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.
