TEK VEST
I might as well add my experience. We were riding just out side of grand Marais on trail 8 west. We let one of the old guys in our group lead and my buddy and I followed. It snowed the night before about 3 inches of powder so the snow dust was pretty bad. The guy that was leading let off the gas and with out warning was stopped in the middle of the trail. My buddy dove to the left which left me with either hit one of them or try to split 2 metal 4x4 post that was spaced about 5 feet apart. Well this is not so easy at 30 mph with 2 feet of powder. I hit the left post and flew off the sled. I hit the sign post with the middle of my back. Luckily on the way up for that trip we stopped at the sled shed in Gaylord and I bought a Tek-vest. I am fairly convinced that it saved my life or kept me from being paralyzed.

Thank God for your good fortune, and the foresight that told you to buy the TekVest.
I'm glad to hear you could walk away unharmed. I had my close encounter a few years back and I know the TekVest saved me from injury.
