Costume "Hill" - reliable weather protection

The cold season makes everyone think about high-quality clothing that protects from the cold. Costumes "Hill" - a special category of warm kits for the severe tests of cold, wind, rain and friction.

Costume "Hill" in recent years has become a hallmark of the wardrobe of the military. Different types of models allow to expand the range of use. Thus, the “slide” suit can be seen on the machine gunner, the FSB operative, a special group sniper and ordinary soldiers.

Constant improvement of the costume led to its spread outside the military forces. Gorka has become the choice of tourists, hunters, fishermen, paintball and hardball lovers.

The costume got its name for a reason. The history leading us to the USSR already knew about this equipment.

The first name "Slides" - Encephalitis costume. This model originated in the Soviet Union in the 70s and was exclusively civilian. Tourists climbed high mountains in it, builders worked in taiga areas, and fishermen and hunters spent their leisure time in warmth and comfort.

The military also needed a similar suit. Having improved the encephalitis suit, they created a new model called “mountain windproof suit”. Models of that time were actively used in the war with Afghanistan, protecting Soviet soldiers from rain, cold and freezing wind.

The main advantage of the “Gorka” suit is wear resistance. This feature is achieved thanks to:

• reinforced overlays on the shoulder area and elbows;
• tailoring of fabrics with special strength, for example, a harsh tent material, a membrane;
• availability of cargo pockets;
• the content of natural fibers that allow the body to breathe;
• free cut;
• camouflage print.

The "Gorka" model is currently popular not only among men, but also women and children are happy to try on such costumes.

Depending on the time of year when the "Hill" is used, the costumes are divided into winter and demi-season.

Demi-season models are made of various fabrics. So, the upper fabric is blended materials consisting of cotton and polyester. Their properties prevent creasing, fouling, and the unique “rip-stop” structure does not allow tearing on the fabric to grow.

Demi suits for tourists are sewn from the high-quality Alov membrane. This material, made of polyester, perfectly protects from wind, cold and rain thanks to the impregnation of the seamy side.

The model range of suits is presented by various complete sets.

• Thus, the model "anorak Bars" from the production Bars company includes anorak jacket and pants with suspenders. It is worth saying that the kit is really popular.With no lightning, the anorak jacket does not allow gusts of wind to provide warmth and comfort in the harshest conditions.

• Has found its regular customers and production company "Triton". The suits of this company are designed for tourism, hunting and fishing. Creating a demi-season and winter models, "Triton" provides a stylish look to the owner thanks to various color solutions from classic khaki to rich blue. The temperature regime of winter models is up to -40 degrees.

• Speaking of winter models, not to mention Huntsman and suit "Hill" firm "Angara". The jacket and pants are made in the best traditions of the classic "Slides". The model withstands up to -30 degrees of frost due to the Radetex heater, membrane and fleece on the jacket

The suit for the strongest loads in field conditions was the “Hill” with overlays of durable Nylon fabric. Pads, not differing from the main fabric of the suit, create increased wear resistance without disrupting camouflage colors.

Another high-strength variety is the Hill 5 suit with elbow pads and knee pads. Strengthening of fabric is reached by two and three layers of fabric. The material throughout the suit has a density of 240 g / m2 and a special rip-stop structure.

Lighter models come from the membrane. So, the winter lightweight model has as a heater a holofiber and software that makes the suit non-volumetric and almost weightless. With all the visual subtlety, winter membrane suits withstand temperatures up to -25 degrees. The fleece layer that complements the kit effectively cope with the task of the intermediate layer, which retains heat and removes excess moisture, leaving the skin dry.

Today the Gorka suit is made by many firms. Their styles differ, but the MultiCam remains unchanged and popular. The combination of brown, beige, black and khaki can mask the costume holder in natural conditions, making it invisible when hunting.

Each suit color has its practical meaning.

• For example, black models with overlays on a lighter tone provide a splitting of a person’s silhouette at remote distances.
• A wide range of colors reveals the category of "camouflage". Fog, cartoons, dark winter camouflage, snake motifs and others are presented in this series. Here you can find not only a costume for camouflage, but also a really stylish model.
• Classic colors is shade khaki. Its practicality and non-markiness make it especially common among fishermen and army units.

Being in search of a real and high-quality "Slides", pay attention to major suppliers, for example, Rafting, Titanium, Bars and others. Each of them has its own website with a detailed description of all models, as well as a convenient form for ordering.

Large companies are attentive to the quality, so choosing any manufacturer from the above listed, you can make the right choice. However, each of the firms has its own characteristics. So, Rafting is distinguished by lower prices, Bars specializes in military units, and in Titan you can find models for active rest in stylish colors and fashionable styles.

Speaking of styles, it is important to consider the specifics of the destination of the suit. For example, anorak jackets are famous for their greater endurance to the rain, because they do not have shoulder seams.

The cost of suits "Hill" varies significantly. Prices start moving up from 2000 rubles and end with a mark of 11,000 rubles. Such a significant difference is related to the seasonality of sets, as well as the year of production. Each season, “Gorka” of leading domestic manufacturers undergoes changes, for example, Camouflage Ru company tracks customer feedback and takes into account shortcomings. Models of 2015 are significantly lower than the new 2016 season.

Reviews about the costumes "Gorka" delight their positive.The happy owners are warm and comfortable, the free and thoughtful cut does not hinder movement, and the water and windproof fabric meets the stated requirements.

Users note the heavy weight of the product. But, putting it on, in most cases the weight discomfort is not felt due to the fleece lining and elastic bands, which make the model neat.

Buying a suit "Hill" and using it for its intended purpose, the owners are wondering about washing. For many, it becomes fatal, and all the fault of inattention to the labels on the product. So, Gorki lovers, taught by bitter experience, note that after washing in hot and warm water, the model shrinks and the washing machine adversely affects the colors, sometimes turning monochrome khaki into camouflage.

The cost of products in stores is not happy buyers, because more and more often exceeds 10 000 rubles. Internet users are satisfied with the prices, and all thanks to the actions and sales of manufacturers, the elimination of old-style costumes and other moments that are beneficial to buyers.
