D<\/span><\/span>on’t let the orange color and d\u00e9j\u00e0-vu look fool you. A discerning eye will notice right away: the new Petzl Hirundos<\/strong> harness has changed a lot since the previous model, which, by the way, was red. But that’s far from the difference with this new Hirundos, Petzl’s flagship model for climbing, from indoor to big-pitch, right up to mountaineering.<\/p>\n

Released in 2023, this new version benefits from a completely new construction: Fuseframe construction<\/strong>, glued in place of the classic construction with exposed seams (on the previous, red model). This Fuseframe construction with thermoformed closed-cell foam is designed to provide constant comfort throughout the activity, whether indoors, on cliffs or in the mountains. We only tested this Petzl Hirundos on cliff outings: but its contained weight of 310 grams in size M makes it a suitable harness for mountaineering. Other specific features make this rather high-end harness a real departure from its predecessor.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/petzl_hirundos.jpg” title_text=”petzl_hirundos” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/petzl_hirundos-1.jpg” title_text=”petzl_hirundos (1)” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/4859256.jpg” title_text=”4859256″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let’s be clear: we like the harness’s design and sobriety. No frills : just five gear loops, the very best. More on that later. As for color, the trigger guard and its two attachment points are white, for easy identification. Otherwise, it’s all color block, apart from a slight mottled look on the gear loops. If you don’t like orange color, don’t worry: Petzl offers its Hirundos in black.<\/p>\n

Comfort: Fuseframe construction<\/strong> means less thickness, but comfort is still there. The Hirundos is very, very comfortable. There’s no pressure point, and the waistband is not very wide, but still comfortable when suspended. Okay, after an hour hanging on a static rope to shoot Tanguy Merard, the last Frenchman to climb 9b (5.15b !) , you start to get tired, but if your companion spends more than an hour belaying without a break, you’ve got to choose something easier! So yes, comfort is the name of the game.<\/p>\n

For which activity?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Hirundos, once used by mountaineers, is designed for sport climbing. But Petzl has chosen to add features such as a real fifth gear loop (unlike the previous version of the Hirundos, which only had a little loop for a pof bag) and two systems of loops for attaching caritools, those plastic loops (optional) for carrying ice screws.<\/p>\n

In short, the Hirundos has a broad spectrum: indoor, crag, long route, mountain.The only difference with a 100% mountaineering harness is that it doesn’t have adjustable thigh buckles, a prerogative of the Adjama model. But this is not an absolute rule: the Sitta, a top-of-the-range mountaineering harness, has no adjustable thigh loops. Finally, on this new Hirundos, TPU patches have appeared on the back of the thigh straps to protect this area from abrasion.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/petzl_harness_lafouche-32.jpg” title_text=”petzl_harness_lafouche-32″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

The test<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First of all, we like the idea that with this harness you can switch from one activity to another: the Hirundos can do it all, and that’s just as well. With the exception of ski touring, where you’re more likely to want an ultra-light harness, the Hirundos can be used for all vertical activities (except canyoneering, of course, if you want to keep it in good condition).<\/p>\n

As we’ve already said, the harness is very comfortable to wear, closed by the aluminum “double back” buckle. The only drawback is that the loop for holding the extra webbing is a little too narrow. The flexible – and elasticated – thigh straps offer maximum comfort when climbing or on approach walks. The plus? They can each be unclipped from the belt (at the back, of course), should the need arise.<\/p>\n

The rear ring has been turned into a real gear rack, so if you want to attach your hauling rope to it, no problem. The two front holders (left and right) are rigid, so you can get your quickdraws out and on faster. The two rear holders are flexible, so they won’t get in the way when you’re wearing a backpack. Nice touch.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” max_width=”800px” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”18px” background_color=”#282828″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

CONCLUSION<\/p>\n

From a 100% climbing harness, Petzl has made the latest generation of the Hirundos an all-in-one harness, capable of accompanying you on all your outings, from the climbing gym to the big route. Its sober design conceals three-star comfort and, in our opinion, a complete range of accessories. A great choice.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”18px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_all=”2px” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Un oeil averti le remarquera tout de suite : le nouveau harnais Petzl Hirundos a bien chang\u00e9 depuis le mod\u00e8le pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, qui d'ailleurs, \u00e9tait rouge. Mais ce n'est pas, loin de l\u00e0, la diff\u00e9rence avec ce nouvel Hirundos, mod\u00e8le phare de Petzl pour l'escalade, de la salle \u00e0 la grande voie, jusqu'\u00e0 l'alpinisme. <\/span>\n\nSortie en 2023, cette nouvelle mouture b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie d'une construction compl\u00e8tement nouvelle : la construction Fuseframe, coll\u00e9e, \u00e0 la place de la construction classique, dont les coutures \u00e9taient apparentes (sur le mod\u00e8le pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent, rouge). Cette construction Fuseframe avec mousse \u00e0 cellules ferm\u00e9es thermoform\u00e9es est cens\u00e9e apport\u00e9e pour un confort constant tout au long de l'activit\u00e9, que ce soit en salle, en falaise ou en montagne. Nous avons test\u00e9 ce Petzl Hirundos au cours de sorties en falaise uniquement : mais son poids contenu de 310 grammes en taille M en font un baudrier adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 l'alpinisme. D'autres sp\u00e9cificit\u00e9s font de ce harnais plut\u00f4t haut de gamme une vraie nouveaut\u00e9 par rapport \u00e0 son pr\u00e9d\u00e9cesseur.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/petzl_hirundos.jpg\" title_text=\"petzl_hirundos\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/petzl_hirundos-1.jpg\" title_text=\"petzl_hirundos (1)\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/4859256.jpg\" title_text=\"4859256\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"800px\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.18.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" text_font_size=\"18px\" text_font_size_tablet=\"\" text_font_size_phone=\"18px\" text_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n

Design<\/strong><\/h3>\nSoyons clairs : on aime le design et le caract\u00e8re sobre du harnais. Pas de fioritures, pas de superflu : seulement cinq porte-mat\u00e9riels, le top. On y reviendra. C\u00f4t\u00e9 couleur, le pontet et ses deux points d'attache sont de couleur blanche, histoire d'\u00eatre bien identifi\u00e9s. Sinon c'est color block, hormis un l\u00e9ger aspect chin\u00e9 sur les porte-mat\u00e9riels. Si vous n'aimez pas la couleur orange, pas de souci : Petzl propose son Hirundos en noir. Difficile de faire plus sobre.\n\nLe confort : la construction Fuseframe se traduit par une \u00e9paisseur moindre, mais le confort, lui, est bien l\u00e0. Le Hirundos est tr\u00e8s, tr\u00e8s confortable. Aucun point d'appui, une ceinture qui sans \u00eatre tr\u00e8s large demeure confortable en suspension. Bon, apr\u00e8s une heure pendu sur une corde statique pour shooter Tanguy Merard<\/a>, on commence \u00e0 fatiguer, mais si votre compagnon passe plus d'une heure \u00e0 saucissonner ou \u00e0 \u00eatre au relais, il faut choisir plus facile ! Donc oui, le confort est au rendez-vous.\n

Pour quelle activit\u00e9 ? <\/strong><\/h3>\nLe Hirundos, autrefois utilis\u00e9 par les alpinistes, est destin\u00e9 \u00e0 l'escalade sportive. Mais Petzl a choisi d'y ajouter des \u00e9l\u00e9ments comme un vrai cinqui\u00e8me porte-mat\u00e9riel (contrairement \u00e0 la version pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente du Hirundos, dot\u00e9 seulement d'une petite boucle pour sac \u00e0 pof) et deux syst\u00e8mes de passants pour fixer des caritools, ces boucles plastiques (optionnelles) pour porter des broches \u00e0 glace.\n\nBref, le Hirundos a un spectre large : salle, falaise, grande voie, montagne. Seule diff\u00e9rence avec un harnais 100% alpinisme : il n'a pas de boucles r\u00e9glables aux cuisses, apanage du mod\u00e8le Adjama. Mais ce n'est pas une r\u00e8gle absolue : le Sitta, haut de gamme alpinisme, n'a pas de tours de cuisses r\u00e9glables. Enfin, sur ce nouveau Hirundos, des patchs en TPU ont fait leur apparition sur l\u2019arri\u00e8re des tours de cuisse pour\u00a0prot\u00e9ger cette zone de l\u2019abrasion.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/petzl_harness_lafouche-32.jpg\" title_text=\"petzl_harness_lafouche-32\" _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" _module_preset=\"default\" hover_enabled=\"0\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" text_font_size=\"18px\" text_font_size_tablet=\"\" text_font_size_phone=\"18px\" text_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n\n\u00c0 l'usage<\/strong>\n\nD\u00e9j\u00e0, on aime l'id\u00e9e qu'avec ce harnais on puisse passer d'une activit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'autre : le Hirundos sait tout faire, et c'est tant mieux. Mis \u00e0 part le ski de rando, o\u00f9 l'on aura plut\u00f4t envie d'un harnais ultra light, on peut emmener le Hirundos dans toutes les activit\u00e9s verticales (sauf le canyon \u00e9videmment si on veut le garder en bon \u00e9tat).\n\nTr\u00e8s confort, on l'a dit, le harnais est ferm\u00e9 par la boucle \"double back\", en aluminium. Seul b\u00e9mol, le passant qui permet de tenir le rab de sangle est un peu trop \u00e9troit. Les tours de cuisse souples - et \u00e9lastiqu\u00e9s - offrent\u00a0 un confort maximal en grimpant ou pendant la marche d'approche. Le plus ? Ils sont d\u00e9clipsables chacun de la ceinture (\u00e0 l'arri\u00e8re \u00e9videmment), en cas de besoin.\n\nL'anneau arri\u00e8re est devenu un vrai porte-matos, si vous voulez y attacher votre corde de hissage aucun souci. Les deux porte-matos \u00e0 l'avant (\u00e0 droite et \u00e0 gauche) sont rigides, pour sortir et mousquetonner plus vite vos d\u00e9gaines. Tandis que les deux porte-matos arri\u00e8res sont souples, pour ne pas g\u00eaner en cas de port de sac \u00e0 dos. Bien vu.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"RGBA(255,255,255,0)\" max_width=\"800px\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.19.0\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.24.2\" text_font=\"||||||||\" text_text_color=\"#FFFFFF\" text_font_size=\"18px\" background_color=\"#282828\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"20px|20px|20px|20px|false|false\" text_font_size_tablet=\"\" text_font_size_phone=\"18px\" text_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n
