I am looking to buy a couple helmets and pairs of goggles... any opinions on the Polaris helmets/goggles? Should I steer clear of them, or are they a quality product? Thanks for any feedback...

 

Most companies like Polaris have thier accessories made by outside comapanies. For example, the Polaris goggles may be made by Scott, and the helmets are actually MSR or something. I am not sure who makes the Polaris accessories, or it they do it them selves.

But I do know they are quality stuff. I also know you can usually find cheaper priced, but same quality stuff from outside sources such as mail catalogs or on the internet.

 

I totally agree with Lurch77, the polaris accesories like goggles, gloves, helmets, etc. are good quality but are a little pricey. I would maybe go look at some other stuff, thats what I always do. If it means walking into a Hnda shop, it's worth it. When you have a hobby like we do, you only want to spend $ on what you have to, and not waste it. It's expensive as it is!

 

Speaking of that, I left a can of Polaris chain lube out in the rain once. The paper label fell off of it after it got soaked, and you could see that they had spray painted over the original brand information, and put their paper label around the can.
