Exuvius Collar Stay Tool

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

You’re doing your best to dress for success out in the Zombie wilderness, and I don’t know about you guys, but I really hate with collar tips roll up, ruining your stylish look. The Exuvius Collar Stay Tool allows you to keep that nicely pressed collar look, and pack a nice little set of tools, hidden away. These beauties allow you to hide a bottle opener, flat and half-phillips screw driver, and a nice little edge for cutting loose threads. Don’t sacrifice your form for function…The most important aspect of the Exuvius, is to allow you to look good when you don’t need all of that other functionality.

Orvis Ultimate Travel Jacket

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

You’ve only got two hands, and one of them is holding a cigarette, right? Well then the Orvis Ultimate Travel Jacket is going to be your new assistant. Removable sleeves and hood make this ideal for most zombie survival climates, so you can look good all year round. This monster has 27 pockets (5 on the inside!), allowing you to carry mp3 players, keys, eyewear, water bottles, spare ammunition, and even books to keep you occupied while you scan the horizon for zombies. Also, almost as if Orvis had this in mind, the fasteners and hardware are all corrosion resistant, so you don’t have to worry about a little gore keeping you from zipping up when the winds start whipping.

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

With winter upon us, chances are, you’ve got some stylish gear to keep you warm already, but you haven’t really thought about mobility on ice.

T-Shirt Bordello

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

We found a few items that we discussed earlier from TShirtBordello.com, so I think we should point out something that focuses on looking good while you’re out there crushing zombie skulls. There are quite a few fun and clever designs (zombie-related and just plain geek-friendly) that you can stock up on, so you don’t have to run around sporting the same joke garment as yesterday. While I’m generally sporting a helpful shirt reminding everyone of Rule #2, It’s always nice to have the option to represent Al Bundy with a Polk High jersey while going all “Psycho Dad” on the zeds as well. Of course relaxing with a nice cup’o'joe afterwards with a cool but ironic “I heart zombies” mug is always nice too.

FirstGear TPG Teton Motorcycle Jacket

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

It’s pretty clear that you’ve got to make sure that your clothing provides ample protection in the ZApocalypse, but sporting great looking and highly functional clothing makes survival just a bit more bearable. You’re still human after all, and it’s nice to remind yourself of what humanity has left behind (and is fighting for once again). Grab a First Gear Teton Motorcycle Jacket featuring d3o intelligent shock absorption, so you can move about in style, while also sporting a protective garment when you’ve got to dispatch a group of ghouls that don’t really appreciate your fashion forward sensibility. The Teton has d3o gel in the shoulders and elbows for unparalleled flexible impact resistance. Especially if your main mode of transportation is a motorcycle. Not to mention, the zip-in liner is a stylish standalone wind/waterproof jacket with microfleece for warmth.

Chrome Mini Metro Buckle Messenger Bag

Scavanged by Baehr Manley

Mil Spec gear is a great choice for things like bags, clothing and other accessories, but that doesn’t mean it has to look “Mil Spec”. The Chrome Mini Metro messenger bag features a rugged weatherproof Cordura outer shell, with military spec binding to protect your gear from the weather, or splattered zombie bits from melee combat. Not to mention, the main over-the-chest load stabilizing strap is made from five bar seat belt webbing with a quick release car seat belt buckle (that doubles as a bottle opener), so it’s tough enough to hang on to all your equipment. But in a pinch (or a grab) of some zeds get a hold of your bag, the quick release buckle lets you get clear and fight from a safer position and not be dragged into the hungry pack of flesh eaters. Stylish, compact and tough, the Chrome Mini Metro looks great and gets the job done. Exactly what we’re looking for at ZPrepared.

Out in the mix, you really have to rely on your vision to make the tough shots. If your eyesight is compromised, you may very well walk right into the hungry maw of a lone zombie.

Nike Storm-FIT M-65 Jacket

Scavanged by Hudson Steele

Autumn is right around the corner, which means for most of us the beginning rain, wind, and the cold season. For those of use who live where it gets really cold, it marks the time of year where Zsurvivalist can breath a sigh of relief as it’s just a few more months before the Undead will immediately become Zombie-cicles when exposed to the elements.
It’s also a good time to start looking for outerwear that offers good weather protection, decent mobility, and can take the rigors of living in an Undead world. The Nike Storm-FIT M-65 Jacket is good choice for those in need of a versatile jacket for the upcoming months. It features Storm-FIT fabric that repels wind, rain and snow without being too bulky. It also has a packable hood at the collar to keep rain and wind off you head and out of your face. It may not be the warmest jacket for sub-zero temps, but layering is always an option, and a good idea anyway.
