what about a hockey goalie padded shirt? I've seen them range from $30-100
They have strategic padding on the arms/chest and lots of varieties (if too hot, you could cut off the sleeves?) and the padding is probably thick enough to give a buffer from an ETB fang. Retics generally slash, not puncture.
I've had an ATB swing down and bite my hip, went through 3 layers of fabric (including denim) and slightly puncture the skin so while I do think it is unlikely you would get an implant puncture from a chest bite from an ETB, I totally understand wanting to be cautious, cause if everything lines up just perfectly, that could be terrible.
