military gear

Soldier's standard kit

Military gear is equipment and clothing used by armed forces personnel.

The term covers everything from uniforms and boots to weapons, body armor, and tactical accessories.

In civilian contexts, military gear often refers to surplus items or military-style products sold commercially: He bought some military gear at the army surplus store.

Gear suggests practical, functional equipment rather than formal dress uniforms.
