HELMET PETZL VERTEX VENT BLACK EN397, EN12492, ANSI, 53-63CM

Ergonomic ventilated safety helmet designed for work use. A new model introduced from 4/2019 in terms of structure and accessory compatibility. Designed for versatile applications, both in fall-risk environments and on flat terrain. Particularly suitable for construction work, industrial needs, confined spaces, rescue operations, asphalt work, snow removal, and other demanding tasks involving heat. The ventilation openings on the sides can be easily closed from the outside, for example during rain or snowfall. Total surface area of ventilation openings when side flaps are open: 26.77 cm². The new Petzl Vizir eye shield, Protector visor shield, Vizen full-face shield, or Vizen Mesh mesh visor can be quickly attached to the helmet using the included EasyClip quick-attachment clips, replacing the black side pads on the helmet. All Bollé Safety electric welding masks can also be similarly attached using available adapter accessories. Removal is tool-free, accomplished by simply pressing buttons. Side mounts for hearing protection compatible with most common helmet-mounted hearing protectors (e.g., Sordin). Identical mounting points on front and back for quick attachment of forehead lights or ID card holders. Integrated side mounts for securing a forehead light via a forehead strap. Rear attachment points for a neck guard. The neck strap features a Dual selector: the user can set it to EN12492 compliance for fall-risk situations (neck strap remains secured after a 50 daN (kg) jolt), or to EN397 compliance for ground-level work (neck strap releases at a maximum of 25 daN (kg) jolt). The 6-point harness keeps the helmet securely in place even in difficult working positions and offers excellent comfort. Thanks to the CenterFit adjustment system (53–63 cm), the helmet is always correctly centered and fits exceptionally well. The two side adjustment wheels, easily operated from the outside, are simple to use even with gloves on. The Flip&Fit inner lining folds neatly into the helmet during transport and is easy to unfold. The helmet has no obstructive, neck-straining, or field-of-vision-limiting brim, nor rigidizing ribs attached to the structure. Vertex helmets offer excellent compatibility with other protective equipment. Recommended for use with GVS Elipse respirators and Bollé Safety eye shields. Tested to protect the head according to the following test methods: EN397 standard mandatory requirements: - 5.1.1.

Penetration resistance from a single object (3 kg sharp steel cone at 60 degrees dropped from 1 m height) - 5.1.3. Flame resistance - 5.1.4. Neck strap release: remains secured up to 15 daN jolt and releases at latest at 25 daN jolt (when Dual selector is set to 25 kg position) EN397 standard voluntary requirements: - 5.2.1. Protection at low temperatures (-30°C) - 5.2.4. Lateral compression protection (LD) - 5.2.5. Protection against molten metal splash (MM) EN12492 standard mandatory requirements: - 5.7.3. Force required to open the neck strap must be high enough to prevent helmet detachment during a fall impact (when Dual selector is set to 50 kg position) - 4.1.4. Effective ventilation (sufficient total area of openings) - 4.2.1.1. Impact attenuation from objects falling from over 1 meter (5 kg dropped from 2 m height) - 4.2.1.2. Frontal impact protection - 4.2.1.3. Lateral impact protection - 4.2.1.4. Rear impact protection - 4.2.2. Penetration resistance from multiple objects (3 kg sharp weight dropped from 1 m height twice) - 4.2.3. Headband strength - 4.2.4. Tilt test (10 kg falling load tears the helmet upward from front and rear at the crown) Maximum service life of 10 years, resulting in over 77% less environmental waste compared to standard helmets.
