VERTEX VENT Petzl Helmet - White Industrial Safety Climbing Helmet with Ventilation

On a wind turbine high above the North Sea, a technician adjusts the sliding vents on his VERTEX VENT helmet, letting cool air flow as he works. This helmet is built for professionals who need reliable head protection in demanding environments. The VERTEX VENT combines robust ABS shell with an EPP/EPS liner, offering top and side impact protection while keeping weight low. Its ventilation system features adjustable sliding shutters, allowing you to control airflow based on conditions. The CENTERFIT and FLIP&FIT adjustment system ensures a secure, comfortable fit for head sizes 53-63 cm. Six-point textile suspension and absorbent comfort foam enhance all-day wear. EASYCLIP side slots accept Petzl headlamps, eye shields, and hearing protection. Certified to EN 397, EN 12492, and ANSI Z89.1 Type I Class C, it's suitable for work at height, rescue, and industrial applications. The chinstrap resists over 50 daN, and the helmet has a 10-year lifespan. Operating temperature range: -30°C to +50°C. Colour: White.

Good to know

The helmet is not electrically insulating (Class C), so it should not be used where electrical hazards are present. The sliding shutters can be easily adjusted with one hand, even while wearing gloves. The EASYCLIP system allows for quick attachment of Petzl headlamps and other accessories without the need for tools. The helmet's lifespan is counted from the date of manufacture, which is marked on the shell. Always inspect the helmet before each use and replace it after any significant impact.
