How it's used
Originally referring to military gear, this expression is now frequently used in casual settings to describe someone who is overly prepared or dressed for an activity. It often carries a slightly humorous or hyperbolic tone, especially when someone brings excessive equipment for a simple task like going to the beach or a short walk.
Examples
He is fully equipped for hiking, just like he is going to war.
Are you fully prepared and ready to go?
Related words
Common phrases
set off fully equipped
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe literal military combat unless you are actually talking about soldiers, as it sounds quite dramatic in everyday life.
