Petzl SEQUOIA Shoulder Straps – SRS Torso Mode, Compatible with SEQUOIA & SEQUOIA PLUS (C069DB00)
The Petzl C069DB00 SEQUOIA Shoulder Straps are designed for use with the SEQUOIA and SEQUOIA PLUS arborist sit harnesses. Padded straps displace weight from the waistbelt and distribute it comfortably across the shoulders for extended canopy work. The modular design allows the shoulder straps to transition to Torso mode to connect an SRS ascent system, with three possible sternal connection heights for optimal adjustment to different body sizes. Three webbing straps connect to the harness via included MINO accessory carabiners.

The C069DB00 is designed for the Petzl SEQUOIA and SEQUOIA PLUS sit harnesses and is also compatible with a variety of other tree care sit harnesses.
What is SRS Torso mode?
In Torso mode, the shoulder straps are connected to an SRS ascent system via an accessory carabiner (such as the MINO, not included) at the sternal strap. This keeps the ascent system raised and in position during SRS rope climbing, improving efficiency and reducing fatigue.

Three MINO carabiners are included for connecting the shoulder straps to the harness. An additional carabiner for connecting the ascent system to the sternal strap in Torso mode is not included.
Are these shoulder straps PPE?
No — the SEQUOIA Shoulder Straps are not classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). They are a comfort and organization accessory.
Can the sternal strap be removed?
Yes — the sternal strap is removable to make it easier to put on and take off the shoulder straps.
