One kind of off topic thing, I heard a few folks (not here so much) make fun of the leather jacket. Am I wrong to think that the leather may be helpful in preventing zombie bites? That far into the zombie apocalypse one would think that some sort of road warrior type of anti zombie armor would be devised.
The Governor's right hand man Milton duct taped the sleeves on a jacket to use as protection. Merle made fun of it but it actually saved him from getting bit when they went walker fetching.
I'd want some definitely want some sort of protection. Motorcycle riders wear leather to help reduce road rash so i would think that it'd help against zombie bites. At least better than regular clothes.
I think that as the show progresses it's not as much of a necessity as the experienced characters are apt at taking down single and smaller groups of zeds. Hordes are a different matter and at that point running would be a better option.
The Alexandria folks could use some though.
