Hey fellers, /k/unt here.
I'm going trekking into the Peruvian Andes in 3 weeks and putting together some kit.
Anyone recommend the PCU system of clothing for such a trek? It was developed for special forces in the dry, high and cold mountains of Afghanistan.
I plan on getting the hardshell, the baselayer and a fleece.
Also open to other gear, heard good things about the Russian Gorka mountaineering suit.
Gorka is a windproof cover only. It provides no better insulation than a civvie jaclet and trouser and is not waterproof.

Doesn't look like any suit I ever wore before. Looks like a chink knock off.

I have the SPOSN Gorka, and I was gonna take a Patagonia hard shell into my daypack in case it rains really hard.

I'm wary of anything not made by SPOSN or ANA.

civil oudoorgear is superior. a privatperson can afford better materials.

But it seems expensive and all made in shitty Asia.
At least military specified gear is made in the USA.
I can't justify spending over $100 on some Asian shit.

You must cheat on your taxes bud but most people don't have $200 in the bank

Yeah forget about that faggot military autism and terminology and start looking into actual useful gear for mountaineering.
Military shit is passable at best save some exceptions. It's cheap shit given en masse to soldierslaves like kids in a school.

not always anon.
its really about the procurement system in stead.
the military has some high speed shit sometimes.
if your fortunate enough you'll get O.E.M. stuff and not the shit made by the "ohio prison for blind dyslexic lesbians".
