Petzl Vertex Vent

[Jaarkeal]

Does anyone know where I can get a spare harness for the inside of this lid? A small piece of plastic has broken and I've been told by Lyon that no spares are available due to H and S and end user fixing it. Seems a bit off to me as otherwise we have to replace the whole lid.

Anyone?

Sounds about right, how old is the lid? If it's under warranty get it replaced, if it isn't, but a new lid.

 

Chopping and changing integral parts will void the CE.

The thing is I can take out the harness, wash it and put it back in but am not allowed to buy a new harness and put that in?

It sounds the same model as mine. It got put in the back of the truck one day and came off, it hit the road and several bits got got damaged, the chin strap snap ( the male part ) broke. I had a right game trying to replace it. Buxtons in Staffordshire contacted Petzl direct and they only had two left! I had one and another chap with the same problem had the other. I couldn't believe that's all they had. I only noticed last week a plastic part on the internal head harness is now broken, given the trouble I had last time I think it might be new helmet time! A right wounder, I know, just for bits of plastic. Perhaps that's their plan.

If my hat hit the road I'd be getting a new one the same day! There's a reason mine goes in the van at all times

typical answer I come to expect on here, hence why I barely post. Until we could afford to have a tool cabinet built that's where all our gear went.

It might well be, but what if it got a hairline crack you didn't notice? In my opinion it's better to be safe and replace it.

Believe me, it got a good going over before it went anywhere near my head.

That's fair enough fella, I'm just over cautious when it comes to head protection as I got epilepsy after having a head injury, so I take head protection seriously. I wasn't having a dig at you as the same has happened to me in the past, but that was with the cheap husky lid's so not as much cost involved. I do apologise if I offended
