>>1624714>droplets if you pour just a bit of water on themyeah but gorkas are clearly not shitty cotton hoodies lol
>confirmed for never using it in any real rainBut I do use it in "real" rain and it works great. Even if you soak the gorka in water by jumping into a river, it's so thin that it doesn't really retain any water (the water just kinda falls out from my experience and still functions fine as a shell) and sits away from the rest of your layers because of it's bagginess.
>cotton still tests like 10 times weaker for abrasion than nylon for the same weightWell yeah those are the types modern materials I was referring to
>i own a gorka 5 from splavthat might be your problem
you should stay away from airshit brands like splav; dig around a bit and find some reliable shady russian guy to send you milsurp if you have to.
also having gorkas designated by numbers just feels wrong to me
>heavy compared to modern softshells or even rain jacketsI've got a nice fancy PG raincoat and it weighs slightly less than a gorka but I would wear my slavic larp gear over that raincoat any day.
