sports gear

Athlete's essential items

Sports gear is equipment and clothing used for athletic activities: I need to pick up some new sports gear before the season starts.

The term covers everything from balls and bats to shoes and protective padding.

Gear suggests the practical necessities rather than optional accessories.
