Tactic-9 Gorka field trousers, brown

The loose-fitting Gorkas are commonly used by Russia's more elite fighting units. These are not made for the parade grounds but developed to be purely practical. We sell jackets and trousers separately, here are the trousers. These Tactic-9 made brown Gorkas are made of a bit lighter fabric than most others, resulting in a very summery feel.

Gorka trousers are probably among the best field trousers we've seen, and especially fit for people who like simple, durable stuff. These are very popular in Russia among all kinds of outdoor-types besides the military, and for a reason!

Features

• Roomy cut for unrestrained movement.
• Button fly, large belt loops, and suspender loops for M-1950 style suspenders (suspenders not included).
• Reinforced knees, seat and shins.
• Elastics on the waist and around the calves.
• Two large cargo pockets, two back pockets, and a normal slash pocket on the sides. A notable feature is the loss-proof cargo pocket closure system where the pockets fold in a way that closes the mouth completely.
• All in all there isn't a thing you couldn't repair if you own buttons, a needle, and thread!

Materials

The Gorka is made from a base layer of cotton, in the style of the old Plash Palatka rain capes. The Gorka is water repellent to some extent when new, but not a straightforward rubbery rain suit, thus it breathes well. Still, do not treat this as a waterproof garment - it isn't one. The Tactic-9 Gorka is not as windproof as many others thanks to the slightly less densely woven fabric, but does breathe better, making it more appropriate for warm weather use.

All hard-wearing areas are reinforced with a strong polycotton blend, either ripstop reinforced or not, this varies from one pair to the other. Machine washing at 40 degrees is fine, please note that the base color fades a bit over time, just like memories of better times.

Not lined in any way, which makes the suit wearable both in the summer and winter. It's recommended to wear appropriate layered clothing or a field uniform underneath.

Sizing

First the traditional Russian size, then the same converted to centimeters - first height, then waist circumference. It's not the end of the world if you pick a size larger than you'd normally wear. Likewise, if you're a few cm off from the recommended height to any direction, don't worry, it'll fit.

Our model is 175 cm tall with a waist circumference of 84 cm and wears a size 48-4 (176 / 84) garment. There's enough room for a nice thick pair of long johns underneath.

All Russian made

These are made by the Russian company Tactic-9, the same manufacturer who does all the Jagel camo stuff we sold. These are made in Russia.

Availability

Availability is a bit unpredictable - we can't give any estimates of a restock. Likewise, no idea about the sizes we get. What we do know is that the amounts are small.
