'''Gear''' is the combined form of headgear, clothing, and shoes that [[Inkling]]s and [[Octoling]]s can wear. Gear comes with various [[gear ability|abilities]] that provide effects for the player in battle. Gear can be acquired in shops, through [[SplatNet 3]], or through [[amiibo]], ordered through [[Spyke]] or [[Murch]], or by other means, depending on the item.

Each piece of gear has a [[Gear brand|brand]] and a [[star power]] that affects its abilities. Most brands have an increased likelihood of rolling a particular ability when a slot is unlocked, as well as a decreased likelihood of a different ability. Its stars affects how many ability slots a piece of gear has by default and the amount of experience required to unlock those slots.

==Shops==
[[File:Shella Fresh.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Shopping at [[Shella Fresh]] in {{S2}}.]]

The primary source for gear is in shops. Shops include [[Booyah Base]] in ''[[Splatoon]]'' and the [[Galleria]] in ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', both of which contain stores for headgear, clothing, and shoes. Items purchased from shops will always have their default main [[gear ability|ability]] and a default number of ability slots, but shops offer the lowest prices on gear items.

Shops sell gear for [[File:S2 Icon Cash.png|24px|link=Cash]] [[cash]]. On any given calendar day, a shop will have a selection of items for sale. The items available will be selected at random from the pool of items that the player is eligible to buy. The items available in the shop cycle out at midnight according to the system clock (in ''Splatoon'') or at [https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc midnight UTC] (in ''Splatoon 2'' and ''3''). The exact items a player is eligible to buy depends on their [[level]].

Gear that is already owned cannot be purchased again from shops, unless they have been purchased from [[SplatNet 2]] or ordered from [[Murch]] with a non-default ability. In ''Splatoon 3'', duplicate gear can be bought to increase the currently owned gear's star power.

==Ordering==
===Spyke and Murch===
[[File:Murch Order.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Ordering gear through [[Murch]].]]

Gear can be ordered through [[Spyke]] and [[Murch]]. While interacting with other players in [[Inkopolis Plaza]] (''[[Splatoon]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 3]]''), [[Inkopolis Square]] (''[[Splatoon 2]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 3]]''), or [[Splatsville]] (''[[Splatoon 3]]''), their gear can be ordered. After shop rotation, Spyke or Murch will have the next ordered item available for purchase.

Players can have up to three gear items ordered at a time, but only one order will be fulfilled each calendar day. The first item ordered will be the first order fulfilled. The items offered for purchase by Spyke or Murch may not have the same secondary [[gear ability|abilities]] as the ordered gear item, and the price will be significantly more than the item would cost in its respective shop.

Any gear item(s) not collected from previous Season's [[catalog]]s in ''Splatoon 3'' cannot be ordered until they have first been obtained from the [[Shell-Out Machine]].

Most gear items from the following [[gear brand]]s cannot be ordered:
* {{Brand|S3|amiibo}}
* {{Brand|S3|Cuttlegear}} (with exceptions: see below)
* {{Brand|S3|Grizzco}}

The only exceptions are the four [[Cuttlegear]] clothing introduced in [[Version 3.0.0 (Splatoon 2)|''Splatoon 2'' version 3.0.0]], which appear in shops and can be ordered through Murch as standard gear:
*{{Gear|S2|Clothing|Black Cuttlegear LS}}
*{{Gear|S2|Clothing|Octarian Retro}}
*{{Gear|S3|Clothing|Octo Tee}}
*{{Gear|S2|Clothing|Red Cuttlegear LS}}

In addition, the following individual gear items are exclusive promotions and cannot be ordered:
*{{Gear|S2|Clothing|Brown FA-11 Bomber}}
*{{Gear|S2|Clothing|Gray FA-11 Bomber}}
*{{Gear|S2|Clothing|Green V-Neck Limited Tee}}
*{{Gear|S2|Clothing|Red V-Neck Limited Tee}}

===SplatNet 2===
[[File:SplatNet Order.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Ordering gear through [[SplatNet 2]].]]

In ''Splatoon 2'', players can use [[SplatNet 2]] to order gear with main abilities not otherwise available for any given item. Gear ordered this way can immediately be purchased through [[Murch]] in-game.

Six gear items are available for order at a time. Every two hours, a new gear item is made available, and the oldest gear item is removed from the list. Only one gear item can be ordered from SplatNet 2 at a time: ordering a second item will cancel the order for the first one.
{{Clear}}

=== SplatNet 3 ===
In ''Splatoon 3'', players can use [[SplatNet 3]] to order gear like with SplatNet 2. Unlike SplatNet 2, nine gear items are available for purchase at once. Six items with alternate abilities are available to purchase, adding a new one every four hours and removing one at the same time, and three gear items of a specific brand being offered each day through a feature known as The Daily Drop, updating at 00:00 UTC.

==Promotional gear==
{{Main|Promotional gear}}
Promotional gear is gear released to promote various events and third party collaborations. Many cannot be ordered through Murch, and some are region locked to Japan.

==Statistics==
{{Main|Gear statistics}}

*Both in ''Splatoon'' and ''Splatoon 2'', over half the 1-star gear is clothing.
*In ''Splatoon'', exactly half the clothing is 1-star.
*In ''Splatoon 2'', there is only one fewer 2-star item than there are 1-star items (140 versus 141).
* In ''Splatoon 2'', the most common primary [[gear ability|ability]] on headgear is [[Special Saver]] (seven items), the most common primary ability on clothing is tied between [[Quick Super Jump]] and [[Thermal Ink]] (fifteen items each), and the most common primary ability on shoes is [[Bomb Defense Up DX]] (nine items).
* In ''Splatoon 3'', the most common primary ability on headgear is [[Sub Resistance Up]] (fifteen items), the most common primary ability on clothing is [[Ink Saver (Sub)]] (twenty-one items), and the most common primary ability on shoes is tied between [[Ink Resistance Up]] and Ink Saver (Sub) (fifteen items).
*For all the categories in ''Splatoon'', there are at least three different abilities which are the most common for that category.
*In ''Splatoon'', the [[gear brand]] that produces the most headgear is [[Forge]] (fourteen items), the brand that produces the most clothing are tied with [[Splash Mob]] and [[SquidForce]] (sixteen items each) and the brand that produces the most shoes is [[Krak-On]] (thirteen items).
*In ''Splatoon 2'', the gear brand that produces the most headgear is Forge (eighteen items), the brand that produces the most clothing is Splash Mob (nineteen items) and the brand that produces the most shoes is [[Tentatek]] (nineteen items).
* In ''Splatoon 3'', the gear brand that produces the most headgear is Forge (thirty-two items), the brand that produces the most clothing is SquidForce (twenty-seven items), and the brand that produces the most shoes is Tentatek (thirty-two items).
*In ''Splatoon'', five brands do not produce all three types of gear: [[Firefin]], Forge, [[Skalop]], SquidForce, and the real-world tie-in brand [[KOG]]. They all produce headgear and clothing but not shoes, with the exception of KOG, which only produces clothing.
**In ''Splatoon 2'' and ''Splatoon 3'', only one brand still has this distinction: Skalop.
*In ''Splatoon'', every piece of special promotional gear, except for the [[CoroCoro]] gear, is produced by a special brand (for instance, the [[SQUID GIRL Gear]] is produced by [[The SQUID GIRL]]).
**In ''Splatoon 2'' and ''Splatoon 3'', this is not the case. Every piece of special promotional gear is produced by an existing brand that is not associated with special promotions, most commonly Forge, which produces eight pieces of promotional gear in-game.
* Of the 205 items appearing in ''Splatoon'' and ''Splatoon 2'', twenty-six had their stars changed (eight headgear, twelve clothing, six shoes), all by one star. The [[Noise Cancelers]], [[LE Soccer Cleats]], [[Round-Collar Shirt]], [[Purple Sea Slugs]], [[Gold Hi-Horses]], [[Trail Boots]], [[Mawcasins]], [[Skull Bandana]], [[White Shirt]] and [[Octoleet Goggles]] had their stars increased, whilst the [[White Anchor Tee]], [[Crazy Arrows]], [[Soccer Headband]], [[Navy Striped LS]], [[Bike Helmet]], [[Armor Helmet Replica]], [[Armor Jacket Replica]], [[Armor Boot Replicas]], [[Layered Anchor LS]], [[Striped Beanie]], [[Choco Layered LS]], [[Pilot Goggles]], [[Baby-Jelly Shirt]], [[Green Tee]], [[Camo Mesh]], and [[Layered Vector LS]] had their stars decreased.
*All gear that appears in both ''Splatoon'' and ''Splatoon 2'' that had [[Bomb Range Up]] in ''Splatoon'' has [[Sub Power Up]] in ''Splatoon 2''. The same is true for [[Defense Up]] and [[Bomb Defense Up DX]], [[Cold Blooded]] and [[Main Power Up]], and for [[Special Duration Up]] and [[Special Power Up]].
* The [[Splatfest Tee]] is the only piece of gear that had an ability in ''Splatoon'' ([[Special Saver]]) that still exists in ''Splatoon 2'' and ''Splatoon 3'', yet had its ability changed (to [[Ability Doubler]], which is unique to it).
*Of the other four primary abilities added to ''Splatoon 2'', [[Thermal Ink]] appears only on gear that is new to ''Splatoon 2'', while the other three ([[Drop Roller]], [[Object Shredder]], and [[Respawn Punisher]] (except [[Black Anchor Tee]]) appear only on new gear or gear that had [[Damage Up]] as its primary ability in ''Splatoon''.

==Renamed gear==

*The {{Gear|S2|Clothing|School Cardigan}} was split into {{Gear|S3|Clothing|School Cardigan A}} and {{Gear|S3|Clothing|School Cardigan B}}.
*The {{Gear|S2|Shoes|School Shoes}} were split into {{Gear|S3|Shoes|Base School Shoes}} and {{Gear|S3|Shoes|School Shoes + Hi Socks}}.
*The {{Gear|S2|Clothing|School Uniform}} was split into {{Gear|S3|Clothing|School Uniform A}} and {{Gear|S3|Clothing|School Uniform B}}.
*The {{Gear|S2|Headgear|Squinja Mask}} was split into {{Gear|S3|Headgear|Squinja Mask Mk I}} and {{Gear|S3|Headgear|Squinja Mask Mk II}}.
