The Petzl Aquila Harness is a comfortable and adjustable climbing harness designed for performance on single-pitch, multi-pitch, and trad climbing routes. It combines excellent support when hanging with freedom of movement, adjustable leg loops, and substantial gear-carrying capacity. Its wide waistbelt makes it particularly comfortable for climbers who prefer greater support and more evenly distributed pressure during long periods of suspension.

Maximum Support and Comfort

The Petzl Aquila Harness features a wide, comfortable waistbelt designed to provide better pressure distribution while hanging. Smooth-seamed edges on the waistbelt and leg loops help reduce pressure points and improve comfort during both climbing and belaying.

The leg loops use DOUBLEBACK HD buckles, allowing the fit to be adjusted for different body types and seasonal clothing. A flexible leg-loop bridge provides additional comfort and freedom of movement while climbing.

Petzl’s FUSEFRAME Technology uses closed-cell thermoformed foam to provide consistent comfort throughout the harness’s lifespan. The breathable, moisture-wicking interior fabric helps manage perspiration during demanding climbing sessions.

Large Gear-Carrying Capacity

The AQUILA is designed for routes where climbers need to carry a substantial amount of equipment. It features five gear loops, providing plenty of space for quickdraws, nuts, cams, slings, and other climbing hardware.

Two very large, rigid gear loops at the front make it easy to organize and quickly clip or unclip equipment. Two flexible rear gear loops are angled toward the front for easier access and remain comfortable when wearing a backpack.

A large center rear gear loop provides additional space for equipment used at belay stations or other accessories. There is also a rear accessory loop for carrying a chalk bag, climbing shoes, quick link, trail line, or other essential equipment.

The waistbelt is compatible with CARITOOL EVO tool holders, making the AQUILA suitable for organizing ice screws during ice climbing and mountaineering.

Enhanced Durability

The Petzl Aquila Harness is built for repeated use in demanding climbing environments. Its tie-in points are reinforced with high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) to improve resistance to wear caused by rope friction.

The exterior fabric is also designed to resist abrasion, helping the harness withstand the rubbing and contact associated with regular climbing use.
