Seriously guys, protection and zombieproof gear is for pansies. The only thing that's going to keep you safe is looking as sharp as possible. How will you dress to kill during zpoc? Nearly every zombie film has some badass in a slick costume at some point or other. I don't want to hear about your fancy 'chainmail' or 'flak jacket' rubbish, will you go for the ninja style? Biker? Will you go for the mysterious cloaked stranger effect or the obvious warrior? Get inventive here.
Edit: C'mon lads, you're doing it wrong. You're being, dare i say, practical..? I want interesting, not sensible.
I'd wear a black military beret, black sunglass goggles, I'd have a black trench coat, a brown turtle neck t-shirt, dark fingerless paded gloves, a side holster with my luger PO8 and four extra clips for it, green A.C.U. pants, a belt with pouches filled with tools and usefull items, attatched to my belt and leg would be the holster for my MP7A1 and the gun on my right leg, and eight clips (four on both legs), a K-bar in a sheath on my left side, black dress socks and wool socks, and black swamp boots.
i would rock my kilt with black jungle boots and a tactical vest with no shirt my wileyx tactical sunglasses, and then my machete on one side with my pistol on the other and just be weighted down with a shit load of guns
