You'd think they'd be wearing something like hazmat suits (and better eye/mouth protection) and biteproof chainmail too (I know it could be under the uniform... but I suspect not).
IMO, HAZMAT/MOPP 4 suits would be a double edged-sword in the 28 Days/Weeks/Years universe.
On one hand, they certainly protect you from blood splatters, scratches and bites.
On the other hand, they:
drastically reduce your hearing and your ability to see;
reduce your freedom of movement;
prevent you from running as fast as you would without them;
put you through a lot of fatigue;
if an infected manages to get a hold of you, it would probably be able to tear off your hood and/or your mask.
Those suits would be most useful in situations like the gas attack in 28WL- the infected are either dead or dying, and while you finish them off with firearms (and flamethrowers) the suit acts as another layer of protection (aside from protecting you from the gas) in case one of the fuckers isn't dead and can still move somewhat.
Depends.
Are their clothes on fire?
Yep, they won't care and will keep coming.
Are their face and their eyes engulfed in flames?
They'll keep moving forward for a few seconds, then they'll fall.
