoulder straps are widely spaced to reduce neck chafing. When the waist-belt is loaded, they help distribute the load over the shoulders.
• Convenient adjustment:
  • Waist-belt, shoulder straps and leg loops equipped with self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles for quick and easy adjustment.
  • Stowage system for the MGO connectors on fall arrest lanyards, on each shoulder strap, allows the user to be unhindered by the lanyard and keep the connectors within reach In case of a fall, the system releases the MGO connectors and allows the absorber to be deployed.
  • Side attachment points can be folded down to prevent them snagging accidentally when not in use.
  • DOUBLEBACK self-locking buckles at the rear of the harness, between the waist-belt and the leg loops, allow adjustment for use on the dorsal attachment point. In case of a fall on this point, a shorter adjustment allows the weight to be taken up on the leg loops so the user can remain more comfortably suspended while awaiting rescue..
• Facilitates the carrying and organization of tools:
  • 6 pre-shaped equipment loops with protective sheath.
  • 2 slots for CARITOOL tool holder.
  • 4 slots for TOOLBAG tool pouch.
• The international version has a fall indicator: a red strap appears on the dorsal attachment point after a fall to indicate that the harness should be retired.
