What exactly are these two things?

PC Gear: Physical Conditioning. I.e. Sweats, Shorts, shirts, etc...
Trench Coat thingy: Just a long overcoat that goes over your other clothes.

Is there a long wintry cape-like thing too, an overcoat of some kind, or is that the "trench coat thingy?"

[Christcorp]

Not sure. I'm old; but in the time prior to Al Gore inventing the internet and when dinosaurs roamed the earth; I had 4 outer coats. Field Jacket/P-Coat style; Parka, Heavy over-coat/Trench Coat style, and a light weight trench coat style (Used mostly over "Blues".) Again, that was in the 70's and not at the academy. I didn't look at a lot of my son's uniforms; but the "Trench Coat" could be more of an outer coat when wearing blues. Unless they are referring to the "P-Coat" style coat. I'm sure hornet or one of the other current cadets can clarify. later... mike....

Not much difference Christcorp.

One long coat meant as an overgarment for rainy weather in blues.
Another long coat to go over service dress in cold weather (feels like it weighs 40 pounds...)

Thanks... Definitely sounds like they are the same since the last Ice Age. later... mike....
