Looks like he's dressed in quite a bit of surplus Hoth gear.
The long gloves look to be welder's gloves.

It's looking like a Vietnam Frag vest from the few pics, just based of the front though I see a guy on etsy is selling something that looks approximate and it's backless

but, Frag Vests are not backless typically, and if like many other props from Rogue One, his vest was probably heavily based off of the Frag Vest.
The hat is also odd as it look like there's a second brim, flipped up underneath of the goggles...plus that quilting on the ear flap

His variation on the vest is backless. You can see other troopers wearing the same model of vest in the Gillette extended commercial but it's one of those blink and you miss it moments. My main question is what type of belt/attachment is used to secure both sides of the waist together.

He's wearing the Type 2 vest (with the Hoth Pack greeblie on the bottom right)
Full back.
I can't find any shots of the back but you can see it has a back on the ones at the Nissan display.
The backless one in the Gillette commercial is the Hoth vest.

So it's modular.(?) just not a Y harness like the Hoth vest.
