The Gorka wasn't designed to be pretty. It was designed for the mountains: thick tent canvas that blocks the wind, a loose cut that leaves room for three layers underneath, and reinforcements where the fabric rubs against rock. That's why it has become a Russian milsim classic.
The jacket is an anorak: it pulls on over the head, with no full-length zipper to get caught in the straps of a vest. The hood is integrated, featuring a central section made of denser tent fabric. The absence of shoulder seams eliminates the classic tear point in this area. As for pockets: two on the arms with velcro closures, two large side pockets with buttons, one chest pocket with two buttons, and inside, a document holder with a velcro flap.
The trousers are high-waisted — they cover the lower back when squatting. The back pockets and sleeve flaps are cut in a triangle, a detail that prevents the corners from folding over. There is elastic at the ankles, elastic behind the knees to adjust the height, and a drawstring at the bottom of the leg adjustable to three positions. Two classic pockets, two buttoned cargo pockets, and two rear pockets.
The fabric is stated to be 270 g/m² rip-stop, 80% polyester and 20% cotton, windproof and splash-resistant — not suitable for sustained rain. Regarding sizing, the supplier uses the Russian notation: the first number is the chest circumference divided by two, the second group (3-4 or 5-6) indicates height, 3-4 for average height and 5-6 for larger builds. No centimeter equivalents are published: write to us if you are unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read Russian sizes?The first number corresponds to the chest circumference divided by two: RU 48-50 is intended for approximately 96 to 100 cm of chest circumference. The second group indicates height: 3-4 for an average build, 5-6 for a tall build. The supplier does not publish a chart in centimeters.
Should I order a size up?The cut is already loose, intended for layering. The supplier recommends following the size chart rather than your usual habits and warns that manual measurements may vary by 2 to 4 cm.
Is it waterproof?No. The supplier describes a windproof fabric that repels splashes, but not rain gear. In a downpour, you need a poncho over it.
Does the jacket open all the way?No, it is an anorak: it pulls on over the head. This is intentional — nothing gets caught under a tactical vest.
Are the suspenders mandatory?No, they detach via buttons. They are used to hold up the high-waisted trousers when the cargo pockets are loaded.
