All you'd have to do is put straps on it, so they tied behind your head for the top 2 corners, & at the waist from straps attached at the bottom corners- just wear as a "vest"- it would be too thick for teeth to penetrate, & pretty good airflow, & not heavy. Most PFDs will be awkward, because they're thicker than you need. And leather would be heavy to wear.

I suppose you could just install some pool noodles in a t-shirt?
lol your dyi attitude is definitely commendable, but I think I am leaning towards the pfd or the leather vest for sure.

These seem pretty durable, and the same style. I like it!
