The Gear Cage is your inventory for everything that isn’t a firearm or ammunition — plate carriers, body armor, optics, lights, medical kits, packs, and all other tactical accessories. Each item tracks purchase details, weight, service status, and optional battery data. Container items — bags and packs — can be assembled into range day loadouts.

​
Adding a gear item

Navigate to Gear Cage in the sidebar, then click Add item. Fill in the fields below and click Save.
​
name
string
required
A descriptive label for the item — for example, “Crye JPC 2.0” or “SureFire Scout Light Pro”.
​
brand
string
The manufacturer name — for example, “Crye Precision”, “Blue Force Gear”, or “Unity Tactical”.
​
category
string
The item type. Available categories include: plate carrier, plates, vest, optic, light, medical, pack, pouch, holster, and other.
​
size_fit
string
The size or fit designation for wearable items — for example, “Medium”, “Large/XL plates”, or “Small/Medium cummerbund”. Helps you match gear to the right person or loadout.
​
weight_oz
number
Item weight in ounces. Used for loadout weight calculations.
​
purchase_price
number
Amount paid in dollars. Optional — useful for insurance and budget tracking.
​
acquired_date
string
The date you received the item. Used for warranty and lifecycle tracking.
​
product_url
string
A link to the product page for quick reference.
​
notes
string
Freeform notes visible only to your workspace — configuration details, modifications, service history, etc.
You can attach a photo and supporting documents during the add flow or any time afterward from the item’s edit screen. Manuals, receipts, and inspection records are all good candidates.

​
Battery tracking

For battery-powered gear — optics, lights, electronic ear pro, laser devices — enable the Has battery toggle when adding or editing the item. Three fields become available:
​
battery_type
string
The battery size or part number — for example, “CR123A”, “18650”, or “AAA”.
​
last_battery_changed_at
string
The date the battery was last replaced. Sets the baseline for the next due date.
​
battery_interval_days
number
How often the battery should be replaced, in days. When the interval passes, My Kit generates a Battery replacement due action item on your dashboard.
To log a battery change, open the gear item and click Mark replaced. My Kit records today’s date as last_battery_changed_at and clears the overdue action item automatically.
Battery action items appear on your main dashboard alongside firearm cleaning reminders. You can resolve all overdue items from the Action Items panel without navigating to each item individually.

​
Marking items in and out of service

Every gear item is either in service or out of service. In-service items are available for selection when building loadouts and logging range sessions. Out-of-service items are hidden from those pickers but remain visible in your Gear Cage inventory. To mark an item out of service, open the item’s edit screen, toggle In service to off, and enter an Out-of-service reason — for example, “Waiting for replacement strap” or “Sent for repair”. The reason displays on the item card in the inventory list. To return an item to service, toggle In service back to on and save. The reason field is cleared automatically.

​
Container items

A container item is any piece of gear that holds other items — a range bag, plate carrier, assault pack, or chest rig. Marking an item as a container makes it available as a “range bag” anchor when logging a range session. To designate an item as a container, enable the Is container toggle on the add or edit screen. There are no special fields required — the toggle alone is enough. When you log a range day session, My Kit lets you select which gear you brought. Container items appear prominently in that selector, so you can quickly indicate which bag or carrier you ran for that session.
Use container items to represent your most common loadout configs — a dedicated USPSA bag, a patrol kit, a fly-away kit — and then select the appropriate one when logging each session. Over time, this gives you a clear record of which loadout was active for each training day.
