Gear & Clothing

​

Overview

The Gear & Clothing module tracks everything your team carries or wears — plate carriers, holsters, medical kits, uniforms, boots, and more. It is split into two tabs: Items and Loadouts.

---

​

Items tab

The Items tab is the inventory of individual gear pieces. Each item belongs to your organization and is visible only to your team.

​

Categories

Items are organized by category. Choose from the built-in list or enter a custom category: Plate Carrier · Chest Rig · Holster · Belt · Magazine Pouches · Backpack · Bag · Light · Optics · Hearing Protection · Eye Protection · Knife · Medical / IFAK · Pants · Shirt · Jacket · Base Layer · Boots · Gloves · Hat · Other Select + Custom… at the bottom of the category dropdown to enter a free-text category that isn’t in the list.

​

Adding an item

1. Navigate to Gear & Clothing in the left sidebar.
2. Click + Add Item.
3. Enter the item name and select a category.
4. Fill in brand, size/fit, weight, purchase price, date acquired, and product URL as needed.
5. Configure battery, container, and service status options (see below).
6. Optionally add a photo, notes, and attach documents.
7. Save.

​

Battery tracking

Items that require power can be tracked in one of three modes: Setting a change interval and last battery change date on battery-powered items lets the system surface battery change alerts when an item is overdue.

​

Container flag

Toggle Is a Container when adding an item that physically holds other gear — a range bag, plate carrier, chest rig, or pack. Marking an item as a container makes it available as a nesting target inside Loadouts (see below). Items that are not containers cannot have other items placed inside them in a loadout.

​

In-service status

Each item can be set to In Service or Out of Service. Choosing Out of Service reveals a Reason text field to record why (damaged, sent for repair, retired, etc.). Out-of-service items remain in the list and are still available to add to loadouts, but are visually marked.

​

Wish list

Toggle Wish List to mark an item as a planned purchase rather than owned inventory. Wish-list items display with a dashed blue border and a Wish List badge. Use the wish-list filter on the Items list to show All, Owned only, or Wish List only.

​

Loadouts tab

A loadout is a named snapshot of the firearms and gear you plan to carry for a specific purpose — a PRS match, a hunting trip, EDC, or a range day. Loadouts pull from your existing Armory and Gear inventories; they do not create copies of items.

​

Creating a loadout

1. Go to Gear & Clothing → Loadouts tab.
2. Click + New Loadout.
3. Enter a name (e.g. “PRS Match”, “Hunting”, “EDC”) and an optional description.
4. Use the search bar to find firearms and gear by name, brand, or category and add them to the loadout.
5. Configure placement and quantity for each item (see below).
6. Save.

​

Item placement

Each item in a loadout has two placement options:

• Worn on body — the item is carried directly on the person (a holster on the belt, a plate carrier on the chest).
• Placed in a container — the item is packed inside another item in the loadout that is marked as a container.

Toggle the Worn on Body switch on any item row to set body-carry placement. To nest an item inside a container, drag it onto the target container row, or use the container selector in the item row.

​

Nested containers

If a loadout includes an item flagged as a container (a range bag, backpack, plate carrier), other items — including other containers — can be placed inside it. This creates a hierarchical packing structure that mirrors how gear is actually organized.

• Items nested inside a container are displayed indented beneath it.
• Removing a container from the loadout detaches all its nested items (they revert to top-level, not deleted).
• Nesting depth is capped to prevent runaway hierarchies.

​

Quantity

Gear items support a quantity field for items carried in multiples — magazines, med supplies, patches, etc. Firearms always have a quantity of one.

​

Weight summary

The loadout detail view shows a weight donut chart that breaks down total loadout weight by item. Weight is pulled from the weight field on each firearm and gear item. Items without a recorded weight are excluded from the total.

​

Sharing a loadout

Loadouts can be shared publicly via a tokenized link — useful for sharing a kit list with teammates, sponsors, or the broader community without requiring a MyKit.info account. To share a loadout:

1. Open the loadout from the Loadouts list.
2. Click Share on the loadout card or detail view.
3. Choose an expiry: 1 week, 1 month, or Never expires.
4. Click Create Link — a unique URL is generated.
5. Copy and share the URL. Recipients can view the full item list without logging in.

Managing active shares:

• Active share links are listed in the Share dialog with their expiry date.
• Click Revoke to invalidate a link immediately. Previously shared URLs will return a 404 after revocation.
• Only one active share link per loadout is supported at a time. Creating a new link replaces the previous one.
