Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet (White, One Size)

The self-braking descender features a multifunction handle that allows users to unblock the rope and control the descent with a hand on the free end of the rope. It facilitates smooth movement on horizontal or inclined terrain and enables positioning at a workstation without the need to tie off the device. The integrated anti-panic function automatically stops the descent if the user pulls too hard on the handle, enhancing safety during operation. Constructed with an anodized aluminum and stainless steel body, the device ensures durability and longevity. The lever for releasing the rope is made of glass fiber-reinforced polyamide, providing strength and reliability. A safety lock reduces the risk of accidents due to incorrect installation of the device on the rope, promoting user confidence. The handle can be locked in position for secure placement on the rope, aiding in controlled descents. Compatible with rope diameters ranging from 10 to 11.5 mm, accommodating various operational needs. The device is also suitable as a backstop for pulley systems, enabling quick transitions between lifting and lowering operations.
