Experience Based Gear from Poland
Direct Action is a well‑established Polish brand, created by specialists for specialists. Designed and manufactured in Poland, its equipment is built on the long‑standing operational experience of special forces soldiers. The brand’s guiding principle is the “Individual‑as‑a‑System” philosophy, enabling users to configure their gear according to their role, mission specifics, and operational environment. All products—including plate carriers, belts, pouches, and panels—form a coherent, scalable system.

Meet Veterans of JW GROM
The Direct Action booth will host three veterans of the GROM Military Unit, who will share their knowledge and years of operational experience.
Ziemowit ‘Harnaś’ Urbanowicz is the creator of the Urban Knife Fighting system. His extensive experience and interest in the operational use of knives mean he will gladly share insights into the practical aspects of close‑quarters combat.
Żwiru will conduct live demonstrations of Direct Action gear configurations, showcasing the logic and possibilities behind building setups for specific roles, missions, and operational conditions. This will be an opportunity to ask questions, exchange experiences, and see the Individual‑as‑a‑System philosophy in practice.
Żelazny will share hands‑on experience using Direct Action equipment during real missions—where reliability, access, and control are critical.
Plate Carriers in multiple configurations
A key part of the booth will be the display of plate carriers – Spitfire, Spitfire MK2, Spitfire QR, Hellcat, and Bearcat – presented in various configurations to highlight their versatility.
