It has been identified that the harness can be put on backwards, and the
rope or carabiner can therefore be attached to a non-weight-bearing leg
loop elastic band. This places the user at a risk of falling from height and
sustaining injuries.
Models: GYM, PANDION and PANJI
Product description:
A lightweight, compact harness used for ski mountaineering, glacier travel, snow travel and adventure racing. Product has a flexible equipment loop on the waist-belt.
Warning users of the risk by: • Reminding operators of the importance of training, supervising and
monitoring before and during use of the harness and all equipment,
particularly when making the equipment available to customers.
• Providing and promoting access to educational tools.
• Providing an option for GYM, PANDION and PANJI owners to send
Petzl their harnesses for replacement of the current leg loop elastic
band with a new design, free of charge. It is not mandatory for users or operators to replace the elastics. Petzl
however recommends that you send your harness to Petzl After Sales
