Polaris accessories 2013

My personal riding preference is long distance touring. I like to be well prepared with fresh clothes throughout my trip and for unexpected events which may require tools, pieces parts and emergency supplies that I always carry, seldom use and pray that I will never need.

When purchasing a new sled, available luggage/storage accessories are of high interest to me.  I find that most strapped on baggage systems are not up to the challenges of extended trail life. They fray, tear, break, leak and have straps that are difficult to manipulate when frozen. I want a bag able to withstand rough conditions, aggressive pace or a trail misadventure without self destructing.  An integrated “STORAGE SYSTEM” that’s what I want !!!! I believe that I am not alone in the desire for durable, well planned, high function storage.  This is the basis for a tip of my cap to several Polaris Cargo/Storage accessories for 2013.

The Pro-Ride™ defrost bag is an integrated windshield storage system. This multi compartment, water resistant, light item storage accessory offers 464 cu. in. of engine warmed storage. The storage unit has an external aluminum support structure which also repositions instrumentation for better visibility. Fits all Rush, Switchback and RMK models $119.99 US 129,99 CAN


The Aluminum Cargo Rack with storage basket insert mounts to the rear of all Switchback models. This rack is light, strong and is specifically designed to securely accept Polaris’ patented Lock & Ride® accessories. $199.99 US, $239,99 CAN.


The Lock & Ride® Cargo Rack Saddle Bags are durable injection molded polyester containers with removable cargo bag interior liners. The units install or uninstall to the sides of the cargo rack (without tools) in seconds and provide a combined 1.1 cu. ft. of weather resistant storage. They are not cheap, but they are convenient, rugged, secure and spacious. $199.99 US, $239,99 CAN


The Lock & Ride® Water-Resistant Rear Rack Bag is a compression molded storage unit which securely mounts in seconds to the storage basket of the cargo rack. The bag is a semi rigid design with a zippered closure, an expansion panel allowing 880 cu. in. of total capacity and a grab handle for easy transport. $79.99 US, $99,99 CAN.


The Burandt Lock & Ride® tunnel bag was designed by back Country expert Chris Burandt and OGIO®. This very durable unit installs in seconds without tools with Lock & Ride® quarter turn fittings into the tunnel T slots of current Polaris RMK and Assault models. A huge 2,500 cu. in. capacity includes protected padded space, a waterproof section and integrated back pack straps for easy transport. $199.99 US, $219,99 CAN.


Happy trails and travels, with well planned, durable and secure cargo options from Polaris.

Greg Gilbert

Greg's first snowmobile experience was in 1968 when his Grandfather purchased a new Ski-doo Nordic 371 package including dog sled as a surprise family gift. “Grampy” thought that the Gilbert's would enjoy the new sport of snowmobiling and he was right. Since that first ride as an 8-year-old, snowmobiling has provided Greg with one of the greatest pleasures of his life. The experiences, excitement, adrenaline, adventures, freedom, memories and friendships have relaxed and rejuvenated him throughout his life. From 1985 – 1996 Greg was an active member of the “Arrowhead Mountain Snowmobile Club” in his hometown of Milton Vermont, holding positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, trail coordinator and membership chairman. Greg has also been involved in all aspects of trail construction and grooming as well as regional and statewide involvement. Greg has ridden over 130,000 miles throughout Vermont, Maine and all regions of Quebec. His riding experiences have been predominantly throughout Quebec since his first introduction in 1984 averaging 4000-5000 Quebec miles over the past 25+ years. Throughout 35 years of Quebec snowmobiling Greg has had positive interactions with many members of various groups and organizations. Greg is often in a unique position of being a comfortable, non-threatening bridge to better mutual understanding and communication of how we can work together to strengthen and protect our sport. Over the years Greg became well known throughout Quebec as “Greg du Vermont”, before joining the SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca team in 2012 as a Columnist / Test Rider. Greg has written over 100 articles for SledMagazine.com / Motoneiges.ca, attended manufacturers Snow Shoot and Sneak Peek media events beginning in 2012 and is frequently seen at snowmobile events in both the US and Canada. Greg brings a unique personal perspective and style to his articles and has been a positive ambassador of snowmobiling for over 35 years. He is known throughout his hometown as the guy who thinks and talks about winter all summer long.
