Petzl Vertex - Work at Height Helmet for Rope Access, Arboriculture and Rescue

Petzl Vertex is the professional work helmet for rope access technicians, arborists, construction workers and rescue personnel operating at height. Built with a focus on comfort, modularity and dual protection — simultaneously certified for work at height and work on the ground — the Vertex is the industry standard for a work helmet in demanding conditions.

The unventilated outer shell provides maximum protection against electrical hazards, molten metal splash and flames — critically important during electrical installations, welding and work in industrial environments.

Key Features:

• Six-point textile suspension - adapts perfectly to the shape of the head and evenly distributes pressure during prolonged use
• CENTERFIT system - perfect centering of the helmet on the head via two side adjustment wheels for fast and precise fitting
• FLIP&FIT system - the headband is positioned low on the head for a secure fit; folds into the shell for easy storage and transport
• DUAL chinstrap with adjustable strength — adapts the helmet for two modes: work at height (EN 12492) with high strength to limit the risk of losing the helmet during a fall, and work on the ground (EN 397) with low strength to limit the risk of strangulation if the helmet is snagged
• Unventilated shell - protection against electrical hazards, molten metal splash and flames
• Fully modular - integrates a Petzl headlamp, hearing protection, face shield and multiple accessories for complete customisation to the specific application
• Side slots for mounting hearing protection and/or face shield
• Interchangeable standard comfort foam - included
