well, polaris wont even put the 6$ one on so........maybe try BRP

Polaris knows most guys that have tethers don't use them so they have decided if you want it just ask your dealer to add it when you buy the sled. Why pay for it if you refuse to use it? This is true about most accessories. Why pay for it if you don't want it?

e.g. handle bar guards, heavy belt guards that have fancy venting, electric start, windshields, snow flaps, etc.

Some of these are very valuable to some and not so much for others.

Now when it comes to a liability issue, I am surprised that the legal department at Polaris has not identified that not installing tethers could set them up for a law suite.

They are starting to outsource more stuff like the other manufacturers are doing now. They sell Super Clamps and glide products from Randall although it took awhile for him to get in the system. I think a lot of his issues were pricing and BRP was as the making enough points to sell them to dealers.

I rode with a tether on one sled, it got caught by a tree branch climbing a hill, and I was really damn stuck. Never used one since then to avoid it happening again.
But this cordless device sounds like a good option and now knowing about it I will look into it more.

Was it connected to your jacket (body) or your wrist like Carl recommends?

Good friend of mine from north battleford..

Brother had his hooked to jacket zipper pull and broke the zipper in a roll over ... Loop around left wrist works well - fewer tangles and easier to use when needed as the lanyard is literally close at hand...
Only caution is when off the sled I take it off my wrist before helping anyone to get unstuck - would not want stray end to get hooked in a spinning track ...

FYI, the majority of the group I ride with are on Ski-doo's and almost all of them run the Phantom.

To my right wrist, not left.

I wear it on my brake hand wrist and that way it never gets tangled on me.

That's how I have worn mine for years.

legal precedent has been set in BC already if your sled has a thether you are liable for damages if not wearing it

So they said a sled dropped 30m into a ravinea after traveling 900m and then kept going? Seems kinda fishy to me.

I hope this video link works to IGTV. Aaron Roesler on a new Ski-Doo 600 G4 with the Phantom Teth-Air. He is on Bret Rasmussen's crew.
