Petzl Strato Vent Lightweight Safety Helmet – ANSI Z89.1 Type I Class C | Hi-Viz Orange

Strato Vent by Petzl: Ultra-light comfort meets smart ventilation

Designed for hot environments where you need reliable head protection without weighing you down, the Petzl Strato Vent delivers a balanced blend of protection, airflow, and practical features. Weighing just 415 g, it uses a hybrid EPP and EPS liner to cushion impacts while keeping the overall load minimal for long shifts or intense workdays.

The helmet’s shell is engineered with wide ventilation holes to promote airflow around the crown and sides. When temperatures rise or you’re sweating through a long task, these openings help maintain a cooler feel without compromising structure or safety. The Strato Vent is built to stay securely in place during movement, thanks to Petzl’s CENTERFIT and FLIP&FIT systems. A flexible headband and dual side wheels allow for precise centering and quick adjustments, so you can find a comfortable, stable fit even after donning gloves.

You can pair it with Petzl accessories to tailor protection to your routine without sacrificing comfort or mobility. While results will vary by task and environment, the combination of lightweight design, thoughtful ventilation, and flexible fit helps keep focus on the job at hand rather than on how the helmet feels.
