Good fit, fabric feels high quality, lots of pockets, enough length in the legs (long model).

Excellent hiking pants with slightly awkward "tactical" leg pockets. :D Direct Action has succeeded in placing the stretch sections significantly better than many traditional manufacturers, and there were no problems with mobility, even in the pants that were too small when I first tried them. The pants also breathe reasonably well through the softshell parts, although I still miss the possibility of zippered ventilation. The sizing is a bit strange, the S size, which according to the label in the bag should be 30 inches from the waist, which is just right for me, was far too tight, but the M size is then significantly larger, especially at the hips. Well, I guess you can fit more underneath in winter. The velcro fastening at the waist is good because you can adjust the tightness of the pants without a belt. The Nyco ripstop DWR treatment repels water surprisingly well, the water repellency is on a completely different level than, for example, Fjellun's wax-treated clothes. The Cordura patches on the knees, especially with the manufacturer's neoprene inserts, work well both as a protection against hard surfaces and as a waterproofing, when you have to have your knees in the peat for some reason while working as a guide and wet knees on your pants are annoying. The thigh pockets are surprisingly small, the phone can't fit in the zipper pocket and the so-called dump pocket can only fit one thicker glove and using the pockets feels a bit awkward anyway despite the stretchy part of the pocket side. You can't just dump anything in them. Minus one star because in my own pants the knee reinforcements always twist to the side with or without inserts if I don't tighten them in place with stickers, and I assume this is due to the quality of the fabric because this only started after the first wash and use when the tensions in the fabric started to release. Good quality fabric doesn't behave like this. I also wonder why so much has been saved on double stitching. In any case, the price-quality ratio seems excellent, despite the awkward "tactical" hand pockets and minor defects. You can easily pay many times more for pants from better-known brands that perform much worse.

The price/quality ratio is right, even if the places for the knee pads are a bit narrow. Pockets well and stylish.

🟢 excellent light pants and even lighter on different parts. Perfect for the field. 🟢 The reduced price is really interesting to no longer give yourself an excuse not to take them.

Light, good and comfortable for hobby use. Small holes can be patched with duct tape or clothespins. For serious work, you can get those made of a sturdier fabric

Very good quality pants. Reinforcement places and the placement of pockets optimal for your needs. A big plus is especially the placement of the thigh pockets between 10 and 14 o'clock (front sector). The pockets are also good in depth.

The pants fit comfortably and the pockets are well placed, the flaps of the thigh pockets can be closed with velcro so that the pockets remain open, which is a very good feature. For off-road pants, the cut is pretty tight when you take the ones that fit your size, if you want roominess, you should choose a bigger size.

I received the pants shortly before the week-long power training, so they could be tested right away. During training, the pants felt like sweatpants, which is a good thing. He was able to do all the necessary movements with his pants on and didn't tighten anything during the fight. At first I thought that the pants wouldn't breathe at all during training, but as a positive surprise, they did breathe and it stayed comfortable. The material feels very durable in the pants. The price is right for these pants compared to the quality :)

The pants are very comfortable to wear and thanks to the good materials, the feeling does not become stuffy even in hot weather. The only downside is the kneepad pockets. The pockets could be bigger, the currently too narrow knee pads don't always fit under the knee in a fast situation.

Pants that fit well and feel functional and durable. However, my pants have not yet had time for heavy strain. The knee pad pockets are reasonably narrow, so not many Universal pads can fit directly into them. I myself haven't come up with a sensible use for calf pockets. I would have preferred a small pocket for a flashlight/knife on the thigh instead. And as a waist fastener instead of just a sticker/in addition, a proper button would have been more comfortable for my taste. However, very good pants for the price!

One of the pants went to the back of the knees when the little velcro was torn, otherwise they just worked

The side pockets are quite nice, good space. The pockets on the thighs are also nice, good zipper. The knee pads are not something to shout out loud about. The fabric is good quality. Would not recommend them as Combat pants, but use them for weekdays at the barracks. Not one I would buy again.

For the big bitch, the sticker could barely fit on the front 😁 172cm / 85kg grandfather. Total medium regular. Otherwise, the pants are good. For outdoor activities Quite incomparable. Elasticity is found in the buttocks and thighs, so it is well suited for the activity! Minus the exhaustion of ventilation, in the summer can be a little sweaty. The pockets are composed of excitement, but works 👌

Prolonged use does not change my previous comment: The best pants I have bought in its price range. The velcro of the knee brace is softened so that it no longer presses on the feet. Double stitching in many places and the pants are not broken anywhere. The pockets are appropriately sized and expand sufficiently. Attention is drawn to the fact that the elastic fabric of the ass and inner thighs is thin and permeates the wind. That is, in the summer the ventilation works, in the winter the persus can cool down too much ...

Originally, I went to look at Clawgear’s pants because they seemed a few smarter in features than Direct Action’s Vanguard: Putting knee inserts in place is done in Operator Pants with rubber bands. Namely, I was skeptical that Vanguard’s knee flex stickers don’t work very well. However, I ended up buying the Vanguards because they have absolutely outrageously stylish pants with cryen multicamina and fabric and cut better than Operator Pants. Absolutely sick neat pants. Knee brace labels work great in the sense that the inserts are in just the right place. However, stickers have one major downside: They press on the knee flexion when squatting. Nonetheless, I would by no means switch to other pants: Vanguard is the coolest tactical pants, or pants at all, that I’ve put on my feet. So if you’re thinking of different options, again, it’s wise to go on site first to try, rather than ordering a home based solely on pictures. I also received good service at Varuste.Net / Authority.
