SAFETY

Safe Riding Gear

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.
Gloves

Off-road style gloves with knuckle pads are the best for comfort and
protection.
Boots

The best footwear is a pair of sturdy over-the-calf boots with low heels.
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.
