Riding Apparel

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.
Eye Protection
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. When-
ever 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.
Clothing
Be prepared, be warm and be com-
fortable when riding. Be aware of
the weather forecast, especially the
windchill, and dress accordingly.
See the chart on page 21.

WARNING

Avoid wearing loose clothing or

long scarves, which can become

entangled in moving parts and

cause serious injury. Always wear

an approved helmet and eye pro-

tection.
