Description

Issued widely for decades, the Gorka (Горка) or "little mountain" is a favorite among Russian and ex-Soviet bloc forces. It is a tough three season suit which excels at shrugging off heavy use and rough conditions. Over the last three years, we've worked to bring the Gorka into the 21st century—resulting in two distinct lines of mountain suit. Originally designed for Russia's mountain troops, the Gorka concept spread rapidly. Its full coverage, generous cut, and high mobility won it quick and lasting adoption around the world. However, like many pieces of Russian military technology the Gorka had a neglect problem. After its introduction in the Soviet-Afghan war, the Gorka was never substantially modernized. Over the years Russian manufacturers made minor tweaks and updated camouflages, but the core design of the Gorka was left unchanged. 40 years is a long time in military technology, so in 2018 we introduced a suite of upgrades we called the "Gorka K."The K2 features Russian inspired patterning, Russian pocketing, and a simpler design with less moving parts. Overall, a much better fit & flexibility than the originals without tarnishing the iconic looks of the original mountain suit. With over half a decade of making Gorkas in the books with a highly experienced manufacturer in Russia, operations in making the suits later migrated next door to Uzbekistan, where the supply of materials can freely go in & out without that Russian Interference that the US Government cares so deeply about.  With the same staff & oversight as our former Russian-Made Gorkas as well as identical materials sourcing, the quality of the suits remains unchanged and still beats every other suit on the market. And we're still the only place that adds that enormous crotch gusset. In short, the Gorka is our largest labor of love in our entire catalog — from the design changes to working closely with our friends from Modox, the one and only KommandoStore Gorka is, we believe, the best Gorka you can get your hands on.   Trim and Tight Both our M and K series Gorkas feature integrated gaiters and blousing bands. Just pull them on—no snagging, no debris, perfect fit. First Line, Everytime Now compatible with modern combat belts thanks to a modified rise and reinforced belt line. Don't worry though, the suspenders still work Blowout Proof A generous crotch gusset ensures complete freedom of movement. Squat to your hearts content, your pants will be fine. Detail Oriented The little things add up. We used high quality trim and incorporated tons of small ergonomic improvements throughout the M1 and K2. 'Owl Neck' Hood Fully articulated hood delivers 180 degrees of unrestricted movement. Move naturally and it comes with you.
