Trouser Articulation & Features
Kommandostore Gorka K2s are constructed using Russian NYCO 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 keep the traditional buttoned fly, but feature upgraded slot-mounted TPU buttons 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.
This batch of Gorkas (made in 2020) will very likely be the last of their kind.
Due to the disruption in manufacturing during the COVID-19 Pandemic and the war in Ukraine, getting Gorkas to the USA was almost impossible. Almost.
Genuine Russian goods simply aren't making it out of Russia anymore, especially not to the USA.
Do a little math and you might realize how long it took us to produce them during a pandemic, and sneak them out of a country we're at proxy-war with.
But we never gave up. And boy, were these worth the wait.
We simply couldn't let Gorkas die at the hands of a few regulations and sanctions here and there. We had our ways, and a customer base that stuck with us for the entire rollercoaster.
If you're one of those people, thank you. We love you.
We spent ages jumping through every imaginable hoop to make sure Gorkas would get here in one piece, Cold War 2.0 or not.
And the work paid off. We ended up with the best outcome possible: A truly Russian-Made Gorka with no corners cut.
We can say it with absolute confidence: These are one-of-a-kind. And they're the best Gorkas in the whole world.

The KStore Gorka series has been absolutely fantastic, especially the pants(have all but the mtp) Extremely comfortable, plenty of pocket space and most importantly, ample room for slav squats. Im hoping Ivan has some things in the works for more Gorka restocks down the road
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
This has got to be one of the greatest pairs of pants I have ever owned, I look forward to the adventures to be had in these they work excellently, and I can already tell you I am debating being buried in these they will probably last that long.
I’ve never found a pair of pants I love quite like these. I love them so much I ordered two more pairs to keep as backups. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had a zipper fly like the M1s but I’m fine with buttons. Between wearing my M1s all winter and these all summer I can say Kommandostore gorkas are perfect for any weather.
The suit is great. I never thought I would see a button fly in my life. Speaking of the fly I feel really need to a piss I feel like I might piss myself since I struggled getting it open. But I just need to to used to it.
