It would be fair protection. It's not really rigid enough to offer sound bite protection, but it's far better than nothing, If anything i'd suggest wearing a sweat shirt underneath.

might not be that bad, assuming the weather is cool enough for you to wear it, and it is big enough for you to move freely. i really think mobility is key, here. if you get to the point that you are 100% bite-proof, then you are going to be so slow that you probably will be brought down by a mob. i would say a moderate degree of protection is a good thing, but for the most part if they have you in a position to bite, you are already screwed. if you want an example of how hard it is to catch something that doesn't want to be held, try to grab a strange cat and bite it:) (um...actually don't. probably not a good idea). but the point is, it is hard to grab ahold of someone/something that doesn't want to get grabbed. if a zed tries to grab you, you will probably get away. as for groups of them? AVOID GROUPS OF ZOMBIES:) Do you find this valuable? |

"if you want an example of how hard it is to catch something that doesn't want to be held, try to grab a strange cat and bite it:) (um...actually don't. probably not a good idea)."Haha! That would be provide pretty good protection! I myself wouldn't be wearing any such thing! As I live in Australia, it is pretty damn hot. I am going for mobility>protection. I don't even plan on getting anywhere near a zombie unless I truly have to. Do you find this valuable? |

If/when SHTF, you coils think about cutting that jacket up. I would use just the sleeves, as my arms are most likely to be what gets near a zombie, and leather sleeves could provide armour without being too heavy. Having pre-made sleeves on a jacket is a good idea, as my original plan involved winding leather strips around my forearms, but a jacket seems so much easier.
