La ropa es un elemento esencial del equipo necesario de operadores tácticos militares o aficionados a la supervivencia y el bushcraft pero también para la práctica de actividades de montaña o deportes outdoor como el senderismo y el trekking en condiciones adecuadas para asegurar el éxito en la misión.
Aunque los modernos uniformes Multicam MTP (Multi Terrain Pattern) Marpat o Digital resultan muy conocidos el Gorka ruso Горка acrónimo de Traje de Montaña o горный костюм (gornyy kostyum) es uno de los modelos que mejor rendimiento ofrece en terrenos montañosos y en climas extremos protegiendo del viento, el agua y el frío.
Probado con éxito en Afghanistan, Chechenia, Daguestán y más recientemente en la guerra de Ucrania, donde también se fabrican, el Gorka surgió como equipo de unidades de operaciones especiales rusas como Spetsnaz ( Cпецназ ) pero es un sobre uniforme fabricado por diversas firmas rusas como SPOSN ANA BARS KONDOR o BLOK POST en diversas variedades y versiones, algunas camufladas como el Gorka E y con algunas versiones ( modelo Partizan ) que recuerdan a los smocks utilizados por las SS alemanas durante las Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Por los materiales utilizados recuerda a la Plash Palatka o poncho soviético pero ha sido fabricado con una técnica moderna que lo hace muy resistente al agua, impermeable, y resuelve el problema tradicional de proteger al operador del viento y agua permitiendo su transpiración natural, de un modo diferente al Gore Tex.
Su adquisición fuera de Rusia o de las repúblicas de la antigua Unión Soviética resulta difícil y caro pero os dejo algunos enlaces útiles en los que podréis comprobar la diferencia de precios entre los distribuidores en Europa o América, incluso ebay o amazon, con el coste de ese mismo material en Rusia.

hello everyone having
adequate equipment to operate in
difficult terrain and in
complicated circumstances is essential, however I have
observed that while we devote
enormous attention to knives and
backpacks we forget some
basic issues, clothing that fits more to
aesthetic issues forgetting the
true conditions in which we are going
to operate in the market we can
find unlimited models starting
from the most modern multi cam to that we
would have to add the differences models
that each country provides us to the most
classic olive green or butt lahm
however One of the equipment that
will offer us the best performance
in the mountains or in a very rigorous climate
is the Gorka, which is hardly unknown
outside of Russia or the countries of the former
Soviet Union, so today I wanted to
share with you some of the
great advantages of this type of
tactical equipment, which can also be used
perfectly to practice
mountain survival bus craft activities,
first of all, tell you that the name
Gorka is the Russian acronym for
Gernika Sium mountain suit, which may
remind you of the suits they used. The
German soldiers during the Second
World War in the mountain areas
but the Gorka appeared during the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, it was a
solution that they had to put in place when they
arrived in Afghanistan with the
extreme climates that the
Soviet special units encountered from then on
because Various improved versions began to come out,
making the
gorka one of the best options
for high mountains, starting from the
Caucasus to the most humid forests of the
Baltic. You will
surely have seen in Chechnya,
Dagestan or very recently in Ukraine,
Russian soldiers using the
basically it is a The
uniform is made to protect the
operator from the wind, cold,
rain, therefore its dimensions are
quite generous and very comfortable to
wear. It is made up of two parts:
pants and an anorak. There are many types
of models, one for example that I have
here this one. As you can see, it
is closed on the front and
includes a pocket, but generally
the gorkas come
open on the front. It
is made with a very strong and
resistant cotton cloth that sometimes, if you
saw it up close, it would remind you of the
levers. classic trench coats that
Soviet soldiers used to
protect themselves from rain, wind and
cold and it also incorporates protection
in some parts in the elbow pads on the
shoulders made of polyester that
greatly reinforces these parts that I have already
pointed out so that it lasts with wear and tear.
much more so whether on land or by our
own equipment than when it comes to rubbing because it wears
out. I
have to clarify that we use Goretex and it
is not necessary because due to the shape and
materials used when
manufacturing it, it is very resistant to water but
to the Once it breathes, it is a
traditional solution to a traditional problem:
isolating the water, allowing it to
breathe naturally. Another of its
advantages is its configuration. It has
exterior pockets placed in such a way
that they are easy to access even with
the belt or vest on.
All buttons and closures are
protected and reinforced, although some
are a recent addition to the
style of Western uniforms, on
the other hand, it has several
elastic tensioners that adjust the gorka to the body
without limiting our mobility. Another great,
very practical detail is the suspenders on the
pants, simple and effective in their
function.
The very large cap deserves a special mention
because it is
designed to be worn even with the
ballistic helmet on. We are going to put it on,
as you can see, well protected and if we cannot
adjust it with the hooks to
our head and thus we are well
protected, it even incorporates a visor.
For the issue of water from wind and rain,
one of Gorka's problems is the great
variety of models that there are and to that we
must add that each manufacturer, which is a
huge number of
Anna Bars Sport, gives it its small or not
so small personal touch in each
model starting with the work three of the
classic which I take to models like
the gorka in which they have been camouflaged
we can even find models as
surprising as the partizan that
inevitably reminds us of the mox
of the ss during the second
world war To this great variety of models
from manufacturers we must add the loss
of color that we can have if we do not
take enough care of it to see the
mountain we can end up having a shovel
here or it is a color very similar to khaki,
therefore we must always wash them
with cold water and using vinegar if we
could not have a
perfect suit very suitable for
snow areas and one more piece of advice is to
dry it in a vertical position and as
always I like to clarify the issue of
prices
it is very difficult to find
Russian products in Europe or in America and if a
distributor dares, then the costs
skyrocket. I have seen some models in
our area starting at 120 euros and
if we want a more specific model or one that is
resistant to extreme cold, the prices
skyrocket starting at 200 euros,
which are about 230 dollars and on ebay
we can find a slightly lower
price but depending on the condition,
the cheapest one I have seen
cost 90 euros and its real price in
Russia starts at 30 euros.
The model I have cost me 39
euros and I have to say that it has a fleece lining
inside, it is very warm,
very resistant, but the problem that
arises when buying directly
from Russia is that the shipping cost prices
skyrocket so we have to
have some contact to help us with
This process or thing becomes complicated and the
truth is that it is a shame because it
is really a very resistant tactical suit that is
fashion-proof and without taking into
account that if we are in the forest we do
not come across trees or they do not
get caught or thrown and it does not break down, that
is what I say from my own experience, it is
very resistant and nothing more than that
to show more as always I will give you all
the information I hope it has been
useful and if you have any questions
write to me and I will gladly answer and as
always see you soon
