For 60 years, Polaris has applied its innovative engineering and passion for snowmobiling to help optimize the riding experience for every Polaris rider.

That tradition continues with product development executed at a newly established Center of Excellence for apparel. As a result, the 2015 Polaris Engineered apparel line features the brand’s most technologically advanced riding gear that will enhance the riding experience for every rider.

The avid riders immersed in product development at the Polaris Apparel Center of Excellence team have created products such as the Adventure Jacket and Bib, which has styling that directly matches the lines of the new snowmobiles, while providing protection and comfort. The Polaris Engineered team has also partnered with premium partners such as GORE-TEX™ to provide the ultimate waterproof/breathable capabilities, 509® to develop the sport’s finest snow goggles, and with FLY Racing® to create helmets that provide protection, comfort and style.

Polaris Engineered Lifestyle Apparel – hoodies, flannels, shirts, caps and more – let Polaris riders wear their pride in their favorite brand with confidence – and cutting-edge style.

Styling cues of the 2015 Polaris snowmobiles are reflected in the styling, colors, graphics and trim of Polaris Engineered apparel, so a RUSH® rider can wear protective, comfortable gear that coordinates with the unique lines of his sled.

Just as Polaris snowmobiles undergo the most demanding testing, so does Polaris outerwear such as jackets, bibs, gloves, boots and goggles. This riding gear is tested by developers logging thousands of miles on Polaris sleds, and through grueling testing in extreme outdoor conditions.

All Polaris Engineered apparel is available through Polaris snowmobile dealers and online 24/7 at http://www.Polaris.com Among. the highlights of the new 2015 Polaris Engineered apparel collection are:

Men’s Pro Jacket and Bib

This is the gear riders want from two names they trust – Polaris and GORE-TEX®. The durable, high-density shells of these jackets and bibs feature GORE-TEX® waterproof/breathable performance. Riders stay dry in all conditions as moisture from snow is kept out, and moisture generated through body heat is evacuated to ensure underlayers remain dry and warm. These uninsulated jackets and bibs feature premium YKK® zippers, adjustable ventilation, adjustable features that ensure a comfortable fit, and versatile pockets positioned right where riders want them. The Men’s Pro GORE-TEX® Jackets are available in black or in red, and a limited edition Keith Curtis jacket features colors and graphics that coordinate with the KC711 collection. The bib is available in black.

Men’s Adventure Jacket and Bib

Riders who log their miles in climates with more extreme cold will appreciate the performance, comfort and warmth of these jackets and bibs, which feature 3M™ Thinsulate® zonal insulation. The bibs are lined with the insulation while the jacket features a versatile 3-in-1 liner that is both removable and can be worn by itself. The GORE-TEX® shells provide riders with the best waterproof/breathable performance available anywhere, and ensure riders will remain dry, warm and comfortable in all conditions. The jacket features adjustable ventilation, conveniently positioned pockets and adjustable features to provide a comfortable fit. The bibs feature premium, full-length YKK® zippers, reflective trim and an integrated boot gaiter and retention strap.

Women’s Throttle Jacket and Bibs

The Women’s Throttle Jacket and Bibs provide great style, a comfortable fit and outstanding weather-resistant protection. These jackets and bibs have a high-density 330D nylon shell and the jacket has a versatile, removable 3-in-1 liner with 3M™ Thinsulate® zonal insulation. The same insulation is featured in the bibs – 180 grams insulation in the bib panels and 100 gram insulation in the seat. The jacket has adjustable ventilation, multiple conveniently placed pockets, and a draw cord-adjustable neck and waist to keep snow out and provide a comfortable fit. The Women’s Throttle jacket is available in black, Glacier, or Coral, and the bibs come in black.

Polaris® Adventure Gloves

Polaris product developers know the top priorities during long days of riding are warm and dry hands and feet. They have developed Polaris Adventure Gloves to ensure riders’ hands remain warm, dry and protected in all riding conditions. The Adventure Gloves Dryzone membrane delivers waterproof/breathable performance while the 200g 3M™ Thinsulate® Insulation ensures long-riding warmth. A leather palm with sure grip technology delivers a great grip on the handlebars, and an adjustable gauntlet closure provides a personalized and comfortable fit.

Polaris Switchback Boot

Polaris product developers call this “the boot that owns winter,” and they have toasty warm feet to prove it. Switchback Boots have articulated ankles and forward flex for outstanding comfort, a durable leather outer and toe cap, Dri-Lex moisture management fabrics to keep feet warm and dry, and 600g of 3M™ Thinsulate® Insulation. Integrated Ice-Lock sole technology provides superior traction and 3M™ Scotchlite Reflective trim enhances visibility.

509® Sinister X5 Goggles

The X5 provides the most advanced protection, comfort and style to ensure outstanding visibility in all riding conditions. The X5 frame was engineered with PHANTOM frame technology that allows the goggle frame to disappear from a rider’s field of view, resulting in a clear vision path with minimal visible frame. The X5 also features an all-new polycarbonate dual lens with greatly improved anti-fog coating and significantly more durable anti-scratch coating. The X5 has a restyled, oversized, removable nose mask to keep a rider warm and comfortable in all riding conditions.

FLY F2® Helmet

The choice of the sport’s best racers, hillclimbers and backcountry riders, the FLY F2® Helmet is engineered and constructed to be remarkably lightweight while providing the ultimate in protection and comfort. The composite shell of aircraft grade woven carbon fiber and Kevlar® combines with a dual-density EPS liner to deliver world-class protection. An advanced ventilation system and removable, washable liner provide tremendous comfort. This helmet is SNELL M2010-, DOT- and ECE-approved.

Polaris® Keith Curtis King Hoodie

With great-looking colors and styling that coordinates with other elements of the Keith Curtis KC711 Collection, this unique hoodie delivers outstanding comfort and winning style. This hoodie features comfortable raglan sleeves, premium YKK® zippers with custom zipper pulls, and the 95% Polyester/5% Spandex fabric features anti-pill and anti-static technology.

Nothing beats this all-cotton, plaid, Polaris-branded flannel for comfort and style. The lightweight brushed flannel features a bio wash for maximum softness, it has a double-turned, clean-finish hem, and it has princess seams throughout for style and durability.
