The Petzl Vertex Helmet is a comfortable and versatile professional safety helmet designed for work at height and on the ground. Its six-point textile suspension, adjustable fit systems and dual-position chinstrap provide a secure and comfortable fit across different working environments.
The unventilated outer shell provides protection against electrical hazards, molten metal splash and flames, while the helmet’s modular design allows professionals to add accessories such as eye protection, hearing protection, headlamps and neck protection. With a 490 g weight and 53–63 cm head circumference, the VERTEX combines dependable protection with practical everyday usability.
Comfortable and Secure Fit
The Petzl Vertex Helmet uses a six-point textile suspension system that adapts to the shape of the head for improved comfort. The CENTERFIT system uses two side adjustment wheels to center the helmet precisely on the head.
The FLIP&FIT system allows the headband to be positioned in a lower position for a secure fit. When not required, the system folds into the helmet shell, making the helmet easier to store and transport.
The helmet is supplied with interchangeable standard comfort foam, allowing the interior components to be replaced when required.
DUAL Chinstrap for Different Work Environments
A major feature of the Petzl Vertex Helmet is its DUAL chinstrap, which allows the wearer to select the appropriate chinstrap strength according to the working environment.
The high-strength position is intended for work at height and helps reduce the risk of the helmet coming off during a fall. The lower-strength position is intended for work on the ground and helps limit the risk of strangulation if the helmet becomes snagged.
The helmet’s shock absorption is achieved through deformation of the outer shell. Its unventilated design also provides protection against electrical hazards, molten metal splash and flames.
Modular Accessories
The Petzl Vertex Helmet is designed as a modular platform for professional applications. It can be equipped with an eye shield using the EASYCLIP side attachment system and can accommodate Petzl headlamps using dedicated mounts or headlamps with elastic headbands.
Additional accessories include a helmet protector, nape protector, nametag holder and hearing protection. The chinstrap and comfort foam can also be changed, allowing the helmet to be adapted and maintained for different working requirements.
The standard VERTEX is available in white, yellow, red, black, orange, blue and green, with separate high-visibility yellow and orange versions also available.
