Petzl® ASTRO® International Version
The Petzl® ASTRO® International Version is a full-body harness designed specifically for professional rope access, rope progression, and rope ascent. Its integrated CROLL L rope clamp, gated ventral attachment point, 3D foam padding, and multiple equipment-management features provide technicians with an efficient and comfortable platform for extended work on rope.
Why It's Used
Rope access technicians need more than basic fall protection. Their harness must support rope ascent, controlled descent, work positioning, equipment organization, and extended periods of suspension while keeping critical rope-access components properly positioned.
The ASTRO® integrates these functions into a single professional harness. Its gated ventral attachment point allows descenders, progression equipment, positioning lanyards, or a work seat to be efficiently integrated into the system, while the built-in CROLL L rope clamp improves efficiency during rope ascent.
