>>1273380>Plates are a 20+lb meme. Quality Level two vest maybe with level one stab is a worthwhile investment. I was thinking firm leather forearm armour or something. Basically the magazine armour from World War Z only less heavy and awkward. It only needs to be stronger than a human bite.
I'd have a vest if not travelling on foot but if walking everywhere it'd depend on how likely I am to encounter other people and how heavy the vest is. Don't want to carry around something if I don't have to.
