Product information & specifications
Petzl TOP Chest Harness
The Petzl TOP chest harness transforms AVAO SIT, AVAO SIT FAST, FALCON, FALCON MOUNTAIN and SEQUOIA SRT sit harnesses into fall-arrest harnesses. Petzl is a French climbing and mountaineering equipment specialist with a long-standing reputation for technical PPE used across arboriculture, rope access and mountain sports.
It's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
The padded shoulder straps are widely spaced to reduce neck chafing, and the TOP chest harness helps distribute the load over the shoulders when the waistbelt is loaded. Thin, sliding straps give more freedom of movement, and the entire contact zone uses contoured foam lined with breathable material for comfort during extended work and movement.
Key Features
- Transforms compatible sit harnesses into fall-arrest harnesses — AVAO SIT, AVAO SIT FAST, FALCON, FALCON MOUNTAIN and SEQUOIA SRT
- Widely spaced shoulder straps reduce neck chafing
- Thin, sliding straps provide more freedom and ease of movement
- Contoured foam contact zone lined with breathable material for comfort
- Girth-hitch connection to a loop on the back of the harness
- Connects to the front via the connector installed on the TOP chest harness
- Self-locking DOUBLEBACK buckles with anti-slip devices for easy, secure adjustment
- Adjustable Velcro strap positions left or right to hold the ASAP'SORBER energy absorber
- Sternal attachment point for a fall-arrest system
Technical Details
The TOP chest harness only creates a certified fall-arrest system when used with one of its listed compatible sit harnesses (AVAO SIT, AVAO SIT FAST, FALCON, FALCON MOUNTAIN or SEQUOIA SRT) — check compatibility before use.
Why Choose the Petzl TOP Chest Harness?
Rather than buying a dedicated fall-arrest harness outright, the TOP lets you upgrade a compatible Petzl sit harness you may already own into an EN 361-certified fall-arrest system — a genuine cost and weight saving for climbers who only need fall-arrest capability occasionally. The widely spaced, contoured shoulder straps are a deliberate comfort feature over more basic chest harness designs, reducing neck chafing during extended wear.
