i'll be more then happy to, its taking time to get it done right so far i have the bases made then i added a small padding mostly made from cotton balls and floor padding found under carpets just under 3/4 of an inch and then topped that off with a smaller piece of leather to hold it in place. Next im going to try to find a way to use some chicken wire like scrap metal i have laying around and see if i can add that as a third layer all in all my weekend is planed out already

that is a very good find. even though the chest and groin guards won't really be needed, the armor for the arms and legs will be a must. and for the whole system i have to agree with you. the price of $580 is a cherry deal.

as much as i would love a full suit of riot armor or some fall out inspired metal welded raider gear. I think the basic wardrobe for those surviving will be heavy sturdy clothing like denim jeans and thick coats like leather or again denim. the apocalypse might have people going around looking like there strait out of a faith hill concert. you want to protect the areas your most likely to be get bit. which considering the limitation of the human/zombie body is most likely. hands, forearms, shins, neck and face.

so long sleeve clothing made out of strong woven material is a must. you don't need to be able to stop a knife jabbed at you at 40 miles an hour. just something to keep teeth from sinking into you long enough for you to react. If zombie movies have taught us anything its that either get bitten when your taken by surprise. that one lone walker that that manages to sneak up on you when you guard is down.,and get into your soft flesh before you can push it away. or when your getting swarmed by so many of the bastard the the best armor on the world isn't going to protect you. in the situation your just dead, or undead in this case. so better to plan for the one you can actually survive.

gloves sturdy walking shoes or boots. long sleeve pants shirts and jackets all made of a non-cotton preferably thickly woven material. the only actual specialty armor i would consider getting is a throat guard. as your neck is the most like place to be bit if your confronted face to face with a walker. if just for where the zombies main weapon 9its teeth (duh) and your body meet up. there's a reason loves like to kiss on and snuggle into each neck slash shoulder. there are plenty of kinds ot get from paintball to motorcycle of fencing. just make sure its somewhat ridged comfertable and can breath. you dont want o have to take it off because it gets to sweaty.
