While UTVs are some of the safest all-terrain vehicles on the market, that doesn’t mean they’re as protected as your average car or truck. While traveling in a UTV is totally safe, to ensure you’re protected in the event of a crash or accident, we strongly recommend investing in the safety accessories listed below.

Riding Gear

While UTVs are technically enclosed, they don’t come with doors, windows, or windshields, leaving riders decently exposed. To ensure you’re protected from flying objects and kicked-up debris while riding in your UTV, you’ll want to invest in some durable riding gear. At a minimum, we recommend investing in a padded set of riding gloves and a helmet approved by the Department of Transportation—preferably with some form of eye protection. 

Customizations 

Want to improve the overall safety of your UTV model? We recommend investing in a few handy customizations! One of the most effective UTV safety accessories on the market is the roll cage, as it not only improves the overall durability of the model but is also extremely effective at protecting riders in the event of a crash. Seat harnesses are also a helpful upgrade, and are one of the most effective accessories for protecting smaller riders or younger passengers.
