'if you want to be equipped out with it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'if you want to be equipped out with' is the wordplay.
'if you want' becomes 'kit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to be' becomes 'fit' (fitting is a kind of being).
'equipped' becomes 'fitted' ('fit' can be a synonym of 'equip').
'out with' suggests deleting specific letters.
'fitted' with 'fit' removed is 'ted'.
'kit'+'ted'='KITTED'
