Yeah, so when you can't move and the horde overcomes you... what will you do exactly? 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Until someone sets you on fire...
Until the zeds catch you because it so damn loose you got stuck...
Until a bullet catches you because you couldn't sneak around well in it...

You see where I'm going with this right?

Most of those aren't primary concerns. I'm thinking basic things like sitting down in a vehicle or chair, or even taking a leak without removing twenty pounds of gear...

I tried to refrain from comment, but I can't.

This thing looks like a costume... I'm not impressed.

This should be standard issue for at least mods & admins.

You piss your pants if your wearing that armor I'm guessing because you can't outrun the horde on something that is going to get stuck on a random shrub branch lol

To damn heavy and too damn noisy. Tell you what sport...

You go ahead and wear that and I'll stick to my motor cycle racing gear. I'll ventilate your crainium before taking your boots.

Well, I guess you would need some skill.

The thing is, it's not that noisy. It has metal plates in vulnerable areas, but a lot of it is canvas-like cloth, which a zombie can't bite through.

Also, the attached Katar blade would seriously pawn some zombies. It's a slashing, stabbing, and armor piercing weapon and it is lightning fast. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Have you ever worn armor before? Do you have the core strength to wear it over a long period of time? Those chain links are heavy. And they are noisy. you're going to be a walking dinner bell that just needs to be popped open.

You want something lightweight, that breathes, allows ease of motion and is quiet. I was a LARPer a while ago and trust me, that armor you have is death on a stick.

Admitadly though, once you turn it'll be hell bashing your head in if you still have that helmet on. Guess a little .223 will do the trick.

Interesting. So what happened earlier that forced you off for a while?

I'm not a "LARPer" and wearing armor ain't that bad. I doubt most of you have ever worn any real armor, ever. The only armor I struggle with is plate armor or Samurai armor.

This armor is relatively lightweight compared to many other kinds of heavy armor, plus quiet doesn't count. Zombie will sniff you out.

A GIANT DRAWBACK to this armor, though, is that it is terrible in areas with heat problems. However, I live in a fairly cold area, so I wouldn't have that problem.

Sure, this armor WOULD NOT be worn all the time, if very much at all. It sucks for travel, but is great for clearing out supermarkets and stores. You don't have to wear it for long, and a zombie won't be biting through it.

If anyone wonders what kind it is, it is a variant of a heavy infantry Rajput's armor.

So what you're saying is that you own that particular peice of armor and it is combat tested and you've actually stabbed through simulated skulls with its blade?
