REVIEW: DIRECT ACTION Vanguard Einsatzhose Note: The text is in German and appears to be a proper noun (brand name).

Direct actions? There, agility and speed matter, at least when it comes to the right pants for the job. DIRECT ACTION from Poland, whose gear we really like, has just released the Vanguard® Tactical Pants and is moving towards becoming a one-stop shop for all your gear needs. From plate carriers to pockets to uniforms - all in one place. We are pleased to present to you the DIRECT ACTION Vanguard® Tactical Pants fresh off the press.

Front view of the Vanguard® Tactical Pants: these pants are immediately noticeable as not your typical baggy combat pants, but rather cut very close to the body. They are designed for a well-trained, athletic body. The pants have a lot to offer those who fit the bill.

Let's start with the details at the top. The pants are closed with Velcro, and access to the man's best asset is made possible by a zipper.

DIRECT ACTION cares about your well-being. The pants are not high-waisted, but hip-hugging. To prevent chafing, there is a soft, padded layer sewn into the waistband. It's so comfortable, it could almost make you feel pampered...

We've attached a 35mm belt here. Normally, the loops on the pants are designed for 50mm belts.

The two front pockets are reinforced with Cordura in the corners so you can carry a knife without damaging the pants. We wouldn't expect anything less.

This is the configuration of the thigh pockets on the Vanguard® Tactical Pants. It consists of two parts: the front pocket has a zipper, while the rear pocket is Velcro-secured.

As you can see, we weren't lying - there is a zipper. The positioning is very well done because the pocket can be easily accessed even in a car.

And accessing the equipment inside is a breeze.

The front pocket has an inner compartment that is ideal for storing your smartphone. You can also try fitting an M4 magazine...

...but the space is limited. However, for items that need to be easily accessible, it works perfectly.

The rear pocket has a flap that can be Velcroed shut. Magazines, water bottles, or even your coffee fit perfectly.

The elastic band around the hem keeps your belongings secure. The pocket can be worn open.

Side view: Here you can clearly see the slim cut of the pants. It fits well without flapping.

The knees are reinforced with Cordura, providing protection when kneeling. DIRECT ACTION also offers Neoprene pads that fit here. You can also cut a piece of foam to size. If you prefer knee pads with harder protectors, you can simply strap them over the pants.
