Petzl AVEN speleo part-time

Product detailed description

AVEN is a comfortable and durable harness designed for caving. The belt is padded and the wider leg straps ensure comfort during long vertical climbs and rappels in the cave. The leg straps are reinforced with durable TPU material and the material loops and HMPE connection points make this harness extremely durable. The connection points are placed as low as possible to make ascents on the rope easier and more efficient. It is equipped with six material loops, two slots for CARITOOL material carriers and a strap loop for transporting and organizing gear.

Designed for comfort:

• Wide belt padding provides great comfort and support without restricting overall mobility or rope climbs
• Closed-cell foam belt prevents water absorption and keeps the harness comfortable throughout its lifetime
• Wide leg straps offer better weight distribution between thighs and pelvis
• The buckles of the leg straps are located on the inside of the legs to reduce the risk of entrapment in narrow passages

Increased durability:

• Foot straps are reinforced with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for greater abrasion resistance
• Polyester belt
• Material handles made of extremely durable high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE)
• Polyester webbing is very durable and will retain its properties over time
• Connection points are fully reinforced with high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) for high durability
• Back buckle with flap to protect against wear and tear

Effective rope ascents:

• Rope ascent efficiency is optimised by lower positioning of connection points
• Three material loops on each side for transporting and organizing large amounts of gear
• Two slots for CARITOOL material carriers
• Different coloured safety seams for easy identification of the size of the harness (yellow stitching for size 1, black stitching for size 2)
• High-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) strap for tying the bag
