Kommandostore Gorka K2s are constructed using Polycotton Ripstop fabric, which differs from many Gorkas on the market, and require a different care routine when cleaning is necessary.
Original Gorkas typically featured a high waist and single-seam crotch. It performed as good as it looked — like a potato sack.
We added an extra large diamond shape gusset that goes down to the knee, and lowered the rise to sit comfortably below the navel for a contemporary, high-mobility fit.
It looks and feels good even in the deepest slav squats.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Gorkas had an excellent original suspender design, but we upgraded the materials significantly with modern elastic and ripstop.
It retains it's original function with superb support and stays out of the way of your chest for all day comfort.
The waistband is incredibly stretchy. Even when you add or remove layers, your pants will accommodate.
We've also added extra elastic cuffs in the lower leg to remove snag hazards while retaining mobility.
Lastly, we've added leg stirrups and an inner gaiter seen in other types of Gorkas to keep the pant legs uniform around your footwear.
Large & Flexible TPU buttons mounted slot-style on the fly & pockets are practically unbreakable.
Thanks to their mounting, they're less prone to snapping off, and have the ability to slide up and down for even more flexibility.
Pockets feature flaps with covered buttons to stay snag free.
The K2 trousers did get a zipper fly after many requests but still feature upgraded slot-mounted TPU buttons at the top of the fly for long-term durability.
The belt loops are all 2", reinforced with ample bar-tacking to handle heavy belts & two-piece shooter's belts.
We've reworked the seam structure and size of the hood to accommodate a full range of motion.
It twists along with your head, and easily adjusts to your head using two shock cords.
The brim on Original Gorkas was flimsy, so we stiffened it to work as it should.
Large & Flexible TPU buttons on the fly & pockets are practically unbreakable.
We used "Slot Style" mounting so they are less prone to snapping off, and have the ability to slide up and down for even more flexibility.
Our jacket also features a dual heavy duty luggage zipper.
Two bands of elastic at the forearms slims down the jacket without restricting movement.
Shock cord adjustments at the waist and torso refine your fit even further, unlike the original Gorka's single drawstring waist.
Shock cord at the waist is kept out of the way with a keeper, ensuring you stay snag free.
The bicep pockets now feature a surface to place your favorite velcro patches.
Under-arm mesh venting keeps you cool in changing weather conditions.
Ripstop does as the name implies — It stops rips & tears dead in their tracks.
It's grid pattern aids in keeping damage contained, makes field repairs easier and greatly increases longevity of the suits.
The fabric has a blend of Polyester and Cotton — a perfect balance of durability and breathability.
TPU Hardware doesn't crack or shatter like traditional plastic buttons, and doesn't wear out over time like a metal snap would.
Thermoplastic Poly-Urethane Is known for its ability to resist abrasion, oils & grease, and it's excellent flexibility.
It makes for fantastic fastening hardware, and we used it all over our Gorka.
We specifically picked a high-strength bonded nylon to stitch the whole suit together.
"Bonded" describes the process of chemically treating the twisted yarn together prior to it's final "winding", resulting in high UV, Abrasion, and mildew resistance.
It's commonly used in heavy-duty applications on denim & leather products, and will hold up to all kinds of abuse on our Gorka.

Fantastic quality as usual, sizing isn’t as granular (no waist size selection) as the original run of gorkas was so the pants are a little more of a snug fit than my partizan K2. Doesn’t pose much of a problem when standing but does restrict movement some in awkward shooting positions and can make sitting a tad uncomfortable if you want to stretch out.

First off, if you’re looking at a Gorka suit, you already know what a Gorka suit is, and you’re probably here to buy a Gorka suit. This was my first one, but I think I’m hooked.
Blue Jean Operator already did a good review of the KLMK pattern suit, which I assume is of similar construction (I plan to pick one up if they’re still around in a couple weeks), but I did want to go over a few things. In person, the pattern is a lot darker and looks more natural than it showed up on my monitor. I also wanted to point out that although the website says it’s a Poly-Cotton blend, the tags say 50/50 Nylon/Cotton, which is better.
If you’re on the fence about which size to buy, I will say the fit is pretty generous. I probably could’ve sized down, but it’s not too crazy since it’s meant to fit kind of loose. Fabric is also pretty thick, so probably not a great choice for summer if you’re in a temperate climate, but will probably be comfortable in spring/fall.

Look forward to any weather excuse to wear it. Even putting kid on the school bus before sunrise. Makes umbrellas obsolete. Looking to add another color/camo version.
Dushman ain’t happy that it doesn’t fit our color code, but it’s the perfect pattern for poppin’ rock worshippers in red forest. Makes the bandits jealous and are comfortable enough to have made jammie status.
10/10, eagerly awaiting the MW2 Spetsnaz gorka.

The gorka is very high quality. It's ripstop material, however, not heavy tent material like the old suits. So, not great for up north in my opinion. Definitely not taking it to Alaska without some serious under layers but it's perfect for Arizona or Texas in the fall/winter timeframe or during a cold snap. It's warm enough for that, enough that you'd want it in your bag for Kalashbash but a bit too light on it's own for Finnish Brutality. I'd say it's a high quality piece of gear but not quite a real gorka. The pattern is great, looks just like the movies but it's basically a set of BDU's with a hood and suspenders. The suit is extremely comfortable too. I am a 2XL T-shirt, so I sized the top accordingly and it fits loose enough that I can wear a couple good under layers.
