Here's a couple links to my suggestions for armor. Chainmail leather armor I particularly like this design due to the neck protection. I borrowed these pics from different sources and give full credit to the providers. I simply used these pics to portray my ideas.

Ive read all the posts here, and one thing I can agree on is the chance of a biological epidemic. With as much time and money the U.S. Government has spent on biological weapons (when Nixon ended the program in 1961 the budget was $300 million annually) there is a theoretical chance of an outbreak or controlled testing. I have read some of the Zombie Survival Guide book and the prominent idea is to simply hole up and avoid any/all zombie contact all together, but should the day come that one comes in contact with a biologically enhanced sub-creature its safe to say some precautions should be taken. As far as safe guarding yourself against an unanticipated zombie encounter I have a few questions and suggestions. I’ve worked as a leather smith for a few years and have studied leather armors. I’ve wondered why wearing a lightweight chainmail under a medium weight leather isn’t mentioned. Simply wearing a chainmail top to cover the torso with leather armor over key areas of the body would suffice and be lightweight enough to protect in close combat and provide the wearer freedom of movement. Please give me your feedback as far as leather armor protection. Thanks.

How long does it take for zombies to deteriorate? My group and I would just find a good building, probably one in a rural area, that had three or more floors above ground, and check it out. If it was safe, we would block all the entrances except for fire exits, knock out the first floors stairs, and stockpile everything we had on the second to top floor. We would have a greenhouse on the roof, and grow the other foods we would need. Then, we would go out on occasional searches, leaving some of us behind to defend the main building, making sure everyone stayed close. we would rig up a ladder to send up the food, and have a signal to send to the group that stayed behind.

@ Chester: Good ideas, more or less!
@ Tyler Moore: While I agree with just about ever thing you say, we also need to keep in mind that Max Brook’s zombies may not be the one we’re facing, what with the government labs developing biological weapons. They could modify mad cow, for example, and blood would still flow freely through the zombies’ veins. Also, when doing battle, being surrounded is never good, but if you’re in a truck being chased, melee weapons (like crow bars, pick axes, and hedge clippers can be effective if you have taken the time beforehand to practice with them :) Otherwise, I’m taking a lot of your advice into account
@yukaze: clear out an underground and destroy the entrances (a good place is a univeristy: play loud music from speakers in a truck to clear most of them (let them chase the vehicle to somewhere else) then clear the rest out manually and then seal up most of the entrances. Then, spread looter trash just everywhere, maybe throw a few broken guns in the yard. Make it look abandoned.
@Victor Konker: astute point, thank you.

Uh bullcrap slim chance of getting zombie blood in ur mouth. When i was 14 me and my brother were home alone and the dogs were barking like crazy. So we went out to see what it was all the guns were locked up in my parents room so i grabbed a baseball bat it was a rabid coon i blasted it in the head 4 times before it died when i got inside i looked in the mirror and i had blood splatter all over my face and tasted some in my mouth i had to get shots and tested for rabes not fun at all my guess for a good zombie weapon would be a simple shotgun with large rounds if need be and u have to hit them up close for the love of god turn ur head right before you connect to keep from getting most of the blood spray away from ur mouth and face also it makes me crazy when i hear people talking about grenade launchers and machine guns unless ur a special collector ur not gonna have one so keep it simple with a shotgun as many rounds u can carry on a amo belt and some kind of blunt object or blade a machette would work perfect for a clean cut forget the body armor to much work and to much money u need to kill the bastards not impress them with ur fashion about the only thing i would recomend is something to protect yours eyes and face period.

My helmet offers up to level IIIA protection. It stops rounds. I also have a ballistic face mask. Together they cover the head and face entirely. Ballistic neck guards are also available. The stab/slash proof protectors are even cheaper. As for arm and chest armor I have a vanson kevlar mesh riding jacket with hard armor. ZOMBIES were once human remember? And rapidly decaying to boot. So anything you’d want to field against human attackers (especially multiple attackers i.e.riot suit) would be a good choice. Complete that with tall boots and kevlar riding pants and youre ready to go. These garments are light, breathable, and flexible. Ive lived in these things for days at a time at bike shows in high summer. For weapons I already own the Kriss cbr/so with 16″ barrel, collapsible stock, surefire E1b with momentary switch, laser sight, and 30 rd mags. Glock 21 for a side arm. The Kriss uses Glock 21 mags and both are chambered in .45. Bring it! My B.O.B. is ready to go. lol

me and my team (8 of my best friend and family) would have some modified Damascus Gear FlexForce riot gear on hand, they are made to stop blunt force and stabs. any one in good physical shape can run a ways out of trouble with them. and yukikaze and Grimmm both the g11 and Spas- 12 are illegal to own now in the us, and they are both out of production so it would be hard to smuggle it in. i would go a Beretta 92FS pistol, a Beretta Cx4 Storm carbine, and a ruger 556 assault rifle with red dot sight. but thats just me…
