SAFETY
Safe Riding Gear
Always wear clothing suited to the type of riding. ATV riding requires
special protective clothing for comfort and to reduce the chance of
injury.
1. Helmet
Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head
injury. Whenever riding a Polaris vehicle,
always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds
established safety standards.
Approved helmets in the USA and Canada
bear a U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) label.
Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and
Oceania bear the ECE 22.05 label.
The ECE mark consists of
a circle surrounding the
letter E, followed by the
distinguishing number of
the country which has
granted approval. The
approval number and serial
number will also be
displayed on the label.
2. Eye Protection
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection.
Whenever riding a Polaris vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or
use a shatterproof helmet face shield. Polaris recommends wearing
approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such
as VESC 8, V--8, Z87.1, or CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept
clean.
3. Gloves
Off-road style gloves with knuckle pads are the best for comfort and
protection.
4. Boots
The best footwear is a pair of sturdy over-the-calf boots with low heels.
5. Clothing
Always wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs.
Riding pants with kneepads and a jersey with shoulder pads provide
the best protection.
