FAQs
What does P & J rating mean for this helmet?
The P & J rating means the helmet is certified for use both with the chin bar down (P for protection) and up (J for jet/open-face) while riding. This allows for legal and safe riding in either configuration.
How do I clean the hypoallergenic liner?
The liner is removable. Gently hand wash it in cold water with mild soap and allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash/dry.
Is this helmet suitable for high-speed riding?
The Stealth V159 is ECE 22.06 approved, meeting current safety standards for motorcycle helmets. While it provides a good level of protection, riders engaging in high-speed track use may prefer helmets specifically designed for those conditions.
Can I replace the main visor?
Replacement visors are typically available for this model. Please refer to the product manual or contact customer support for information on ordering replacement parts.
What is the warranty period for the Stealth V159 helmet?
Warranty information can vary. Please check the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for details on the warranty period and terms.
How effective is the internal sun visor?
The internal sun visor is designed to reduce glare from the sun. Its coverage and effectiveness can vary depending on the rider's facial structure and riding position.
Troubleshooting
Flip-front mechanism is stiff or won't open/close smoothly
Ensure there are no obstructions around the mechanism. Clean the area gently and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant designed for plastics if needed. Check that the chin bar is fully aligned before attempting to close.
Internal sun visor is difficult to deploy or retract
Check for any debris or obstructions along the visor's track. Operate the slider mechanism slowly and deliberately. If the issue persists, consult the manual or manufacturer support.
Helmet feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the sizing guide to confirm you have the correct size. The removable liner can be replaced with thicker or thinner versions (if available) for fine-tuning the fit. Ensure the retention system is properly adjusted.
Liner feels itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure the liner is clean and completely dry. If irritation persists, it may be a material sensitivity. Consider if the helmet size is correct, as a poor fit can cause pressure points.
