HELMET PETZL VERTEX YELLOW NEW EN397, EN50365, ANSI, 53-63CM

Ergonomic full-shell helmet for occupational use. New model from April 2019 in terms of design and accessory compatibility. Designed for versatile applications, both in fall-risk environments and on level ground. Recommended model for industrial use and the electrical and energy sectors.

The new Petzl Vizir eye shield, Protector visor guard, Vizen full-face shield, or Vizen Mesh visor can be quickly attached using the included EasyClip quick-attachment clips, replacing the black plugs on the sides of the helmet. All Bollé Safety electric welding masks can be similarly attached using available adapter accessories. Removal is tool-free, requiring only button presses. Side mounts for hearing protection compatible with most common helmet-mounted hearing protectors (e.g., Sordin). Identical front and rear attachment points for quick attachment of forehead lights or ID card holders. Integrated side mounts for securing a forehead light via a forehead band. Rear attachment points for neck protection.

Dual selector on chin strap: User can set EN12492-compliant mode for fall-risk conditions (chin strap remains secured after a 50 daN (kg) jolt), or EN397-compliant mode for ground-level work (chin strap releases at a maximum of 25 daN (kg) jolt).
Six-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-adjustable dials are easy to operate even with gloves on. The Flip&Fit inner lining folds 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 on the shell.

Vertex helmets offer excellent compatibility with other protective equipment. Recommended for use with GVS Elipse respirators and Bollé Safety eye protection.
