A mouth piece, cup and some form of gloves are always on. Shin pads, elbow pads come on when the contact goes up. Boxing head gear gets strapped on on occasion, but not often.

Our gloves vary. General sparring is conducted in mma "sparring" gloves. More protection than a standard 4oz fight glove and very good hand freedom for trapping and grappling. Certain times we use mma fight gloves, now and then boxing gloves are the order of the day. It all depends on the goals of the night.
