Customer references

“We were only using caving bags, and we wanted one specifically adapted to our aerial adventure park job. At first, the objective was to create a bag with the ideal volume for our rescue rope. The rescue kit we are using (20m of rope, carabineers, webbings, a descender, pulleys etc…) fits in a 20L bag, which avoids a large and heavy bag to carry around.

CiLAO was very enthusiastic, they conceived prototypes very quickly and the project was born. We had a dynamic and human collaboration.

We are using the 20L backpack for our rescue-kit, the 25L in addition for our tools and PPE. It is very solid, useful and practical; the best backpack for off-ground interventions!

We’ve been using them since 2014, and they are still in a very good shape.”

Philippe Mercanti, AFFORPAH trainer, and owner of the aerial adventure park Aventure Pyrénées Hô
