Hello Tekrider,

I would like to thank you for making an awesome safety product that saved my life. I have a snowmobile repair and accessories business in Michigan . About 4 to 5 years ago I purchased a Sport Tekvest from one of my distributors. I’ve been riding for 15 years and usually ride between 2000 and 3000 miles a year so I felt that your vest would be a great safety item to have. Unfortunately, on January 31st, 2004, I was involved in an accident. I was thrown from my sled while trail riding and sustained multiple breaks in my left shoulder, a broken humorous, five broken ribs, a punctured lung and other injuries.

The trauma team doctors told me that if I had not been wearing the Tekvest, which absorbed a lot of the impact, I would not have made it. 

I just wanted thank you for providing our sport with this great piece of safety equipment. I will highly recommend this to everyone. When I was air lifted to the hospital, they had to cut off all my riding gear, including my Tekvest, before they could work on me. If I ship the Tekvest to you can you take a look at it and see if can be repaired. I can send pictures if you would like to see them first.

Thanks again,

Brian Walla
