Suit "Gorka" - reliable protection against bad weather

The cold season makes everyone think about high-quality clothing that protects from the cold. Suits "Gorka" - a special category of warm sets for severe tests of cold, wind, rain and friction.

The Gorka suit has become a hallmark of the military wardrobe in recent years. Various types of models allow you to expand the range of use. Thus, the “hill” suit can be seen on a machine gunner, an FSB operative, a sniper of special groups and ordinary soldiers.

The constant improvement of the suit has led to its spread outside the military forces. "Gorka" has become the choice of tourists, hunters, fishermen, paintball and hardball lovers.

The costume got its name for a reason. The history that takes us to the USSR already knew about this equipment.

The first name of "Gorki" is Encephalitic suit. This model originated in the Soviet Union in the 70s and had an exclusively civilian purpose.Tourists climbed high mountains in it, builders worked in the taiga regions, and fishermen and hunters spent their leisure time in warmth and comfort.

The military also needed a similar suit. Having improved the encephalitic suit, they created a new model called the “mountain windproof suit”. Models of that time were actively used in the war with Afghanistan, protecting Soviet soldiers from rain, cold and freezing wind.

The main advantage of the Gorka suit is wear resistance. This feature is achieved thanks to:

• reinforced pads on the shoulder area and elbows;
• tailoring from fabrics that are particularly durable, for example, harsh tent material, membrane;
• the presence of cargo pockets;
• the content of natural fibers that allow the body to breathe;
• free cut;
• camouflage print.

Model "Gorka" today is popular not only among men, but also women and children are happy to try on such costumes.

Depending on the time of the year when the "Gorka" is used, the suits are divided into winter and demi-season ones.

Demi-season models are made from various fabrics. So, the upper fabric is a mixture of materials consisting of cotton and polyester. Their properties prevent creasing, washing, and the unique rip-stop structure does not allow the tear in the fabric to increase.

Demi-season suits for tourists are made of high-quality Alova membrane.This material, made of polyester, perfectly protects against wind, cold and rain thanks to the impregnation of the wrong side.

The model range of suits is presented by various complete sets.

• So, the model "anorak Bars" from the production Bars company includes an anorak jacket and pants with suspenders. It is worth saying that the kit is really popular. With no zippers, the anorak is windproof, keeping you warm and comfortable in the harshest conditions.

• Found its regular customers and production Triton Co.. Suits of this firm are intended for tourism, hunting and fishing. Creating demi-season and winter models, "Triton" provides a stylish look to the owner thanks to various color schemes from classic khaki to deep blue. The temperature regime of winter models is up to -40 degrees.

• Speaking of winter models, it is impossible not to mention Huntsman and the suit "Gorka" of the company "Angara". The jacket and pants are made in the best traditions of the classic "Gorka". The model can withstand up to -30 degrees below zero thanks to Radotex insulation, a membrane and fleece on the jacket

The suit for the strongest loads in the field was the "Hill" with overlays made of durable Nylon fabric. Overlays, no different from the main fabric of the suit, create increased wear resistance without disturbing the camouflage coloring.

Another high-strength variety is the Gorka 5 suit with elbow and knee pads. Fabric reinforcement is achieved by two and three layers of fabric.The material throughout the suit has a density of 240 g/m2 and a special rip-stop structure.

Lighter models are produced from the membrane. So, the winter lightweight model has holofiber and soft as a heater, making the suit non-voluminous and almost weightless. With all the visual subtlety, winter membrane suits can withstand temperatures down to -25 degrees. The fleece layer that complements the set effectively copes with the task of an intermediate layer that retains heat and removes excess moisture, leaving the skin dry.

Today, the Gorka suit is produced by many companies. Their styles are different, but MultiCam remains unchanged and popular coloring. The combination of brown, beige, black and khaki is able to disguise the owner of the suit in natural conditions, making him invisible when hunting.

Each color of the costume has its own practical meaning.

• For example, black models with lighter tone overlays ensure that the silhouette of a person is broken up at remote distances.
• A wide range of colors reveals the category "camouflage". Fog, multicam, dark winter camouflage, snake motifs and others are presented in this series. Here you can find not only a disguise suit, but also a really stylish model.
• The classic color is khaki. Its practicality and non-staining makes it especially common among fishermen and army units.

When looking for a real and high-quality Gorka, pay attention to large suppliers, for example, Splav, Titan, Bars and others. Each of them has its own website with a detailed description of all models, as well as a convenient order form.

Large companies are attentive to quality, so choosing any manufacturer from the above, you can make the right choice. However, each company has its own characteristics. So, Splav has lower prices, Bars specializes in army units, and in Titan you can find models for outdoor activities in stylish colors and fashionable styles.

Speaking of styles, it is important to take into account the specifics of the purpose of the costume. For example, anorak jackets are famous for their greater endurance in the rain, because they do not have shoulder seams.

The cost of Gorka suits varies significantly. Prices start their upward movement from 2,000 rubles and end at 11,000 rubles. Such a significant difference is associated with the seasonality of the kits, as well as with the year of manufacture. Each season, Gorka of leading domestic manufacturers undergoes changes, for example, Camouflage ru monitors customer reviews and takes into account shortcomings. Models of 2015 are significantly lower than the novelties of the 2016 season.

Users note the heavy weight of the product. But, putting it on, in most cases, the discomfort from the weight is not felt thanks to the fleece lining and elastic bands that make the model neat.

When purchasing a Gorka suit and using it for its intended purpose, the owners are wondering about washing. For many, it becomes fatal, and inattention to the labels on the product is to blame.So, Gorka lovers, taught by bitter experience, note that after washing in hot and warm water, the model shrinks, and the washing machine negatively affects the colors, sometimes turning plain khaki into camouflage.

The cost of products in stores does not please buyers, because more and more often exceeds the mark of 10,000 rubles. Internet users are satisfied with the prices, and all thanks to the promotions and sales of manufacturers, the elimination of old-fashioned suits and other moments that are beneficial for buyers.
