Body Protection

[mattifikation]

What would you wear? How would you protect yourself from being bitten?

There's about a million different strategies you could undertake when chosing your z-day survival outfit. Let's hear yours!

[Devilspaintbrush]

Chain mail would work very well IMHO

not overly heavy and covers most everything while still being flexible


OR

A heavy wetsuit would also be a option...no idea on how tuff they are

[Dagnammit]

The Ursus bear suit. Defensive padded armour designed for humans as a protection against grizzly and polar bears.



It may be heavy, bulky and hot, but the zombies would never, EVER get through it.

I have a full body wetsuit waiting for me to throw on at first word of an outbreak. It's very light weight and tight, so there's no loose pieces for a zed to grab onto. Plus the material is kinda thick and tough so the zed won't be able to bite through it, atleast not very easily. Haven't you guys read Twilight of the Dead? It's the ultimate zed gear.


Other than that I would also wear leather gloves, or kevlar gloves, and really thick, yet comfortable boots.

[Zombreach]

Yeah, boots are a must! Have to watch out for those ankle biters. Outside of that, I would wear a leather jacket and pants, over regular clothes, and leather gloves.

What about in the summer time? You will burn up in a leather jacket all summer.


I guess we will all be miserable regardless of what we are wearing, though.

Body protection against zombies?
A composite quantum powered lightweight power armour with a forcefield and an infinite storage.

But to be serious, Riot Gear/Full body kevlar covers. You can get them if you are in US (Source: Friends) but i dont know about the rest of the world e.g: UK. I'll edit this post when i am sure.

I don't think a wetsuit would be any cooler! But you are right, especially where I live. But a bathing suit just won't cut it. We'd just have to deal with being hot or go out without much protection. I for one will not give up the boots though!!!

I agree with this. I own a leather jacket, it seems like it would be impossible for someone/thing to bite through, but at the same time its hot and heavy and makes movement a bit more restricted. Since its getting warmer I'd put on a pair of khaki cargo pants and a regular black tshirt and a pair of hiking boots. Put on a backpack and find some type of weapon (I'm currently gunless but that will change once the stimulus package goes into effect) and head out. All the armor in the world will mean crap if you cant outrun your enemy.

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

I bet it would be a bit warm to wear a wetsuit considering most are black and dont breath well. I suppose you could keep it wet all the time????

When it comes to being comfortable and east to move in, it would be like a second skin. The next best thing to being naked but still dressed

Here, here...

That is definitely the zombie gear I'd be wearing.

We could cover ourselves in oil. The zombies wouldn't be able to get a hold of us then! (not to mention the fantastic overall tan)---I know the greased pig set loose in my school by the seniors was a real bugger to catch!!!!

I can already see a bunch of greased naked people running around zombies! It would be like Family Guy's "Catch the Greased Deaf Guy"!

The only leather thing I have is a worn out leather jacket in my closet, but not only would that hold in heat and induce dehydration, but I can also imagine a zombie biting my elbow or hand very easily! I would probably just wear my basic clothes and my denim jacket (but mostly because of it's style) when zombies are about.


If we're talking about zombie protection, why not full leather gimp suits? I know that sounds dumb, but it's sort of a combo of the 2 most popular choices here! Plus a lot of them have chains attatched that can be used as weapons.

wow thats a funny image. greasy people running from zeds and most likely falling to the ground in puddles of oil.

BTW what about police dog sleaves and pants you know the stuff they use to train the dogs.
