Helmets
Essential for work at height and certain industrial activities, helmets give the user effective protection from falling objects, or if the person him/herself falls. Thanks to a very secure fit on the head, Petzl helmets are comfortable to wear in any situation. With a complete line of entirely modular accessories, they meet the diverse needs of professionals.
Excellent fit on the head
CENTERFIT adjustment
The CENTERFIT adjustment system allows the helmet to be perfectly centered on the head. The headband is easy to adjust by simultaneously rotating the two side adjustment wheels, even while wearing gloves.
FLIP&FIT system
The FLIP&FIT system immediately positions the headband in a low position, to guarantee that the helmet fits securely on the head. The headband folds into the shell for easy storage and transport.
DUAL chinstrap strength is adjustable, to adapt to any work situation
The DUAL chinstrap allows the worker to adjust chinstrap strength in order to adapt the helmet to different environments: work at height (EN 12492) or on the ground (EN 397).
The clip has two positions, corresponding to the following two uses:
- higher strength to limit the risk of the helmet coming off in a fall (strength greater than 50 daN)
- lower strength to limit the risk of strangulation, by releasing if snagged when user is at ground level (strength lower than 25 daN)
