So, what are you wearing? ;)

[RpTheHotrod 1]

...wearing in the zombie apocalypse, of course! DayZ is a great idea overall and a creative mindset outlet. Anyone out there have some actual "DayZ" gear in the real world? If not, what would it be, and why? Would you prefer lightweight gear for maximum agility? Extra protection? Traveler, or fighter?

Here's my zombie fighting setup

Surprisingly enough, it's actually pretty easy to move around and doesn't weigh me down much. I've walked around for 8 hours straight and never felt any weight strain, at all.

Coat to keep warm...check.

Full body protection...check.

Face mask to keep infected blood away...check.

[stupar123 6]

Huh? ... I just want soldier camo in day Z....

[jukaga 271]

You should go do some of that STALKER larping they do in the Ukraine, you'd fit right in.

[lvg 1690]

I'm wearing. Cool ass gear though

I'm wearing

Oh man, that brings back nightmares... >_<

[septuscap 42]

I'd probably wear something bite resistant. And with peripheral vision.

I would exactly use this gear:

That's actually a super-shitty setup. Sure it's uber "tacticool" and such, but this isn't an all out war, it's survival.

What you want is uberpractical and super indiscreet.

For example, just like in Dayz, a real zombie apocalypse is going to cause a lot of unrest. Other people are going to be your biggest threat.

In Dayz, if you're wearing civilian clothes with a patrol pack and a winchester you're not going to be an unusually large target. However, if you're wearing a ghille suit with a silenced weapon, you're going to have an immediate target over your head. Same idea in real life.

Well i would wear my Hardball gear. Because it would make me look threatning and other people would be scared of me or seek help at me because i would look like autohrity. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/715/26301920725022487446644.jpg/

Tactical can be an issue, I agree, because in an apocalyptic setting, you're scrounging up whatever you could possibly find. Sure, there is "optimal", like you are saying, but optimal is not what you'll be finding. The outfit up there is put together to be very makeshift and worn and used up, as if everything was found and scavenged. Notice all the rust, wear, and tear. Nothing is new and shiny. If you survived an apocalypse, you'd find anything you could to survive.

If you're wearing civilian clothing, one bite or scratch and you're pretty much screwed. If you have some gear on, even having a group of zombies on you, you'd have a chance at fighting them off. They wouldn't be too bright. My outfit there is rawhide. Really rough stuff.

Well thank you :) It also cost me more than a 1000 euros :/ And it is bite resistant! :D (checked myself) And the vest is knife proof ( don't know the accurate word for like. (like bullet proof but with knifes)

I don't think you'd be doing yourself a favor dressing as a civvy in DayZ or IRL.

Not only are you zombie food, you're easier to SPOT, and I don't think your "friendly" clothing will save you from a bandit.

That said, /agree that OP's gear (wile cool looking) would be shit.

You probably aren't trying that hard. If you want to actually test it, have a wild animal bite you.

I don't know where you get your civilian clothing from. You can get civilian clothing that's just as durable as military grade without all the flashiness. Also, body armor underneath your top layer.

Theres a big difference between a wild animal and a human. The teeths in a wild meat eating animal has sharp long teeth to be able to penetrate skin and hair. The human teeth doesn't need to do that because were plant eaters so to speak. It's many centuries ago we needed to be able to penetrate skin and hair. ( monkey time )
