Boots, helmets, rope, etc (4)

I believe the answer is:

gear

(Other definitions for gear that I've seen before include "Toothed wheel used when changing speed" , "Clobber" , "Equipment; car mechanism" , "illegal drugs" , "Informal clothes seen in rage" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
