The best way I find is to pick it up over your head with your right hand supporting it
inside the shoulder plates.
it will lean to the left, opening it enough to push your left arm through the left aperture,
then as this is going on, allow the right hand to slide on through.
reduces scrapes, but doesn't totally eliminate them, unless extremely careful!
Still need to ensure back plates inter-lap properly, so it requires a bit of care and practice.
Best way is to get help, as they would have done.
