Hi-Viz Alpine Safety Helmet by Petzl Vertex
This industrial safety helmet is designed to protect you during both work at height and ground-level tasks. The Petzl Vertex Alpine Helmet in hi-viz delivers reliable head protection with a closed shell design that shields against electrical hazards, molten metal splashes and flames. With its six-point textile suspension system, this general-purpose climbing helmet adapts to the shape of your head for a secure, personalised fit. The adjustable size range accommodates heads from 53 to 63 centimetres, whilst the innovative CENTERFIT adjustment system keeps the helmet perfectly positioned using side wheels that work even with gloves on. The included FLIP&FIT headband folds away neatly for convenient storage and transport. What makes this non-ventilated hard hat particularly versatile is the dual-position chinstrap, which adjusts for different working environments-offering high strength protection when working at height to prevent loss during a fall, and low strength when on the ground to reduce strangulation risk. The hi-viz fluorescent shell with reflective bands ensures you remain visible to your team throughout the day.
