I am writing to advise of my great experience with your company's products and in fact to congratulate and thank your team for developing such a fine line of products, which I have used extensively in my day to day work and my weekend recreation.

With snowmobiles being the principle focus of my life I've had ample opportunities to evaluate riding gear. With frequent offs being a part of my early racing days, out of necessity, I became an early adopter of the
initial versions of body armor. I started with hockey pads and shin guards and have continually moved up the ladder as products like the Saf-Jac and ultimately the Tekvest developed.

Immediately from the fit and feel of your Super Sport Tekvest version, I could tell that none of the earlier product's nagging comfort or fit problems were overlooked or forgotten. I not only had the essential elements
of protection I needed, I had them with the fit, comfort  and appearance I'd been seeking for years. It is so comfortable to wear that I would never think of leaving it off whether I'm out testing, bombing around, or on a
casual trail ride.  It's exactly like wearing my helmet, I can't leave home without it.

I'd like it to be otherwise but over that time I've had plenty of opportunities to evaluate its effectiveness in low, medium and hi-speed get offs. Now after 10 years of use and nearly 65,000 aggressive miles in the
development of the Blade snowmobile, M-10, and AIR-WAVE suspensions, I have sent this one back in for your evaluation (and a new zipper). I just want you to know, I am fully aware of how lucky I have been to own it.

Keep up the Great Work,
