Petzl Vertex Vent – Ventilated Helmet for Arborists

The Petzl Vertex Vent is a highly comfortable work helmet developed specifically for arborists and professional users. With its six-point textile suspension, CENTERFIT centring system and FLIP&FIT adjustable headband, optimal fit and comfort are guaranteed all day long. The helmet is ideal for both work at height and ground work thanks to the adjustable DUAL chinstrap, which can be set to two positions: high for EN 12492 (work at height) and low for EN 397 (ground work).[1][5]

The ventilated shell with sliding vent covers over the holes provides adjustable airflow – open for maximum ventilation or close for weather protection. The helmet has a retractable neck support for easy storage and transport. It is fully modular and compatible with Petzl accessories such as headlamps (e.g. via EASYCLIP), ear defenders and visors (compatible models only).[1][2][5]

• **FLIP&FIT system**: The headband can be positioned low for a secure fit and folded into the shell for compact storage[1][5]
