Crossword Genius

Gear used in ski training (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kit

'gear' is the definition.
(kit is a kind of gear)

'in ski training' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'KIT' is hidden within 'ski training'.

'used' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kit that I've seen before include "Set of equipment, perhaps for first-aid" , "Set of parts sold to be assembled" , "Equipment, clothing" , "tackle" , "Young beaver" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
