Petzl CHEST’AIR

Chest harness for seat harnesses

The CHEST’AIR chest harness transforms FALCON, FALCON MOUNTAIN, AVAO SIT and SEQUOIA SRT seat harnesses into fall-arrest harnesses. With multiple certifications, CHEST’AIR can be attached to a climbing or mountaineering harness to keep a victim upright during a rescue. It simply connects to the ventral attachment point of the seat harness and fastens via the FAST LT buckle at the chest, for quick donning. It adapts easily to different body types with its DOUBLEBACK self-locking buckles on the shoulder straps and ventral strap. Made with 3D foam padding, the CHEST’AIR chest harness provides additional comfort while hanging.
