Petzl Vertex Vent - Ventilated Work at Height Helmet for Rope Access and Arboriculture

Petzl Vertex Vent is the ventilated version of the iconic Vertex work helmet - identical construction, fit systems and modularity, but with adjustable ventilation openings with sliding shutters for airflow control. Designed for rope access technicians, arborists, construction workers and rescue personnel working in physically demanding outdoor conditions, where breathability is critical for comfort and concentration throughout a long working shift.

The ventilation openings with sliding shutters allow airflow to be adjusted at any time - even while the helmet is being worn - for warm and cold weather within a single working day without compromising the level of protection.

Key Features:

• Ventilation openings with sliding shutters - adjustable airflow for cooling during physically demanding work in warm weather and for closing in cold or windy conditions
• 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
• High-strength polycarbonate shell - absorbs impacts through deformation of the outer shell
• Fully modular - integrates a Petzl headlamp, hearing protection, face shield and multiple accessories via EASYCLIP side attachment system
• Side slots for mounting hearing protection and/or face shield
• Interchangeable standard comfort foam - included

Petzl Vertex Vent or Petzl Vertex -  which should I choose?

Petzl Vertex Vent has adjustable ventilation openings - better breathability during physically demanding outdoor work in warm and moderate weather. Ideal for arborists, construction workers and rope access technicians working actively outdoors. Petzl Vertex has an unventilated shell - maximum protection against electrical hazards, flames and molten metal splash. If you work in electrical or industrial environments with risk of flames - the Vertex is the right choice. For all other outdoor applications - the Vertex Vent is the more comfortable option.

Petzl Vertex Vent is the work helmet for arborists, rope access technicians, construction workers and rescue personnel looking for a certified, ventilated and fully modular head protection solution for intensive work at height and on the ground.
