Dress to impress

MoG Gear Rave follows a Full Coverage Gear dress code, meaning attendees should wear outfits that embrace the gear fetish aesthetic and ideally fully cover your skin. This includes, but is not limited to: latex, motocross gear, motorcycle leathers, fursuits, pup gear, zentai/spandex, PVC, uniforms, workwear, BLUF, firefighting gear, and more. Creativity is encouraged — mix and match styles to express yourself, as long as your outfit aligns with the gear theme.

Wearing headgear is mandatory in all play-areas.

What’s not allowed? Streetwear (jeans, t-shirts, casual clothing) and overly revealing outfits (e.g., only a mesh shirt, harness, or jockstrap) does not meet the dress code and will result in denied entry.

If you’re unsure whether your outfit fits the dress code, feel free to reach out on Instagram or email us.
