Gorka Thread!
I consider to buy a Gorka, but i'd like to hear some Pro's and Con's from /k/.
Also, where are the best places to buy one.
>inb4 ebay
Nugget Enterprises shills saying "just wait a bit NE'll have Gorka soon" in 5....4...
>>24840213
Gorka is ISIS/10
and Varusteleka or Soviet-Power are the best places to buy them
any important information about sizing?
Gorka's are alright, definitely better and inexpensive alternatives. They're usually only water resistant at best unless you treat them with wax or spray. Work well as an outer layer in both the summer and winter with layers underneath. Try to buy from a reputable dealer over ebay, sure it'll be more expensive, but you'll be getting the real deal, not some shit put together in a slavs basement and sold on ebay to the slavaboos.
>>24840245
Legit one:

>>24840213
Sizing: since gorkas are oversuits they're pretty big, so if you want to wear them like normal cloths you should get 1-2 sizes smaller
>>24840378
i think i got to learn russian
>>24840393
I read in one of the slavaboos forums that they answer orders in English, but I don't know if that still works with the whole boycott going on.
Simplest would be to order from some English language shop, but they tend to price the same stuff 50-100% more

two types of faggots. Those with gorka4s and those without gorka4s.
Personally, I have one.
>>24840246
Summer?
Wait, so Gorkas are literally just outer shell layers?
I thought they were like actual warm clothing.
>>24840627
There are different types.
>>24840625
Where did you get yours?

>>24840627
No, they are hot as all fuck, even the summer variants. They also protect from just about every element ever to exist as they have inner straps that tighten on everything and if you wear it right, you are set. They go through snow like it ain't no thing. They hold against freezing fucking wind too and I have a summer version. Its made of what good duffel bags are made of but has a weather-proof coating on the outside of it.
>>24840627
Literally just a Cotton Jacket and Pants. The idea is you layer underneath, the Gorka protects from wind and light rain
>>24840656
Have a friend in ukraine who just jacked it from somewhere and sent it off. 100 bucks total brand new in box.
>>24840660
>>24840663
Getting some mixed signals here
>>24840673
Basically >>24840663 is correct, but there's one variant that's waterproof and you can use normal water proofing spray or wax on the other ones
>>24840673
Gorka's can get hot in the summer, not something to wear around everywhere. Best for windy and inclimate weather.
>>24840673
well I am both
>>24840625
>>24840660
and I live in MA right now and have been wearing this thing to clean snow every other day. Wearing jeans and a cotton shirt under it and I've been sweating my balls off while the wind chill has been -40 and its 0 degrees out raining shit and snow all night.
Yes you are supposed to layer underneath but you are also fucking using it to work so of course it'll get too hot in there. Its designed properly but there's no "breathing" in it. Its literally a sack.
>>24840697
Why are they $100 then?
>>24840718
You can only get them imported, they aren't sold here in the US so we are at the mercy of slavs.
Its hardly worth 100..I'd say its worth like 50 bucks but some of us want em.
>>24840718
what the fuck material can breathe and do what the gorka does?
>>24840745
Goretex
>>24840745
crack cocaine. Fuck I don't know, its just slav-tier engineering at its usual pace. LOOK IT PROTECTS YOU FROM EVERYTHING EVER!!... YOUR GONNA WANNA TAKE IT OFF AFTER 20 MINUTES OF WORKING THOUGH.
>>24840745
From the sounds of it, any hard shell jacket will do the same thing, be much lighter and more breathable, and only marginally more expensive.
Or conversely, it sounds like my $20 Czech coat does the exact same thing for $80 less.

>>24840213
If you're getting a gorka make sure its made by SSO/SPOSN. that is the brand Russian military and Special forces use. I recomend you get a gorka-e.
>>24842356
i got mine from викинг, it's alright. i cut off the buttons and sewed them on again because they weren't sewed on properly.
>>24842356
Yeah, but it's hard to find shops that sell these brand and not the cheap knockoffs
>>24842841
Seems like http://frontowiec.com/index.php just became a distributor for the two biggest gorka producers. Since it's a polish shop, shipping should be easier
>tfw you like gorka but don't want to buy it because it doesn't match PTR-91 and Bundeswehr flecktarn webbing

they sell these things called frogg toggs at wal mart.
they are a lot cheaper and do the exact same shit

if these things are so fucking hot how the hell are the kebaabs in ISIS wearing it, do they not feel heat or something?
>>24844343
When it gets much hotter than your body temperature (so about 100 degrees F) wearing jackets will keep you cooler since it traps your body heat and keeps it at 98 while keeping the hotter air out.
>>24840213
>Pro's
Comfortable, strong, plenty of pockets and the thing will take a 50 MPH gust of wind like a whore takes dick, it doesn't give a shit. You'll be toastier than... well, toast.
>Cons
I haven't really found any. I love mine. I have the one with the large pocket on the chest though, I prefer that one.
>Where to buy
Frontowiec.com or Varusteleka.
Why do people like these?
They aren't camo, and look like wind breakers.
I'm being serious right now. If members of IS are wearing them, they're probably legit and have been vetted.. as they kind of fight everyday..
but why???
>>24844428
Slavboo autism is why.
Man .... I want one of the Afghanistan-Era gorkas that the Special Forces used
Pic related
They're heavy, don't breath, aren't really water-proof and are undestroyable. If you want a good modern suit for camping or hunting I'd go with something Western. If you want one for the novelty go for it, they're bretty cool.
>>24844625
Raiden....
>>24844751
Huh? What?
Get something good and get a Witterjngsschutzjacke 09: http://www.a-shop.ch/product.php?id_product=210.
Best jacket ever, keeps you dry and warm. First thing I did in it was walk up a steep hill and then sit at the windy top. I didn't have to adjust the zipper once beyond some cm for comfort (all longer jackets tend to ride up when sitting)

What size would I get of a gorka as a female that's only 5'4 and 120 lb?
>>24845012
We will need a photograph of your boobs to determine the girth to find the correct size
>>24845012
Probably the smallest one available, then get it tailored.
>>24840222
Soviet-Power is shit.
>>24845012
Use the size chart on soviet-propaganda.
Can I wear it in Urban environments and not look autistic
>>24845454
No. Wearing ANY windbreaker in 2015 will make you look autistic or slav tier.
>>24845012
>female
You spelled "trap" wrong, Anon.
You're welcome.
>>24845476
They'll probably come around again in about 10-15 years, though.
>>24845454
I wear mine to work when it's cold outside, and no one gives a fuck.
>>24844625
Actually that photo was proven by someone not to be soviet afghan.
>>24845488
Definitely. By them time I'm 40 my kids will think it's the coolest thing ever to wear baggy clothes and wind breakers again.
I outgrew my baggy clothes phase in '05, so it's only fair I deal w/ a teenager doing it.
>>24845567

Who are they then? Because from the photos, I thought they were

Negative.
The Afghanka is the khaki cotton field uniform that was standardized in the 1980s for the regular forces. It has a layout similar to American BDU like pic related.

Just got my Gorka 4 in from Varusteleka.
I love their company, for an international order and a shitty storm we had, it got here a lot faster than i thought it would.
Just put in another order in to them, Gotta get that Vita Cola and a warmer Anorak.
120Euro/140 USD doesn't seem overpriced to me. But then again i wanted the real thing.
>>24845915
And this is the updated model which came out in 1984.
>>24845934
Hmm ..... I much like the other version better
>>24845931
The only "real" modern Gorkas are those made by SPOSN, in the sense that they are the official suppliers of the various specialized FSB and MVD units.
>>24845877
i dont get it
>>24845946
>>24845960
Then you never will.
>>24845966
If you're looking for a legit field uniform I recommend the Arc'teryx Leaf. It's a bit expensive but it's worth every penny, and you can wear it during winter and summer. I wore the leaf almost every day for three months in some serious arctic conditions in Northern Europe and I can tell you from experience that it is legit. Several European SF units are also equipped with this.
>>24845960
Because Spetznaz uses them
I wan't Gorka 4 as well but Frontowiec don't sell them. Anyone know if 'ussronline' can be trusted?

You most likely live in the south where camo is acceptable. North of the Mason Dixie line you'll look like an absolute idiot. In the south I see country boys wearing camo all day everyday. Moved to VA and I see NO ONE wearing it.
If I saw someone in camo here I'd think they were autists.
Back home? No big deal.
>>24846648
Do you realize where you are
>>24846686
Sadly on a board infatuated with an army/region that hasn't imposed their will in decades.
A board that romanticizes the AK, Mosin and SKS, but degrades the far superior AR.
A board who would recommend a Tokarev over a Glock.
All in all, I'm among pretty shit company, but occasionally they have decent advice.

>>24848114
True, but its not poorfag material like U.S. woodland either.
>>24848077
That and a lot of /k/, like myself, finds themselves wanting these things. Then realizing they'll never wear them out in public around people. Then struggling to find ANY situation where they'd used them, perhaps aside from innawoods, which many of us don't even have access to. But despite all that, we still want them. Just like I want my goddamn flektarn flak jacket that I can't think of any reason to have, besides wanting it.
That and at least, because these aren't camo, they're less likely to get weird reactions in public besides "that's an ugly jacket thing" which will probably never lead to any comments/conversation from strangers, vs various camo patterns, which are just begging for unwanted interactions with strangers

Are gorka 4's even legit, or is that just the numbering of one of the the cheaper clones?

The legit ones have letters after them instead of numbers, for example the Gorka E (the oak leaf camo ones) and Gorka C (looks identical to a Gorka 3, but brighter colored.)
>>24850556
sorry I meant that the Gorka C looks like a brighter Gorka 4, here's an example
>>24846585
they're like fucking combat onsies, you don't need a specific fit.
It's always going to be very loose fitting, that's how it was designed.
>>24850620
Onsies? But every gorka I've seen so far is like 2 piece?
>>24850692
I said "like" a onsei, the point is they're loose and really comfy, just look how comfy this fucker is

>>24845012
small gorka sizes are rare but i would say a 44/2 would be ideal for proper baggy. since you're a small grill i'd definitely get the closest one to your size or lower, definitely wouldn't oversize. these are meant to be worn over clothing and have a loose fit so if you didn't want to wear clothing under them then always size down
>>24850073
gorka 4 have the kangaroo pouch
>>24850712
Do you wear clothes under it and your gear over it?
Because oddly enough, I've seen pictures of Russian soldiers wear a gorka over all their gear
>>24850819
you wouldn't want to wear your mag pouches underneath, but you could probably wear body armor underneath if your pouches and stuff were separate.
>>24842856
lold
>>24850824
Ahh, so that explains it
It's too bad that innawoods.net doesn't have a gorka
Or anything in flora, digital flora, winter VSR, or any of the other Russian stuffs ...
Though they do have Russian woodland so there's that ....
