Direct Action is a combination of the highest quality materials, thoughtful construction, and comfort – I have no complaints whatsoever. These are the most comfortable pants I've ever had. Worth every penny – I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Direct Action Vanguard Combat Trousers - PenCott WildWood
Combat trousers in PenCott WildWood camouflage, crafted for maximum mobility during tactical maneuvers. Constructed from a durable NyCo Rip-Stop fabric that provides excellent tear resistance. Stretch panels made with elastic material improve wearer comfort. Knees are reinforced with 500D Cordura and include internal pockets for pads.
Durable and flexible construction
The main material is NyCo Rip-Stop fabric, composed of 50% nylon and 50% cotton, offering high resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage. In the areas of the knees, crotch, and seat, elastic and breathable stretch panels have been used to prevent the trousers from shifting and to improve freedom of movement.
The knee area is reinforced with 500D Cordura, providing increased tear resistance, and features pockets for internal knee pads. The pockets themselves are made of breathable polyester mesh, enhancing ventilation.
8 practical pockets
The model features a total of 8 functional pockets:
- two classic hip pockets with reinforced edges
- two front zippered pockets with internal organizers
- two thigh pockets with hook-and-loop closure
- two lower leg pockets, also secured with hook-and-loop fasteners
Spacious thigh pockets allow you to carry a large amount of gear. The flaps can be tucked inside and left open thanks to Velcro fasteners. The interior of the hip pockets is made of breathable mesh that helps remove fine debris. Their edges are reinforced with Cordura, which increases durability during daily use with tools such as a knife or multitool.
Adjustable waistband
Instead of traditional buttons, a YKK zipper fly and Velcro closure have been used, allowing for easy waist adjustment depending on the number of worn layers. The inner side of the waistband is lined with soft 3D Mesh polyester fabric, which minimizes the risk of chafing and enhances ventilation. Reinforced belt loops allow for comfortable carrying of even heavier tactical belts.
Tailored leg cuffs
The leg adjustment is done using Velcro straps located behind the knees and at the cuffs, allowing precise fit to both the body shape and worn knee pads.

PenCott WildWood camouflage
PenCott represents a sophisticated second-generation digital camouflage system, crafted by the British firm Hyde Definition. Its distinct feature lies in its tiered pattern framework, comprising micro-, meso-, and macro-patterns.
PenCott WildWood is a specific camouflage variant crafted for use in dense temperate woodlands, particularly in regions characterized by rich, layered vegetation typical of many European areas. It is an advancement of the GreenZone design, featuring a darker and more saturated color scheme, ideal for shadow-heavy, moist, and densely vegetated environments. The WildWood pattern leverages the unique PenCott framework that merges micro-patterning with realistic color disruption and sharp contrasts, effectively breaking up the outline at varying distances. Dominant hues include deep greens, olive tones, and subdued browns, offering excellent concealment in varied, shadowy vegetation.

The most comfortable pants I've worn so far – I definitely recommend them! The material and cut are superbly made, and even though they are fitted, they do not restrict movement. Direct Action — simply perfect.
-
Very comfortable, but they are not intended for professionals or work. The pants reflect a lot of light in night vision. Even though this is a top-tier product, it turned out to be a disappointment for me. They are more suitable for the shooting range or youth airsoft.
-
The most important advantages are excellent workmanship, very high-quality seams, and outstanding material. Whoever decides to buy will surely appreciate this brand. I definitely recommend them, worth their price!
-
These pants are really worth their – considerable – price. Excellent workmanship (although I noticed a slight fraying on one thread ;)), as well as careful selection of materials and threads. They are some of the very few widely available tactical pants that do not restrict movement, even though they're not too loose. The cargo pockets are placed at the right height and sewn so that even when stuffed, they don't get in the way when running. I definitely recommend this product.
-
Truly brilliant pants. High-quality fabrics, very carefully sewn, thoughtful and precise cut. They are very comfortable. The number of pockets is just right. It's a Polish brand—definitely worth their price. All advantages.
-
Great pants with many practical pockets, which do not cause any problems during movement or driving a car. The size matches the description. The price is high, but for those who need such comfortable and well-fitted pants, it's worth considering them.
-
The pants are well made, using high-quality materials such as NyCo, Cordura, and stretch, placed exactly where needed. This makes them comfortable and durable. They are a great alternative to much more expensive models from other brands, which are also made from the same materials and feature the original Multicam camouflage. The well-thought-out pocket layout lets you keep all your necessities close at hand. They could be slightly wider in the thighs, but that's a matter of personal preference. I recommend them!
-
The pants are carefully made from high-quality materials with different properties. The use of NyCo, Cordura, and stretch in the appropriate areas provides comfort and durability. The pockets are well placed and allow you to carry all your necessary items. They could be a bit looser in the thighs, but that's just a personal preference. Overall, I recommend them!
-
I am delighted with the comfort and precision of these pants. Size M fits perfectly, there is plenty of material everywhere, and the pants fit well during movement. They are worth their price, and I am now planning to buy the multicam version. As usual, the shipment arrived lightning fast. I also like the Helikon brand, but compared to models like UTP, the difference is huge.
-
Fantastic pants from one of my favorite companies. I highly recommend Helikon and Direct Action products – Polish brands. It's worth supporting our manufacturers. I can't compare them to UF PRO or Carinthia models, but the pants are lightweight, flexible, comfortable, and very well made. I sincerely recommend them.
-
A very good, much cheaper alternative to Crye pants. The adaptive green color is a shade between coyote and olive. It's a pity they are not also available in coyote. Overall, the cut is comfortable and convenient.
-
Great quality pants, well fitted. Very practical Velcro on the legs and around the knees. Knees additionally reinforced with Cordura. Extremely comfortable. As always, Direct Action and Helikon guarantee high quality. The package from Militaria also arrived very quickly.
-
These combat pants are characterized by great comfort and freedom of movement, even in difficult conditions. Thanks to the tailored cut and elastic panels, they allow for comfortable work during dynamic activities. The durable material increases their lifespan, and the well-designed pockets improve functionality. They perform very well during intensive use, offering great practicality and versatility, especially due to the thoughtful pocket layout. However, they are not thick enough to protect against sharp bushes, but they are perfect for active movement.
-
These are definitely the best tactical pants I have ever worn. At first, I had some doubts, but now I know they are worth every penny. You get exactly what you pay for. The quality of workmanship is at the highest global level – perfectly stitched, with no loose threads or manufacturing errors. Comparing them to the twice as expensive UF Pro pants, they are superior in comfort and almost twice as light. Wearing UF Pro feels like wearing bricks compared to these. There is a lot of elastic material above the knees and at the back, allowing full freedom of movement and breathability. The inner waistband is lined with soft fabric to prevent chafing and wicks moisture well. These are the best cargo pants I know. Note: Mon pads are incompatible, and you need to buy dedicated ones from Direct Action or make your own from a sleeping pad.
