    Is this a common occurrence for you?

    Did a doctor suggest this?

    I am just trying to wrap my head around it. I have been bit once on the stomach and of course many times on the hands and arms......but never my chest.


    I wouldn't waste money on kevlar though. Kevlar actually needs many many layers to be stab resistant. The layers they put in most jackets and pants I would not expect to stop the teeth of a ETB as it is there for sliding down a road....not needle like teeth. A good thick leather alone should stop them though. Adding a kevlar lining to it will just make it cost more for no more protection.

    I would simply buy a leather motorcycle jacket. Not one that is perforated of course. I have kevlar vest for work and leather motorcycle jackets for riding. With the list of snakes you have I don't see any getting through any of my leather jackets.
