There is a substance being manufactured by an athletics company. This substance is known simply as d3o. "This lightweight material is very flexible and malleable, until subjected to abrupt force, making it useful in protective clothing in situations where the wearer may be exposed to blunt trauma" (Wikipedia). Do you think a full body suit would provide adequate protection from zombie bites? While I agree that turnout gear would be more than adequate to protect from zombie bites, I feel that it might be a little too hot and heavy. I've worn some before, and personally, I don't feel that it offers sufficient maneuverability that might be needed.

It looks like it would be ineffective against slow moving objects like a knife or a bite. They talk about impact resistance, so a slow force would not active the stiffening.
