So we all know we need to be protected against zombie bites. I'd like to hear your opinions. Here's some of mine. Go ahead and list some pros and cons, as well as additional items. Comment about anything by creating a thread. And please put anything you add in alphabetical order.
Military Camo:
Description:
A camouflage suit usually worn by the military.

Pros:
Relatively tough material for general applications, excellent weather protection (dump that trench coat, get some cammies), and can aid escape and evasion if environment-appropriate schemes are selected.

Cons:
Some fluids can penetrate the material, and not that hard to bite through nor tear in hand-to-hand combat (especially armed h/h combat).

Full Custom Leather Suit:
Description:
A full armor made of leather.

Pros:
Bite proof, fluid proof, almost stab proof.
Flexible.

Cons:
Hot, heavy, binds movement.
Hard to get, expensive to make.










----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flak Jacket:
Description:
Pretty much a bulletproof vest.

Pros:
Can take a speeding bullet, as well as decaying teeth.

Cons:
Only protects upper body and torso.








----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shark Suit:
Description:
A chain mail suit that scuba divers wear to protect against shark bites.

Pros:
Bite proof.
Flexible, slice proof, can be used with a wet suit, skin tight.

Cons:
Fluids can penetrate.
Noisy, if chain links are big enough.












----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAZMAT Suit:
Description:
A physically unprotected suit that is meant to protect against chemical and biological threats.

Pros:
Fluid proof, good for moving zombie corpses, good to use under armor (depending on suit).

Cons:
Can be bit through.
Hinders movement.











----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragonskin:
Description:
A swat team uniform with a good neck protection and doesn't limit visibility. http://www.securityprousa.com/. This site has government issue personal protection for sale.

Pros:
Can stop a speeding bullet, looks bad-ass, bite proof.
Can take a grenade blast without being penetrated.

Cons:
Hard to get, inadequately covers the body, large gaps in the armor that knives and other simple, skin-job weapons can get through, causing injury and possibly death.




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Load Bearing Equipment (LBE):
Pros: Easy to get, fairly cheap, allows for easy carrying of all needed equipment.

Cons: Most LBE's on the market right now use nylon web straps to allow for a perfect fit. The problem is that these straps make for perfect handles for the undead and also tend to get snagged on things. The pockets are designed with maximum capacity in mind instead of user comfort, so they get in way and hinder movement. Pockets are usually closed with velcro which makes way too much noise! Also you need to install your own quick release straps so you can drop the extra weight in a hurry if you need to move or if you get snagged while being chased.

motocross armor/pants:

pros: easy to obtain, might be bite proof, covers some of your neck, if made of nylon can be pretty fluidproof, looks badass, armor can aid in hand to hand combat. also the pants allow free movement

cons: armor may restrict movement, hot, heavy, wont protect from stabs.



Wet Suit:
Description:
edit: not water proof it traps a layer of water betwine you and the suit your body heats it up and thats what keeps you warm
(if you want to stay dry get a dry suit. trylam is the best)
edited by ww3sabiture a certified scuba diver if you post stuff get your facts rite! and re-edit your info who ever posted this

Pros:
Waterproof, fluid-proof, protects against heat or cold (depending on the suit), easy to put on/take off, flexible, durable, will not snag, can be used with shark suit, skin tight.

Cons:
Probably not very bite proof, and because they were designed for use underwater, they are water tight as long as they are not torn or cut, This means they HOLD IN moisture (sweat), holding in heat, and therefore degrading badly they wearer's ability to move.
