4. Is training required in order to purchase the Petzl EXO system?

We will travel ANYWHERE in the United States to provide this training to your fire department or emergency service agency. Call for more information, product purchase and to schedule a class.

7. Can I purchase my Petzl EXO System and use it at the Petzl End User training class?
Yes. Customers or fire departments may pre-purchase their EXO system (and harness if needed). The system will be held until the class is held. At that time the EXO will be provided to the student for use in class, then for use in the field.

8. Can the EXO and Triact carabiner components be purchased separately from the kits?
No. The EXO kit is engineered as a complete system and is manufactured, tested and inspected under Petzl's ISO 9001 quality control standard and certified under NFPA standards as a complete personal escape system. All components are compatible with one another and perform correctly under specific test criteria.

9. Does the Petzl EXO system require the user to have a class-2 harness?
Yes, the Petzl EXO system is designed and engineered to be used with a class-2 harness such as the Gemtor 541NYC left side closing harness and the RIT Class-2 harness. It will meet the NFPA standard when used with either harness.

10. Will the Petzl EXO system work with the Gemtor 541NYC RIGHT and LEFT side closing harness?
NO. The Petzl EXO system is designed to work with the left side closing harness only. A right side closing harness will not work. If a department is interested in the Petzl EXO system and their turnout gear will not accomodate the needed left side closing Gemtor harness, an alternative is to purchase the RIT Class-2 harness.

11. Why are the ends of the rope sewn and not knotted?
Knots lower the strength of rope possibly as much as 35% or more. The sewing stitch is made of Kevlar thread and allow the terminations to be compact and very strong.
