Product Information
Full details
The Stealth V159 Flip-Up Helmet is designed for adult riders seeking a safe, comfortable, and versatile helmet without breaking the bank. Its key benefit is the P & J rated flip-front design, allowing for open or closed-face riding, coupled with an integrated sun visor for convenience. A potential caveat is the ABS shell construction, which, while compliant with safety standards, may offer less advanced impact absorption compared to premium composite materials. This helmet features an ABS shell with EPS foam, a flip-front mechanism with an internal sun visor, a removable and washable hypoallergenic liner, and a micro-metric quick-release retention system, all certified to ECE 22.06 standards.

FAQs
Is the Stealth V159 helmet legal for use in all countries?
The helmet is ECE 22.06 certified, which is a widely recognized safety standard, particularly in Europe. Always check local regulations for specific helmet requirements in your region.
Can I replace the main visor?
Yes, typically the main visor can be replaced. Consult your product manual or contact Stealth customer support for specific instructions and part numbers for replacement visors.
How often should I wash the helmet liner?
It is recommended to wash the liner periodically, especially after long rides or if it becomes saturated with sweat. A general guideline is every few months, or whenever it appears dirty or smells. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
What is the difference between P and J ratings?
A 'P' rating signifies the helmet is approved as a full-face helmet, while a 'J' rating means it is approved as an open-face helmet. The V159's P & J rating means it is certified safe for use in both configurations (chin bar up or down).
Is the internal sun visor tinted?
Yes, the internal sun visor is tinted to provide protection against sun glare.
What materials is the helmet shell made from?
The helmet shell is constructed from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene).
Does this helmet come with a anti-fog visor?
The product description does not specify an anti-fog treatment for the main visor. It is recommended to use anti-fog sprays or inserts if fogging is a concern.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too tight or too loose
Check if you have selected the correct size. Consult the sizing chart and consider trying a different size if available. Ensure the liner is correctly seated.
Internal sun visor is difficult to deploy or retract
Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of debris. Gently operate the lever; do not force it. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Chin strap buckle is difficult to operate
Ensure the buckle is clean and free of dirt or grime. Try operating it with dry hands first. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant might help, but avoid excessive application.
Liner does not fit correctly after washing
Ensure the liner is completely dry and has not shrunk. Reinsert it carefully, aligning all snap points and channels. Allow it to fully air dry before attempting reinsertion if still damp.
