Get the full body one from Skidoo. Protects good and lots of color choices

Full body one on 850 doesn't pack too much with snow/ice and affect steering like older ones on XP/XM?

Check out Rpm composites best protection including the chaincase and brake, bolts on and comes in one box but 3 pieces. Raffi is great to deal with. The construction is very durable not plastic. The design and fit doesn't allow much snow retention. I have one on my 17.JMO.

I bought a new Doo as well this year. I was going to get the smaller skid plate. Doesn't the larger one hold a bunch of snow. It sure used to unless something has changed.

It can hold snow but has better protection than the extreme one does. I put one on for protection only. Snow doesn't bother me unless its that heavy concrete crap when it rains imo.

How hard to install?

Easy to install the skid plate but the pain is you have to pull the hood assy off and the exhaust.

I was surprised how little the full body skid plate retained for snow last year

Another positive vote for the full body BRP skid plate. I would think that if a guy is parking outside at night, it would be a good idea to clear the tie-rods so that if there is any snow in there it won't be a frozen block in the morning. Our sleds are always parked inside while at home and therefore no problem. When we travel, it is to warm places like Squamish, Sicamous, etc. and if there is snow in there it just melts.

Put a full body skid plate. Good to go. Put the sled on its side, much easier. All holes are marked.
