Single-User Harness – Soft Backpack
Its simple design allows use by non-professionals. For one user only.
- Applicable height
- 30–260 ft (9–80 m)
SkySaver products are designed for emergency evacuation, automatic descent, rescue and work at height. The range is built from five product lines: harnesses for adults, harnesses for dependents, automatic descent devices, anchor solutions and full systems.

Products can be combined around the person, the descent distance and the available anchorage, for individual evacuation, assisted rescue and the sequential evacuation of several people.
The range includes individual and parent harnesses, with attachments for infants, children and pets.
Device options differ in operating height and in whether they support individual or sequential evacuation.
They provide the connection to a suitable structural anchor point, selected for the location and the product configuration.
Wearable harnesses for one user, for parents descending with a dependent, and for professional work at height, in soft and hard backpack versions.
