Build the right kit for your budget.
Pick a mission and a number. We'll build the loadout from our catalog — essentials first, then upgrades until the money's spent — in the order to actually buy it.

Reference ranges to set expectations — KitID doesn't sell or link firearms, and these aren't counted in the gear budget above.
Eye protection
ESS Crossbow
$65
budget
Non-negotiable at any range.
Ballistic-rated interchangeable-lens glasses; a budget-friendly, widely used eye-pro option.
Some links go to sellers — KitID is not paid for those. Gear Wizard Armory is our house brand.
Ear protection
Earmor M31 Mod3

budget
Indoors, one unprotected shot is permanent hearing damage.

These didn't fit this budget — the next tier up covers them.
Prices are catalog street-price estimates; high-ticket optics and night vision move the most — verify before you buy. "Where to buy" links are third-party searches, except where an item links to our own store (Gear Wizard Armory) — that's labeled on the item.
