How water resistant, and can I waterproof them with some spray on/rub on canvas water proofer? I am getting back into paintball and fall/winter is coming fast for the Pacific North West of the US, it gets pretty damp out this way and I'm looking for something I can lay and run through water logged foliage in without getting totally soaked in 45-55 degree weather.
hey, did you end up getting a gorka suit? and did you manage to make it waterproof? im also in PNW looking to run around the forest, so im pretty much in the same camp as you.@@imadequate3376
I’ve got a 4 that I got off Etsy and another one coming from grey-line. They’re bad ass. Way more versatile than the jungles and BDUs I had when I was in. Tougher too.
I stil have my Gorka 4 and i had it for many years and its stil in the same condition stil warm and confterbule.but i would like to have the bBlack Gorka 1 or newer ..and i live in sweden where the vinter can get very cold but this uniform you dont feal any cold its like its made for our cold vinter ...to bad our own M90 uniform is from the same material then we would not feal so cold in them...of course you put some extra clothes under but not to compare whit the Gorka where you almost can use only a Tshirt under.....I use to be a uniform collector i stil have many left most from French foreign legion i have the new British uniform but i wish i never sold my DPM uniform the British old uniform i like that uniform so much so maybe i buy that uniform again....i have a Russian vinter uniform a white. well and many more even a complett M59 our Green old system of uniform but its nice in a way to have everything in that collection from helmer to well every thing....i have a lot of back pack i have cantines to much to write here then i would make a comment long as a book..L.O.L....But my Gorka stays whit me and our cold vinter...Sorry for bad gramma and speling...:)
Hahaha. great review. I knew you would get one to review since we last talked. I've placed my order for a 60-5 and should be receiving it at the end of July, now I just can't wait. One thing I was not aware of, it not having the inner pant leg that tucks in your boots tic trap, I was under the understanding that the Gorka 3 and 4 pants were designed the same having that inner pant leg.
It’s even better than I thought, I’m glad I got one, now I want more lol. Yeah man, I’d like it to have that inner leg cuff, not sure why the 4’s don’t have it, but since you wear it over pants anyways, I guess you just tuck your inner pants into your boots, that’ll work the same. You won’t be disappointed in yours. It’s a great piece of gear brother!
@@oldtrooper8320 you mean the one that's still a free state? The one that hasn't given into the woke BS culture? I'm so sick of VT I'm considering moving to NH
@@oldtrooper8320 VT used to be cool. Now we can't even train as militia. Or train with others. Oh...but Norwich, the police, and military can. Just not us peasants.
@@vermontvermont9292 Damb brother. I’d get out too. Apparently they’ve forgotten the constitution up there. Missouri is a free state. That’s where we’re at now. C’mon down.
Im have only the choice of having the 3 height where its under 2" from being 5 '10. I wonder if i can use just a slightly shorter set? What does height details mean? Does it mean a shorter pants?
@@giovanni9065 there are companies out there that make them in a military uniform type material, that is lighter weight. This company is right here in the USA, and their Gorkas are lighter weight. ruthlesspaintballproducts.com/collections/ruthless-tactical-series
It is a green, they call it OD green, but it’s a lighter green. The Gorka in this video is a khaki greenish color, both will work with the ranger green and these will complement each other very well.
@@SurvivorMetalMan thank you so much for your reply. It honestly doesn’t look like OD to me but I understand cameras and youtube changes colors a lot…plus our perspective on colors and shades can be extremely subjective at times too but thank you for your response! There not a lot of pictures where the gorka is paired with ranger green online
Typical of the Russian philosophy, these suits are made from cheap materials and deemed "good enough". They will probably work a lot better in dry, Russian winters than in wet, humid conditions, where military gore-tex is a much better choice.

Very nice product, too hot for right now, but later this year it will come in handy. Thank you for sharing this.
Definitely for use in cooler and cold temperatures for sure.
I think there’s a lighter one. It’s a Gorka E I believe.
Dude, the SACRIFICES you make for us!!!!
Russian cold camo is settin you up good! Love the products brother
I’ve got a 4 that I got off Etsy and another one coming from grey-line. They’re bad ass. Way more versatile than the jungles and BDUs I had when I was in. Tougher too.
Hell Yeah Brother. Russian stuff Rocks.
It’s a solid piece of gear.
Very cool brother 🇺🇸
I'm going to check these out a little more
You won’t be disappointed if you get one.
Just ordered myself a BARS Gorka-4. Hopefully it fits perfectly! The Zone awaits.

Any tips to wash them?
I like it. I would love to see a review after a bunch of time in the field.
Stay tuned, most definitely will!

Nice ! very good review.
Thanks brother!
Good looking clothing 👍👍. Have a great week brother. Stay safe and keep ready 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘
You too brother!
Imma get one for Christmas this year so I can play airsoft in the cold winter months
I've always wanted one of these. Would work great here in VT.
I grew up in the state to your right. The one that’s not upside down. 😆They would absolutely be great in that climate.👍
@@oldtrooper8320 you mean the one that's still a free state? The one that hasn't given into the woke BS culture? I'm so sick of VT I'm considering moving to NH

Say Jack, that's a bad outfit! Seriously, very tempting.
It’s a sweet piece of gear.
Awesome video. Which gorka would you recommend for your first purchase? In South Dakota if that helps with the advice
Any of them that you like, they are all good.
What size did you choose? Im 6'2" 220lbs. Looking forward to getting my first Gorka-3, offered $100. we will see. Great Review
I’m 5’7” 175lbs and I got a size 50-5, which fits perfect.
I’m 6’1” (185cm) and 225 I’ve got a 60-6 it’s plenty big enough to layer under in winter and not so big in the warmer seasons to be bulky.
@Old Trooper listen to nick lowe cruel to be kind...we're in this together
First noticed these during the ukrain conflict. Looked like a perfect item of clothing for VTs weather.
Yep, and it would be a great piece of gear in your area.
Im have only the choice of having the 3 height where its under 2" from being 5 '10. I wonder if i can use just a slightly shorter set? What does height details mean? Does it mean a shorter pants?
looks like something that would work well here in Iowa
Yes, it for sure would.
The Arctic Leopard is the BARS Gorka 4, correct? I've been trying to look up the authentic ones
Yes, Bars is Arctic Leopard.
How are they for summer use. I live out in florida but I still want the water resistance, and tbh the style of the gorkas
It’ll work good, but it’ll be hot. Unless you get a Gorka suit made from lighter materials, these are made from heavy canvas.
Oh, then is there any models made for summer or tropical use?
@@giovanni9065 there are companies out there that make them in a military uniform type material, that is lighter weight. This company is right here in the USA, and their Gorkas are lighter weight.

is aliexpress gorka 4 good because I can't find it elsewhere?
I have no idea
I shop around at the same places lolz
hi can u tell me about the quality of Aliexpress Gorka 4? thx
I don’t know about Aliexpress stuff, send a link and I’ll take a look.
what about that intro song ? name / title ?
It’s from a band I played in, I wrote and played on it

Is this the same suit sold on greyshop as gorka 4 anorak by mordor tac?
No, this one is made by BARS, but they will be very similar.
Just wanted to ask since most of my stuff are ranger green and I’ve been thinking about getting a gorka…is you cap/hat ranger green as well?
It is a green, they call it OD green, but it’s a lighter green. The Gorka in this video is a khaki greenish color, both will work with the ranger green and these will complement each other very well.
@@SurvivorMetalMan thank you so much for your reply. It honestly doesn’t look like OD to me but I understand cameras and youtube changes colors a lot…plus our perspective on colors and shades can be extremely subjective at times too but thank you for your response! There not a lot of pictures where the gorka is paired with ranger green online
Do you would recommend the Gorka 4 suit for skiing?
I’m sure it would work just fine.
@@SurvivorMetalMan Ehm are the Gorka trouser normal trouser or do you carry them above the trouser like raincover?
@@KayxSy you can do either, but I wear them over pants.
@@SurvivorMetalMan But are they without something under it still comfortable?
@@KayxSy yes
Those panels look almost maroon in this video... they do not look black at all!!!
