Don't people really understand the sizing? It's not that baggy unless you fuck up and get two sizes too big.

I like the plain color one, it looks like a diver suit. This is all I can say based on my uninformed opinion.

>>33618616
I have an older generation SSO Gorka R and I fucking love it. I use it all the time for hiking in the fall and winter. I think is superior to the BARS versions everyone seems to be running nowadays. Better colours, better stitching and overall build quality...

I personally prefer having the button down jacket version as its easier to unbutton if you start warming up too much.

>>33619089
That's not even bad by russian standards.

>>33619038
Is it close to the color in the OP pic?

Never held one, but they basically look like a Carhart in camo patterns made from a canvas/ technical fabric blend. I feel like I would sweat my balls off in one just hiking, let alone oper8n

>>33618616
Im pretty sure bars gorkas are actually higher quality
Since they are the company that actually invented it

>>33619725
SSO stuff is nicer because they're a private company that designs and sells high speed Russian gear, while BARS basically only exists for Mil/LEO contracts. Buying BARS is essentially buying USGI while SSO is like LBT.

i bought a bars gorka 4 suit for snowboarding in warmer weather. it works really good and looks great, but the buttons are really easy to snap off. if you reinforce them the suit will last forever.

the Sposn gorkas are the overall best, an ANA are pretty good as well. the fleece lined gorkas are the overall best in build quality and duribility

however bars gorkas are the easiest to come by and are normally in the normal earth colors, not all the crazy camos like the other brands

i prefer the jacket type op.

Everytime I see gorkas I think back to my paintball days when everyone would get the flyest colors and best knee pads for better sliding and working in tight spaces. Kind of just want to wear a pair of raza pants. look you can even get them in tiger stripe. I've seen these pants and have used them for years before any problems. We're talking about actively sliding over concrete and brush, catching on glass moving past windows, pockets for squeegies and other shit...

I guess what I'm asking is what keeps someone from preferring paintball gear over this military gear? I understand gorkas arent really gearqueer levels of obsession but they're still pretty popular and they look like comfy pullovers.

Pic related, I used these JT sliders from the late 90s to early 2000s. Constant use as a ref and player, smashing the fuck out of them.
Not my picture, but the only think that's missing is a bit of orange sewing to resecure the left knee. The pads aren't as thick as you'd think, but thats where actual kneepads come in; and I dont mean hardshell.

>>33619847
And to follow that, I used these GI sports knee and shin guards which fucking rocked. There is nothing like jumping through an open window, falling into broken glass and going "oh im fine, fuckin' nice"

So I suppose what is a good website to order a gorka through? Not trying to use ebay or etsy or some former soviet IP that will get me murdered in my bed only to wake up to a horse head.

>>33619089
Only time uniformity is important is for parades.

>>33619828
Kk what about just basic use, like just usint the gorka as a jacket for walking around, is the bars that much worse?

>>33620409
>Only time uniformity is important is for parades.

And during any kind of UO where the rapid identification of enemy combatants is vital to the survival of your men. Or in any similar situations really.

Its also a discipline and professional pride thing.

You're right, I would say wouldn't PT belts solve the problem and your short answer will be a no, even so from that original pic I don't think there'll be too much of a problem of differentiating between enemy combatants and friendlies.

SSO SPOSN > BARS

There's a reason the SPOSN costs more than the BARS.

As for being a meme? Well... depends. Are you a Russian operatin operationally? Then it's not a meme. If your play operatin with yer paintball or airsoft gun then ya might be a memer.

>>33620413

For walking around you'll be fine with the bars. If you're going operating then I'd pony up the duckets and get the SSO.

I bought me some winter Gorka when I was in Russia, granted I went for a shittier one for 2800pyб (about $40) as opposed to the better ones for 4500pyб (about $65)
It was nice, really comfortable and durable, although I kept having buttons fall off, but that's probably because it was a cheaper one. It's really nice for early spring, late fall when everything is brown and temperatures are between 30 and 50 degrees.
Ended up selling it to a friend for 800pyб because I needed the extra cash and I didn't have much space for it in my bags when I came home. Kinda wish I kept it tho.

I should drive over to my parents' house and raid their fridge in milsurp. Now I have my dinner plans.

Does anyone know a decent place to order and not get screwed over?

How about this place?:

why not just get soft shell pants / jacket? I have a gorka and I never use it for anything because even in light snowfall it started to get soaked surprisingly quickly.

This kind of shit makes the difference between cheap BARS and more expensive and harder to find SPOSN.

BARS are made by some commies akin to a factory that produces pairs of two left foot boots because no one gives a shit and SPOSN is a real private company with it's reputation in stake where Tatyana really pays attention to triplestitch the seams.

Was looking to buy one of these sets before winter this year but they all shipped from Russia and it was like 4-6 weeks delivery which was homosexual. So i got a flecktarn and a alpenfluge jacket. Fuckin alpen one was only $13 and is practical and quality as fuck.

119 dollarinos, both shops know each other and compete with prices so they are identical.
But you are looking at like 50 bucks shipping so the 175 dollar ebay price is pretty accurate.

>>33621847
I've ordered from them before. No problems but it took about six weeks for my order to clear customs and ship out.

>>33623074
Cool, you remember how much your shipping costs were?

About $50.

I have a BARS Gorka 4 which I use as a pullover suit over my regular outdoor clothes when I hunt, sort of like camouflage. I ain't ever been made, so I think it's working just fine.
Just, it's really not wind- or anythingproof, so I wear softshell under it and fleece under that and maybe cotton or mesh under that and wool under that. I'm looking to buy a Fjellduk for if it gets really cold or there's rain in the air.
When people say the Gorka is warm, I laugh so hard that my ass starts laughing too. Be warned, it is not very warm at all, and definitely not if you're posted innawoods for hours on end and it's late autumn.

I have a SPOSN Gorka S. I have never held a BARS gorka, so I can't really compare. I do know that the coloring on the SPOSN is lesss "two-tones" than the BARS. it looks almost 1 color.

BARS < SPOSN < SPLAV

I would steer clear of those 50 dollar Mozdok gorkas. But they have also legt BARS and SPOSN.

One thing does not give me rest.
If Gorka is popular enough in the US, then why nobody start its production? There is no need for rocket science to sew it...

>>33629165
Because it's easily available from Russia via Internet.
Real question is why is no one buying them in large amounts from Russia and reselling them from US or EU so the biggest downsize of very long shipping times gets solved.

>>33629091
i am going to buy a Sposn gorka from this shop

still choosing between Gorka E and Gorka P

>>33629215
Boils down do you want a camouflage one or one you could wear without looking like a tryhard.
I would buy a non camo one first so I could use it more often in more situations.

Are the camo ptaches just normal camouflage cloth or reinforced too? In that case the camo ones may be little more breathable.

Gorka P = R, C = S, stores mix cyrillic and western letters all the time.

Special Russian shop and grey shop, also ebay.
And I totally agree with the paintball pants, they were protective but most of all comfy, in the winter I used to wear them around my house because they felt so nice and I think that's why I was attracted to gorkas.
I have a splav and a sposn. Both are awesome. The splav is made out of layers of ripstop while the sposn is canvas and j actually like the splav more, while the buttons on the sposn are awesome

I love the aesthetics and presumed comfiness of gorkas (I don't own any).

But aren't they cotton canvas? Cotton loses much of its insulation quality when it gets wet and takes very long to try, so I imagine gorkas get cold and damp pretty quickly.

Are there any gorkas made out of modern synthetic materials?
