Motorcycle gear would work too. in order to get through a heavy leather coat or pants you practically need to use a razor blade or very sharp knife and its lighter than mail or heavy leather. granted you would feel the pressure of a bite but it shouldn't puncture, and some have removable hard armor incorporated. a gorget (gor-je) for neck protection and bracers for your wrists are not bad ideas either. you could even do a demi gauntlet biult onto leather gloves, that will protect your forearm, wrist and hand.
I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. -John Bernard Books
