Petzl STRATO VENT Climbing Helmet - Lightweight, Ventilated Head Protection
Experience superior head protection and all-day comfort with the Petzl STRATO VENT Helmet, meticulously designed for professionals undertaking both work at height and ground-based tasks across the UK. This exceptionally lightweight and comfortable helmet offers a secure fit and ventilation holes for airflow, making it an ideal choice for arborist climbing and a wide range of professional applications, certified to CE EN 12492 and EN 397.
Available in White, Black, Yellow and Red, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Petzl dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
The STRATO VENT ensures a secure fit on your head thanks to its innovative CENTERFIT and FLIP&FIT systems. The CENTERFIT feature allows for precise adjustment of the headband, while the FLIP&FIT system positions the headband lower on the head, guaranteeing an excellent hold even during dynamic movements. The adjustable-strength DUAL chinstrap provides added versatility, allowing you to easily adapt the helmet for tasks requiring fall protection (EN 12492) or for ground-level work (EN 397).
Unlike the standard (unventilated) Strato, which is built for electrical and molten-metal hazard environments, the STRATO VENT features ventilation holes that allow airflow through the helmet — a genuine comfort advantage for arborist climbing and active work at height where heat build-up matters.
The STRATO VENT is an entirely modular helmet, offering extensive potential for integration with a range of Petzl accessories. You can easily add a Petzl headlamp for enhanced visibility, hearing protection for noise reduction, and a visor via the EASYCLIP side attachment system, to meet your specific professional needs.
Key Features & Benefits
- Two-part liner in EPP and EPS for reduced weight
- CENTERFIT feature allows perfect centering of the helmet via two side adjustment wheels
- FLIP&FIT system positions the headband low for a secure fit, folds into the shell for storage
- DUAL chinstrap adjustable for work at height (EN 12492) or on the ground (EN 397)
- Shock absorption achieved through deformation of the liner
- Ventilation holes allow airflow through the helmet
- Compatible with Petzl headlamps, hearing protection, visors and eye shields via EASYCLIP
- Adjustable head size range 53-63cm
- Replaceable, absorbent comfort foam
Technical Details
Why Choose the Petzl STRATO VENT?
Petzl is a leading French manufacturer of climbing and work-at-height equipment, and the STRATO VENT's ventilation holes are the key differentiator from the standard Strato — genuine comfort during active arborist climbing, where the unventilated Strato's electrical and molten-metal protection isn't relevant. The DUAL chinstrap switching between EN 12492 (height) and EN 397 (ground) modes means one helmet covers both working contexts without needing separate headgear.
Certified Protection Explained
EN 12492 is the European standard for mountaineering helmets, covering fall protection at height. EN 397 is the standard for industrial safety helmets, covering ground-level impact protection. The DUAL chinstrap lets you switch between high-strength (height) and low-strength (ground, reduces strangulation risk if snagged) settings to match either standard.
Pairs Well With
Complete your headset with a genuine visor or ear defender bundle — see the Strato Vent Mesh Visor Chainsaw Helmet or Strato Vent Vizir Chainsaw Helmet set.
