Polaris’ cell phone charging handle bar bag. Last year we put this accessory to a successful test. This bag could easily be adapted for use on any brand, just put a sticker over the small Polaris marking. Here is a short excerpt from our “Polaris Indy XC 850 year in review” article.
I take my SledMagazine.com photos like most snowmobilers, with my phone. Just like you, my photos are not professional , they are only occasional and on the fly. As a result my phone needs to be always ready. The USB bag ($129.99 US) kept my phone charged and warm enough to perform whenever. I miss a lot of fantastic photos because I’m a rider first and foremost, but I never missed a shot because my phone wasn’t ready.
