Hey /out I'm having a hard time actually finding out what the difference between a Gorka 3 and a Gorka 4 is. Would any of you know? I was wanting to pick a suit up for my long term hiking and backpacking trips but couldn't actually find what the difference is.

Dont do it bud, great for winter and larping but ridiculously heavy, not waterproof and hot for any state that winter isn't 70% of the year.

Your a fagit.
Gorka great for lower temperatures, correct.
Gorka not waterproof? Wax it.
Gorka protects u from wind and rain if treated properly.

No shit heavy cotton protects from wind. It doesn't protect from water, unless you make wax cotton out of it (which will have the breathability of a plastic bag).

You dont have to wax it like a retard, u know you can apply the wax accordingly to your needs you stupid faggit. Go once over it, go twice or go 10 times to make it a plastic bag.
You want to be rainproof, take wax.
You want to be waterproof, take a poncho you stupid retard.

The only retard here is you wearing waxed cotton like we haven't had superior fabrics for decades.

Not the guy you're replying to but I think waxed cotton gets a bad rap. It IS heavy as fuck but but feels way cooler than any modern membrane stuff I have owned.

Gorka 3 was for closure of all the unanswered questions at the end of Gorka 2: The Gorkaning. Gorka 4 was just a cynical attempt to make money of nostalgia for the original Gorka Trilogy.

Just a thought, but wouldn't you want a different type of layer (hot or cold gear depending on the weather you're out in) and one of these? You could even wax it if you're worried you're going to be out in monsoon weather.

I own and wear often gorka 3 from bars, from what i know gorka 4 has shitload of small changes and improvements over 3. Generally the same but different things like more user-friendly buttons, kangaroo-style belly puch thing, etc. Just vist BARS website, its all listed: http://gorka-bars.com/
