Need help finding a chestie for someone with no neck.

So I gave in an upgraded my 13+ year old Eddy Custom LT mask to a Bauer NME today. Tried on so many different masks but the NME was the only one that fit good. Picked up a Vaughn VX1 Medium today to replace my old rbk chestie I've had for longer than the mask. Chestie is tucked into the pants with suspenders going over the top of the shoulders to hold it down like I do with my rbk. The problem I'm having is if I turn my head side to side the chin of the NME hits the shoulders so I basically can't turn my head. We've tried everything we can to adjust the chestie but it just isn't going to work out. Arms are a bit to long anyways. I'm going to return it tomorrow but am wondering if anyone can recommend what I should try. Like I said I already tuck the chestie along with using suspenders to hold it down. NME works great with my RBK but I really would like to get more protection as I'm in higher leagues now and they shooter harder/faster than the lower divisions I've been stuck in. Doesn't help that I have a neck like a bulldog so it's not very long.

Thanks!
