Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet

Rescue Ready. Ventilated protection. Built for work at height.

The Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet sets the benchmark for head protection in work-at-height, rope access, and technical rescue environments. Updated in 2019, the Vertex Vent incorporates advanced fit, ventilation, and accessory integration features to support long-duration use in demanding conditions.

The DUAL chinstrap allows the user to select high-strength retention to reduce helmet loss during a fall, or low-strength release to limit strangulation risk when working at ground level. The CENTERFIT adjustment system keeps the helmet perfectly centred, while the FLIP&FIT system folds the harness into the shell for compact storage and transport.

Integrated ventilation ports with sliding shutters allow airflow when required, improving comfort without compromising protection. The EASYCLIP system enables quick attachment of Petzl VIZIR and VIZEN eye and face protection.
