2014 Polaris Snowmobile Apparel and Accessories Deliver the Ultimate in Comfort, Protection, Convenience & Style

Polaris has developed its 2014 snowmobile apparel and accessories collections based on input from passionate recreational riders and high-performance professionals such as backcountry master Chris Burandt and world champion hillclimber Keith Curtis. A strong year of product development involving these two extreme riders has resulted in further expansion of the Chris Burandt signature accessories collection, and in the introduction of the new Keith Curtis signature apparel collection for 2014.

Along with the new Burandt accessories, other new items available for Polaris snowmobiles are a Lock & Ride^® Convertible Passenger Seat for the expanded lineup of 2014 Adventure models, durable new sled covers, convenient new cargo bags, new sled protection and more.

The new Keith Curtis KC711 Collection is among the highlights of the 2014 Polaris snowmobile apparel. In addition, riders will find more choices in riding gear than ever, with jackets, bibs and gloves to suit every type of rider in every winter climate.

Polaris also has a large new collection of sportswear, layering apparel (tops and bottoms), stylish ballcaps and beanies, and warm, comfortable outdoor gear for young riders.

The Burandt RSI^® 5" Rise RMK Handlebar is the same handlebar setup Chris uses on his backcountry sleds. This handlebar is narrower and has a 5" rise – 2" lower than the standard deep snow bar. It provides riders like Chris with a comfortable riding position, lower center of gravity and confidence-inspiring steering leverage. This is a super-strong 2014 heat-treated aircraft aluminum bar that has been tested by, and is trusted by the world’s premier backcountry rider.
