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

Ergonomic ventilated safety helmet designed for work use. A new model starting 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 guard, Vizen full-face shield, or Vizen Mesh visor can be quickly attached to the helmet using the included EasyClip quick-attachment clips, which replace the black plugs on the helmet sides. All Bollé Safety electric welding masks can also be similarly attached using available adapter accessories. Removal is tool-free, requiring only button presses. Side mounts for hearing protectors. Compatible with most common helmet-mounted hearing protectors (e.g., Sordin). Identical mounting points at front and rear 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 chin strap features a Dual selector: the user can set it to EN12492 compliance for fall-risk conditions (chin strap remains secured after a 50 daN pull), or to EN397 compliance for ground-level work (chin strap releases at a maximum of 25 daN pull). A 6-point harness keeps the helmet securely in place even in difficult working positions and provides 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 protectors.
