The VERTEX® Helmet by Petzl is engineered for optimal comfort and protection, making it suitable for both work at height and on the ground. Its design incorporates several features to ensure a secure and comfortable fit:
- Six-Point Textile Suspension: Conforms perfectly to the shape of the head, enhancing comfort and stability.
- CENTERFIT System: Allows precise centering of the helmet on the head using two side adjustment wheels.
- FLIP&FIT System: Enables the headband to be positioned low on the head for a secure fit; the system folds into the shell for easy storage and transport.
- DUAL Chinstrap: Offers two positions to adapt to different environments:
- High Strength: Limits the risk of losing the helmet during a fall (EN 12492).
- Low Strength: Reduces the risk of strangulation if the helmet is snagged while the user is on the ground (EN 397).
- Shock Absorption: Achieved through deformation of the unventilated outer shell, providing protection against electrical hazards, molten metal splashes, and flames.
- Modular Accessories: Compatible with various accessories to meet professional needs:
- Eye Shield: EASYCLIP side attachment system for easy installation.
- Petzl Headlamp: Mounts for secure attachment.
- Helmet Protector: Keeps the shell free from soiling and paint splashes.
