The Petzl Astro Harness is a comfortable and highly adjustable harness designed for work-at-height applications where freedom of movement, equipment organization, and secure attachment options are important. Its ergonomic construction combines contoured foam, breathable materials, semi-rigid support, and sliding straps to provide comfort while working or moving around.

The harness features widely spaced shoulder straps to help reduce neck chafing, while thin sliding straps allow greater freedom of movement. Its waistbelt and leg loops use semi-rigid construction for a supportive and well-fitted feel. Multiple attachment points and equipment loops make it easy to organize essential work-at-height equipment.

Comfortable for Work and Movement

The Petzl Astro Harness is designed to provide comfort during extended periods of work and movement. Its shoulder straps are widely spaced to reduce neck chafing, while the thin sliding straps allow the user to move more freely.

All major contact zones—including the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops—feature contoured foam lined with breathable material. The semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loops provide support while helping the harness maintain an optimal fit.

Easy Adjustment with DOUBLEBACK Buckles

The harness uses self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles on the shoulder straps, waistbelt, and leg loops. These buckles make it straightforward to adjust the harness for a secure and comfortable fit.

Anti-slip devices on the DOUBLEBACK buckles help maintain the selected adjustment during the workday, reducing the need for frequent readjustment.

Foldable Side Attachment Points

The two metal side attachment points are designed to fold down when not in use. This helps reduce the chance of the attachment points accidentally catching or snagging on surrounding equipment or structures.

Replaceable elastic bands on the leg loops help keep the harness properly adjusted as the user transitions between walking and suspended positions.

Multiple Attachment Options

The Petzl Astro provides a range of attachment points for different work-at-height functions:

• Ventral attachment point: For a descender, a positioning lanyard in single mode, or a work seat attached to the ventral D ring. A textile connection point also allows attachment of a lanyard with a RING OPEN attachment ring.
• Lateral attachment points: For connecting a positioning lanyard in double mode.
• Sternal attachment point: For connecting a fall-arrest system.
• Dorsal attachment point: For connecting a fall-arrest system.
• Rear waistbelt attachment point: For connecting a restraint lanyard.

Practical Equipment Organization

The harness provides dedicated options for carrying and organizing work equipment. It features five pre-shaped equipment loops with protective sheaths, along with two slots designed for CARITOOL tool holders or the INTERFAST connection system.

The metal ventral D ring also incorporates connection points for installing a PODIUM or LITEPOD work seat, helping create a practical setup for applications where a work seat is required.
