Helmet Stickers

Mi, 04/01/2012 - 22:30 – Bjorn (nicht überprüft)

What are the regulations, and/or your requirements, regarding stickers on the helmets. With respect to inspections (cracks) and/or electrical concerns. We have several helmets that have been "personalized". Do we need to remove the stickers? I also see that we cannot use solvents (to remove the stickers).

Re : Helmet stickers

Di, 10/01/2012 - 10:20 – community_manager

Hello Bjorn,

We do not recommend using anykind of stickers except the official set that we provide for Alveo or Vertex Helmets. Regarding the inspection of your helmets we recommend that you remove the stickers to clearly view the shell, to remove the glue use a gentle cloth to clean the surface with methylated spirit, do not dip the helmet in the methylated spirit.
In the future avoid the personalisation of the helmets except if done with the specific petzl sticker kit and specific application areas.

Thank you for your interest.

Sincerely

Hi,

Can you advise of the recommended period for replacement of climbing helmets. I note that they conform to EN 397. Do they as per construction hard hats require to be marked with the date of manufacture and the recommended replacement period (3 years)? Are they manufactured in the same manner as a safety helment and as such degrade over time with UV exposures hence the need for replacement etc.

What is the recommended replacement period for one of your climbing helmets?

Many thanks

Dawn

Hi!

I would like to purchase the above items and use them during construction in the shipyard onboard the ship and in the refinery/petrochemical plants.

Can advice whether it's safe to use in such environment especially the Vizir. Does the Vizir meets ANSI Z87.1 as a safety goggle?

I seemed not to find goggle marked with 'T'. Can provide a link?

Thanks

VIZIR

Fr, 20/04/2012 - 11:34 – Petzl

Hello
Thank you for your question.
The VIZIR is only certified EN166. We are working on the subject, in order to be in compliance with the ANSI Z87.1 2010 North American standard.
Best regards.

I see that your Vertex Vent helmet has slots for hearing protection. Do you provide the hearing protection accessories or is there another supplier for those?

RE

Mi, 13/06/2012 - 15:13 – community_manager

Hello,

Petzl does not sell auditive protections, Alveo and Vertex helmets can host auditive protections. Peltor protections are compatible with these two models of helmets.

Other accessories such as headlamps and visors can also be fitted on these two models.

Green industrial helmets

Mo, 02/07/2012 - 20:39 – Anonymous (nicht überprüft)

Hi,
Do Petzl make GREEN industrial helmets, i.e. the Vertex? I know that these would be very popular due to the use of green helmets in the offshore industry. This would save rope access workers having to wear a green cover over their yellow helmet or, as I have seen, placing green electrical tape over their helmet. I would buy one!

Re

Di, 10/07/2012 - 18:41 – community_manager

Hello,

Sorry we do not make green helmets anymore, a special order can be made, for this matter please contact the distributor in your country.

Aloha there,

I have a company issued vertex best helmet 53-63 cm/ 20.9-24.8". I did measure my crown of my head and it 53 cm or 21.5". However, when I try to ajust the helmet, it will only go so far and still be lose on my head. If I tilt my head to either side it will roll to each side almosy hanging. How do I correct this issue? Do I need to have my company only order the 53 cm for me?

Please advice,
SR

Hello,
There is no correction possible, you need to obtain the smaller size of Vertex.
Sorry for this inconvenience.

Hi
I want to fit a helmet camera on to my climbing helmet as i am at college and finding the training very hard to take in at one time. I'm just wondering would it still be possible to buy the petzl approved personalisation stickers and then stick a 3M adhesive sticker on top of the personalisation sticker without it damaging the helmet?
Thanks

RE : petzl personalisation stickers

Mi, 12/12/2012 - 16:48 – community_manager

Hello,
yes you can use the Petzl approved stickers. If you are able to determine the absence of solvants in the 3M adhesive you could stick the 3M directly on the Helmet.
Thank you for your participation to the discussions
