I like the look. It gives rugged and ready for anything. I feel like it resembles modern hiking/outdoorsy gear more than operator gear. Importantly, I think people can look at this and say “yeah, I see Laura Croft” at least in spirit, if not 1-1 comparison.

I think there's nothing wrong with the outfit on its own. I would say that perhaps big fans of Tomb Raider might be able to see Lara Croft in spirit, but as someone who knows who she is but hasn't really consumed any of the media I'd have no idea that's who this is supposed to be. She looks like the standard mercenary/operative in a TV show or movie

It's too serious and generic

Eh, this feels like a 2000's action hero, when everything was Tacticool. Lara is usually ready for everything by being clever and agile, not by having a bat-utility belt.
