When RedDOT Corporation developed the first under-dash UTV air conditioner built specifically for side-by-sides, we brought it to market under the name Offroad Arctic. The product line was all ours, but the name didn’t say so. Now it does.
Offroad Arctic is now RedDOT Powersports, the recreational vehicle climate systems division of RedDOT. The product line—UTV air conditioner, heater kits, Hurricane Roof Fan—is unchanged.
Offroad Arctic Is Now RedDOT Powersports
Bringing the Offroad Arctic identity fully in-house as RedDOT Powersports is a straightforward extension of how we think about our markets: we build the product, we stand behind the product, and the brand should say so.
With the Offroad Arctic brand now fully integrated into RedDOT, we’ve been able to realize efficiencies and pass them on to customers. Effective July 2, 2026, we permanently reduced the price of our UTV air conditioner. Since we own it end-to-end, we’re making it as accessible to as many side-by-side and UTV riders as possible.
Purpose-Built Climate Control for UTVs and Side-by-Sides
RedDOT Powersports sits within RedDOT Recreation, our outdoor and recreational vehicle vertical. It joins a family of climate solutions built for the way people use their vehicles—in real conditions, across every season.
The product line covers the full range of cab climate needs for UTV and side-by-side platforms:
- UTV air conditioner: the industry’s only under-dash system purpose-built for UTV cab environments, with plug-and-play integration on Polaris Ranger, Polaris RZR, and Bobcat models
- Heater kits: in-cab heating for cold-weather operations, compatible with supported UTV platforms
- Hurricane roof fan: 12V low-profile rooftop ventilation designed for integration without modification to vehicle roofline geometry
