After a long break, I’m writing another review you’ll want to read to the last line — this time about the Direct Action Light Leather gloves.
This Polish brand, which you probably already know, produces both tactical gear and merch — so gloves are a natural part of their lineup.
I’ll be honest — until now, I used to order my gloves from Aliexpress. I treat them as consumables. Spending €50 on a pair of gloves and ruining them within a month or two just doesn’t make sense. That’s why I went for cheaper options and simply replaced them when they wore out.
The Direct Action Light Leather gloves, however, hit the sweet spot in price-to-quality ratio.
Of course, Direct Action offers several versions — warmer, thicker, thinner — so you can pick summer or winter models.
I went with the Light Leather and was especially curious to see how they would perform when handling a firearm.
🧤 First impressions
I first came across these gloves about a year ago, back when they were still quite new. A friend of mine spoke highly of them, and I was also drawn to the design.
When it comes to gloves, the most important factor is how they feel and how well you can work in them. You want absolute comfort. You don’t want them loose or slippery.
I mainly used them at the shooting range — and I’ll admit, I was skeptical about the leather parts.
But I was pleasantly surprised by the grip and overall control.
The gun stayed perfectly stable in my hands — and that’s without any stippling or added grip.
Reloading, drawing, or performing a press check — everything felt natural and effortless.
Direct Action even considered touchscreen compatibility — all fingers can operate a phone screen. It’s not flawless, but perfectly fine for basic use, so you don’t have to take the gloves off just to answer a call or open an app.
The stitching is precise down to every seam. A nice design touch is the front logo and “Go Loud” inscription — it fills the space perfectly.
The wrist cuff is elastic, keeping dirt out while also blocking wind and moisture. There’s also a Hypalon loop for putting the gloves on or attaching them to your belt.
However, I found the loop a bit too small and thin — it’s tricky to clip onto a carabiner or strap, and it doesn’t really help with donning or doffing. That’s the only real downside I’ve found.
🔧 Real-world use
I’ve been using these gloves heavily — at the range, while driving, filling out paperwork, handling my phone, or carrying heavy steel targets.
They’ve consistently offered comfort and control — in both warm and rainy conditions.
After a long search, I’ve finally found gloves that truly last and don’t fall apart after the first day.
The price-to-quality ratio is excellent.
Direct Action isn’t my favorite brand overall, but these gloves have earned my respect.
