I have one of these. They are light, and provide a wide area of protection not commonly offered by kevlar flak jackets. Included is the neck band that you can flip up.
Probably just roll with that. If you can bite through that. I'll give you a cookie...

The whole thing is kelvar. Not just front/ rear panels. They are in the shoulders, neck, loop up over the top and double over each other.
My only thoughts are really that the neck area flips up and is held by velcro. I'd want a buckle of some variety before I considered it against a zed grabbing and yanking at me trying to bite my neck. But it does flip up and create a semi-rigid neck covering.
Now these vary in quality by age, but it might be nice to have some bit of ballistic protection in case things are blowing up around you too. There are reports of people shooting them with .45/.40/9mm and it stopping. But I wouldn't stand down range in one to find out. Not without adding pockets in the front and back for real front and rear ceramic plates. But there's room if you were feeling creative to do so.
Just a thought cause they are cheap and useful for more than one purpose.
