I would say bedliner-coated kevlar suits would make one quite zombie-proof and sufficient armor, provided a lightweight, yet durable enough, coating is applied. If it can fend off a dog bite, then it should definitely give someone a fighting chance against a horde of zombies. Even if overwhelmed, if you can sufficiently turtle into the suit (if wearing a helmet as well), and build enough resistance force to throw away the offending zombies to clear a path out, then it is a good choice of armor.

However, if the force is too overwhelming, then you're better off sending a redshirt decoy to disperse the horde a bit so you can make the break escape. The armor should minize damage at a more affordable price. It's no power armor, but it should be lightweight and pretty tough, even at a thin coating.

High quality motorcycle gear usually has kevlar in it.  Mine is ballistic nylon, which has still proven tough enough that I was able to walk away from an accident at 40 mph without any damage to myself or the gear.

Jeans, on the other hand... I pissed my brother off enough once when we were little that he bit right through them.  Definitely not sufficient protection against zombies.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

Wow.

Also, plan B, move to china. Find Monks.

Monks > Zombies.

Zombie survival plan, Maximum Style:

A) Raid and fortify my old (since decommissioned) Jr High School. It's big enough to comfortably house well over 100 people, and there are already bars on the windows! Gather as many survivors as I can.
B) Cover head to toe in leather gear (trenchcoat, military boots, waterproof hunting gloves) and racing helmet. Equip a couple katanas and my father's bigass pry bar/wood splitting maul/something else suitably heavy and able to crush a coconut or cleave a zed in two in one shot. Raid stores for food, bottled water, sporting goods whatnot such as football shoulder pads and baseball bats, tools and materials for fortifying, guns 'n' ammo, and gas cans. Guns are for other survivors to wield, fuel is for hauling stuff in trucks and stuff.
C) Raid the local military base/air force armory. Attempt to get father to attach vulcan cannon from an A10 to my car. Get smacked upside head.
D) Rebuild.

Zombie Survival Plan, Bdthemag Style:

A) Freak the fuck out.
B) Realize that everything will be awesome and that you could totally survive a zombie apocalypse.
C) Ironically die from food poisoning.
