I don't know if I am a part of a majority or not, but I've noticed that I tend to ask ppl in the lobby:
"What's the name of that gear that does that or that".

And I have noticed that a lot of people ask, and I started thinking about it, and since then I have asked almost everyone I have been in a lobby with;
"How do you remember what gear is for what?"

People I have asked including myself, tend to reply that they scroll through the list and look at the visual example of the gear, and then it recalls the memory of what it's used for. 

Because of the visual being so great part of the memorization of the particular gear you are looking for, I would like to submit and suggest a visual change of how you choose your gear. It might not happen, but the worst you can get is a "NO".

So here we go, I have made an example of what i think would make it easier to remember, and when you click that gear, it shows up on your right, as it does now, with the details of the specifik gear.. 
(No I am not a PS NERD, I would add frames as on the N7 HQ if I knew how to get them with transparent background). :huh:

After great suggestions and help in the thread I have made a revised version:

The first four slots is the most frequently used gears, under them the gears will be categorized as Uncommon gears first and Rare after a little scrolling.. And instead of the roman numbers I-V of the gears I have put in the same visual system as under the N7 HQ under every gear..

What are your thoughts about it? ^_^

I love it, the only one I know is that the assault rifle and grenade is right at the bottom, this would be a nice change.

Make it so Bioware.

Also, auto-favourite - most frequently used gear is always at the top.

 I love your idea and have been speculating about a similar request.
I would like to 1up you with the following suggestion: add metal colors, like on the N7HQ. Se snip bellow.

I'm inclined to agree with you somewhat. Perhaps 1 less row and column, so the pictures and text can be a little bit bigger and spaced apart.

Yeah I know, but it was only a quick suggestion..  ;)
I would add the frames as on the N7 HQ if I had them, but I didn't wanna sit there and crop/clip them since it's 11 am and havent slept yet, so kinda tired... :blink::P

But if you have a look at the N7 HQ gear inventory, that's kinda like I wanted it to be, but my PhotoShop skills aren't that good yet since I only got the program about a month ago.. hehe.. ^_^

I hate having to scroll, scroll, scroll for something that I use on a regular basis. There's so many gear items now that the list is too long and unruly.

Would like to see something similar done to consumables and characters selection as well.

There will still be a little scrolling, not all can fit in one page, but having a directly visual recall of the memory would sure make it easier.. ^_^

Much better than the current system, agreed.

 Some of the names aren't instantly recognisable by their function, so a system like this would be brilliant at organising them in a easy-to-read layout. :)

I'd love this one.
I sure as hell can't find anything I want off the current list.

Definitely, I'm hoping for a lot of improvements to the menus in the next game. A grid is a better use of space then a long list with lots of empty space in each line.

I like it.
Current layout is a hassle to find a gear and ammo that you're looking for.
