There are some types of wet suits for marine biologists that have a certain level of protection from fish/small sharks/sting ray/jelly fish... that might offer some level of protection as a base layer.

How bout a good pair of boots, some "cut proof" or whatever they are claimed to be, "tactical pants", decent long sleeve shirt, leather jacket, hat? Maybe fashion some sort of neck protector, hardened knuckle gloves and there you go..
just remember to pack some under armor in your B.o.B.

That RIOT gear looks pretty cool actually. I'd stick with my biker leather stuff though. Anything to run around in assless chaps. lmao
