They keep some water out but they also keep it in, including sweat. In some conditions they help, and in others they can actually hurt. People have different opinions about gortex and waterproofing. On the other hand, my police boots are almost as good as my hiking boots. I used to have a pair of army issue combat boots, and they were terrible for basically everything. There are some “tactical” boots that would work fine though. Tall boots offer very little advantage and cost a lot of weight, flexibility, comfort, circulation, and speed of donning. I suggest going with a model that’s no more than ankle high. If you look at what they special forces guys are wearing on their feet these days, it’s not a combat or “tactical” boot, it’s the same boots you can get at REI. In general the best all around style of footwear is going to be modern style, civilian hiking boots/shoes. Whatever you wear, make sure it’s designed for walking (under weight) but also comfortable for running, jumping, etc.
A lb on your feet equals ten on your back.įeet vary a lot, so I can’t say what brand would fit you best. Like I said, use what you have, but ideally you want something lightweight but reasonably sturdy. Winter layering is a whole separate topic though.įootwear is probably the most important item of clothing, hands down. Ideally you want something that can be layered up or down depending on the weather.
Ounces turn into lbs very quickly, so don’t go too “heavy duty” but some outdoor clothing these days is designed to be replaced frequently and won’t hold up for long.
Try to strike a balance between durability and weight. There are also plenty of excellent civilian options as well. These would probably be better for hot weather than a more traditional blouse, but might not last as long or be as practical during cooler weather. Some are designed to go under armor, and have a t-shirt like torso with BDU style sleeves and shoulders. They offer enough cover for your arms to protect against scratches from zombies or underbrush, but you can usually roll them up in hot weather too. They are relatively heavy, but they breathe pretty well in the summer and they hold up. Military style shirts work well, though they stand out a bit. It doesn’t have too be too heavy though, since it’s only meant to stop scratches. Hands and arms make the easiest target for a grab. I would want long sleeves, weather permitting, and time hand-to-hand was a possibility (even if not expected). Lot of personal preference involved here. Whatever underwear is comfy for long periods of walking, and preferably easy to air out/wash in the field. No one bats an eye at them, in my experience. You could also get them in camo, if you prefer, or more nondescript colors like khaki or black if you want to look civilian. They have buttons, which are quieter than zippers and much easier to repair in the field.
ZOMBIE BIKER COSTUMES PLUS
They are incredibly comfortable, have lots of functionally sized and designed pockets, the sizing is adjustable which allows for layering an such, plus they are a pretty decent balance of lightweight and durable. I wear black BDU pants as my default casual pant option, and I have yet to find something more practical or comfortable, though not all manufacturers are the same so shop around. Some sturdy outdoor pants, preferably synthetic. I would rather have a beat up pair of dress shoes from home than a pair of hiking boots that don’t fit well. And of course make sure that whatever you wear fits and is comfortable. In general, form always follows function.
