Petzl FALCON ASCENT Lightweight Rescue Harness

Description:

FALCON ASCENT is a lightweight seat harness designed for rescue operations and work involving rope ascent. Two-part ventral attachment point that fastens with an OMNI carabiner and provides greater efficiency when ascending a rope. The design is lightweight and comfortable, joining the slim, semi-rigid waistbelt and leg loops with 3D foam padding, which provides an optimal balance between low weight and comfort, as well as reduced bulk. The DOUBLEBACK PLUS self-locking buckles on the waistbelt and the FAST LT buckles on the leg loops allow for easy and quick donning and adjustment. The rear buckle allows a TOP CROLL L chest harness to be attached.

Description

• Especially ideal for rescue operations and work involving rope ascent:
  - Two-part ventral attachment point fastens with an OMNI carabiner (or RING OPEN gated ring) and allows connection of a CROLL ventral rope clamp
  - Low position of the rope clamp makes it more efficient during rope ascents
  - Webbing loops separate from the attachment point loops allow the installation of a PODIUM seat for greater comfort when hanging for long periods of time
  
• Lightweight and comfortable:
  - Semi-rigid, slim waistbelt and leg loops with 3D foam padding, providing optimal comfort/weight ratio and reduced bulk
  - Textile side attachment points, for occasional use, limit bulk and weight
  
• Ergonomic:
  - Waistbelt equipped with self-locking DOUBLEBACK PLUS buckles for quick and easy adjustment
  - Leg loops equipped with FAST LT buckles to facilitate donning and removing the harness
  - Possible to convert lateral textile attachment points to metal attachment points using the RING2SIDE accessory
  - Rear metal buckle allows a TOP CROLL L chest harness to be attached
  - Five equipment loops: two large rigid ones in front for easy access to gear, three small flexible ones in back that will not interfere with wearing a backpack
  - Two slots for CARITOOL tool holder
