Extra Gear Question

[Argonor]

I am finally getting back into SA with the 2nd ed., and I am just now re-calculating  my Treshold team to fit the 2nd ed. rules.

I have a matter that I need to get clarified:
SA2 page 32 says that Characters can purchase 2 Extra Gear items, Agents and Civilians 1.

Is this the maximum possessed by each model at any time, or just the maximum  for starting out models?

I have used this as the maximums that characters can have at any time. Especially with the rule about re-equipping later in that section.

I'll re-read that - thanks. One of those things that slips when just reading the rules, until you have actually worked through the whole sequence.
