Need Snake Bite Proof Jacket

[wnateg]

Hello!

It's become necessary for me to not get bitten on the chest AT ALL. Does anyone know of a jacket that is 100% resistant to snake bites? Seriously, it cannot pierce.

Thank you!

Is this serious

Good leather always protects me. You probably need Kevlar if you want no chance of it being pierced at all by any snake of any size.

Suit of armor, perhaps?

Have you tried asking suppliers like Midwest Custom tongs? They might know of something? (https://tongs.com/custom-products/)

I am serious, unfortunately.

Haha I'm considering all possibilities.

Thank you, I just sent them a message.

Might also check the advertisers on venomous forums.

Pardon my curiosity, but what are you trying to cuddle or swim with?

Well the kevlar was serious. You can get knife proof vests. https://www.google.com/search?q=kevl...client=gws-wiz

The leather might work too it it was boiled leather. but that would be a reenactment thing. You would need battle ready and not display though.
Plate armor is probably over the top.

What ever you go for it will probably cost.

You say its just your chest that needs protecting?

Nothing near that exciting. Breast implants

Yea, I did see those. Kevlar would definitely work, though it may be slightly overkill. Like you said, I think some real thick leather would do the trick, maybe. I was thinking like a leather apron, so I still have arm mobility.

You could try something like a blacksmith's apron. A little pricey but it's good leather. Here's an example.

Oh, yeah...that never occurred to me. I keep hearing about heavy rain & flood waters down south & in TX- I thought maybe you're swimming with diamondbacks in your house?

If you don't mind the bulk, a PFD (personal flotation device) with good coverage would probably serve the purpose, at least until you find a more flattering option. Handy for floods too.

An apron may be too thin unless you can get one thick enough. Bison leather is real thick I have one jacket of that but its heavy. but I guess you will research.
Another idea might be a leather jacket with removable arms. (or even a motorbike jacket with removable arms, they are padded too) I have one I use to protect me from falls horse riding (I cant be using the horse riding armour. that's a bit embarrassing as only kids use it in the uk). I don't know if detachable sleeves is still available though. it was the fashion back in the day.
Oh, wait, it is

Edit, yes just saw the Hugsplox blacksmiths apron post, that looks a good idea.
Not as cool as a leather jacket though
