The gymnast was worn exclusively with a belt with a single-toothed galvanized frame buckle and breeches in boots. On cloth or cotton breeches, the knee bends were reinforced with additional stitched fabric pads;
• bloomers (breeches) - summer (cotton) khaki and winter (cloth) dark blue;
• a summer cap and a winter helmet similar in design and colors to command staff samples but made of coarser and cheaper fabric;
• cap (including for wearing with a steel helmet) cotton khaki, without piping; in areas with a hot climate, instead of a cap, by Order of the NKVD of December 27, 1935, a cotton panama (subtropical helmet) of a protective color was installed for all personnel, in front - a cloth star of maroon or green color;
• single-breasted overcoat, coarse cloth, without buttons on the side. In cold weather, when intervening on guard, it was allowed to wear a sheepskin coat over the overcoat instead of an overcoat - a sheepskin coat or bekesha. The buttonholes on the overcoat are similar to the tunic ones.
