Sporting goods stores carry thick neoprene padded forearm guards, marketed for linemen playing football, that would provide bite protection to the forearm and back of the hand.
Solid boots, with leather gaiters would protect the legs up to the knees (where standard issue kneepads take over), covering you from crawlers in tall grass.
That would keep you fairly covered while on the move, while not sacrificing any real mobility. If I were in a stationary role, welders jacket, gloves (trigger finger exposed), and heavy bib overalls, with a chain mail or kevlar coif. The pressure of the bite will get through and cause some minor tissue damage, but the primary goal is to keep their mouth juices out of your bloodstream.
Flesh wounds can get bandages, zombie bites just get bullets.
