Put on the black tactical gloves, ensuring a snug fit.

Tips
- Boiler suits can get hot indoors; wear a lightweight t-shirt and shorts underneath so you can tie the sleeves around your waist if needed.
- Keep your hands free by using a duffle bag with a long crossbody strap.
- Do not carry realistic-looking toy weapons in public spaces; stick to the duffle bag and money props to keep the costume safe and fun.
- For photos, pose in a gritty urban setting like a brick wall or concrete stairwell with a serious, guarded stance.
