Comfortable and Functional Helmets

Whether you are working at height or on the ground, you need a helmet that fits you with comfort just as much as it protects you with security. The VERTEX® helmet is the option for professionals looking for a protective yet adjustable helmet. The VERTEX® is available with or without a vent. An unventilated outer shell protects against dangers you may face on the job like electric hazards or even flames. 

Petzl’s STRATO® helmet is a lighter weight option that utilizes CENTERFIT and FLIP&FIT systems to remain balanced on the head, securely. STRATO® is also engineered with adjustable-strength chinstraps; a helmet that fits you correctly is the only safe way to wear proper PPE. Once again, this helmet is available with and without the vent, depending on your line of work and needs.

Both Petzl helmets are entirely modular; they can be adjusted to meet the standards and needs of any crew. 

Headlamps Guide the Way

Arborwear also carries a variety of Petzl headlamps you can easily attach to the Petzl helmet of your choosing, and fit securely to provide you with the light you need: 

The Tactikka® Core offers three different beam patterns to fit your specific needs.

The wide beam emits a close-range light and should be used for less intense activities like traveling, reading, or general repair work around the home. 

The mixed beam works best for when you are moving around, as one does while climbing, hiking, or mountaineering. 

A focused beam provides concentrated and long-distance light where precise vision is necessary, great for trail runners, back-country skiers, bikers, and other expeditionists.

The Tactikka® Core utilizes a HYBRID concept to make energy flexible, which means you can use the CORE rechargeable battery or three AAA batteries for this headlamp. These headlamps offer proven toughness. They go through a series of mechanical performance tests, including fall tests, shock tests, and crushing tests. For crew leaders, these accessories are a great incentive and tool for keeping your crew safe in dimly lit working conditions.

 

Whether headlamps or face shields, investing in a Petzl product for your team is a great way of saying “stay safe out there.”  Check out Arborwear’s collection of Petzl helmets and accessories here
