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.
Gloves
Off-road style gloves with knuckle pads are the best for comfort and protection.
Boots
The best footwear is a pair of strong over-the-calf boots with low heels.
Clothing
Always wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs. Riding pants with knee-
pads and a jersey with shoulder pads provide the best protection.
