Outfitting

Gear

You may want to bulk yourself up with heavy clothing to stop any possible bite attacks. Wouldn't it be a good idea to put as much outer protection on yourself for this exact scenario? No. There are two words that must be your first defense... speed and agility. Any form of armor will accomplish two things: decrease your ability to be fast and agile as just mentioned, and it will drain your energy during prolonged conflicts. Also, people with added protective armor will feel much more confident and consiquently tend to take greater risks than those in regular clothing. This misleading bravery will result in your death. Heavy outer-coating may sound like a good idea, but the best protection from any zombie bite is distance. If, however, you still insist on some form of protective gear, we recommend any Kevlar covers. The lighter, thinner, more flexible ones designed to stop blades and guard dogs are preferable. We also recommend a form of tactical vest with pistol holsters and pouches for spare clips and magazines. In case you really like the specific vest pictured above, it is a "Leapers UTG PVC-V547BT" and can be purchased through this link: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemDetail.aspx?sku=VEST-160

You may also want to wear a gas mask so that any blood splatter won't enter your mouth or eyes, causing you to become infected. There will be no need for it for "gas attacks", however the protection it will offer your face from the spray of zombie blood will be invaluable.

Clothing

If there is any spare time after your initial attack, go to a bathroom or kitchen before the situation gets out of control and chaotic. Cut or buzz your hair, and wear only tight clothes. The Infected have a habit of grabbing and pulling whatever they have towards them to bring it in and bite, this includes loose clothes and long hair. Anything that is tight and easy to move in is ideal. Like mentioned above, bulking up with extra clothes may sound like more protection from bites and other wounds, but this is wrong. More clothes = less speed ad agility. Less speed and agility = death. Also, take off all jewelry you may be wearing and put on a pair of running shoes or anything else light and closed-toed. Boots such as combat boots are also acceptable, especially for long hikes and journeys.
