Cabal to order experimental gear (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

lab coat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'experimental gear' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cabal to order' is the wordplay.
'order' indicates an anagram.
'cabal'+'to'='cabalto'
'cabalto' anagrammed gives 'LAB COAT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lab coat that I've seen is " Scientist's protective clothing (abbr)".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
