Petzl Aquila Harness

Aquila Harness delivers flexible fit, all-day comfort, and organized gear loops for trad and sport routes

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use the Aquila for multi-pitch trad because the wide waist stays comfy on hanging belays, and the gear loops hold a double rack without sagging. The adjustable legs make it work in every season, with or without layers."

Aquila Harness is designed for climbers who need comfort and capability from gym lead climbing to alpine epic. The wide, ergonomic waist distributes pressure evenly, banishing hot spots during long hangs or big falls, while the thin EVA padding and flexible webbing conform as you move. Adjustable leg loops, a flexible bridge, and quick Doubleback buckles create a dialed-in fit that adapts for summer shorts or winter softshells.

The harness features two rigid front gear loops for swift racking and unclipping, with two flexible loops in back to angle gear forward—but out of the way while chimneying or carrying packs. Two slots accommodate Caritool holders for ice screws or extra gear, a rear haul loop is ready for a chalk bag or tagline, and the compact belay loop keeps systems neat and easy to inspect. With lightweight construction and robust support, it's a workhorse for trad, sport, and long days on the wall.
