Petzl ASTRO® European Version Rope Access Harness
The Petzl ASTRO® European Version is an ultra-comfortable professional rope access harness designed for rope access technicians, industrial climbers and work-at-height professionals who require maximum comfort, efficiency and equipment organisation throughout the working day.
Purpose-built for rope progression and rope ascent, the ASTRO combines excellent freedom of movement with a supportive design for prolonged periods of suspension. 3D foam padding is used throughout the shoulder straps, waistbelt and leg loops, while the semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loop construction provides excellent support and maintains a comfortable fit while working on ropes.
The innovative gated ventral attachment point allows compatible rope access equipment to be connected directly to the harness, creating a compact and efficient system for progression. The integrated Petzl CROLL® L rope clamp connects directly to the ventral point, improving efficiency and freedom of movement during rope ascent.
The gated ventral point can also accommodate a compatible Petzl PODIUM or LITEPOD work seat, helping provide additional comfort during prolonged suspension.
Designed for technicians carrying a full range of equipment, the ASTRO features seven pre-shaped equipment loops, two CARITOOL tool holder slots, INTERFAST compatibility and two loops for TOOLBAG tool pouches. Two foldable metal side attachment points provide convenient connection for a positioning lanyard while folding away when not required to help minimise snagging.
The harness is designed for fast and convenient fitting. DOUBLEBACK PLUS self-locking buckles provide secure and precise adjustment, while FAST opening buckles on the shoulder strap and leg loops make the ASTRO easy to put on and remove, even while wearing gloves.
