PIG Full Dexterity Tactical (FDT) Alpha Glove
If you’ve ever worn tactical gloves while shooting and wished for something better… your wish is now reality.
The PIG FDT Alpha Glove offers ground-breaking gun-handling dexterity and features that set them apart from the competition. And like ALL PIG Glove models, the PIG FDT Alphas feature Touch Screen conductive synthetic suede on the index finger and thumb for full compatibility with all your favorite devices.
FEATURES (* indicates industry firsts for a tactical glove):
- Conductive Thumb and Trigger Finger material - Maximum reliability for touch screen use without losing tactile dexterity.
- Single Layer Multi-Piece Palm - Designed specifically so that only one layer of material contacts your shooting grip.
- Sensitized and Isolated Trigger Finger - The thinnest available AX Suede material available, only on the trigger finger for ultimate sensitivity.
- Selective Fourschette Material - Inside fourschettes are ventilated for maximum wicking. Outer forschettes are AX Suede for durability.
- Low Profile Hook Closure - Reduces abrasion on clothing.
- Flex Joints - Enhanced flexibility and ventilation on each finger.
- Dual Flex Joint Trigger Finger - Providing maximum flexibility where you need it most.
- Bar-Tacked Para Cord Pull Loop... YES, NOW BAR-TACKED..
- Short Cuff - Lightweight comfort and convenience.
- Micro Suede Nose Wipe* - Fights against cold-weather drip. *Multicam/Multicam Black models do not have the Micro Suede Nose Wipe in deference to having more Multicam patterned material.
- Ventilation holes in Palms and Fingers - Increased wicking.
- Isolated Edge Padding - Protection without compromising the shooting grip.
- Wrap-Over Finger Tips - Provides additional comfort and protection for finger nails.
- Stretch Ballistic Nylon 1000D Padded Knuckles - Stretch ballistic nylon reduces pressure on the seams, thin padding takes the edge off of impacts.
At the end of the day, the PIG FDT-Alpha Glove is a consumable product that will provide the user with the best tactile dexterity available in a tactical glove, and should be worn to destruction, then discarded and replaced. The selection of super sensitive materials and extremely tight seams mean that these gloves will eventually wear out, and there are no warranties implied. Please try them on and inspect them thoroughly for fit and finish before removing from the hangtag, but be forewarned, you will not want to take them off.

Absolutely Love These
Make sure you purchase a size up from your hand size as the pair I purchased was too tight. I fixed the glitch and they are fantastic.

PIG FDT Alpha Gloves
In a word excellent! I was actually surprised how well these gloves fit. They are comfortable and the amount of dexterity afforded is exceptional. I know it sounds stupid, but I wore the gloves around doing everyday kind of activities and there wasn't anything within reason I wasn't able to do. In fact, I'm typing this review on my Lap Top while wearing the PIG FDT Gloves. Even though these are not the Alpha Touch version, my 'touch pad' on the HP Lap-Top will move the 'mouse cursor' with my middle-finger, but not my index-finger. Go figure! I like these gloves so much I immediately ordered another pair. Knowing my luck, if I waited until the first pair wore-out, SKD would be out of stock. Overall, SKD price is reasonable, fit and finish is excellent and the S/H and Customer Service is excellent. SKD is a vendor I will do business with again.

I like wearing gloves now.
I've been through quite a few pairs of gloves in my time. From standard issue to top-of-the-line tactical baggage handler gloves. Never have I worn a pair that actually "fits like a glove" Some points + Fits actual hand size. If you are a large get a large. Not a medium like I do in order to facilitate better fit after stretch. + One piece rolled finger tips ON ALL 4 KNIFE HANDING DIGITS. No more flat super stitched stupidness bunching up around your nails driving you insane. Even the thumb flat stitch is done in such a way that the stitch doesnt interfere with manipulation. + Simple closure that isnt obnoxiously bulky and covered with "tactical padding" for "those days out wrist striking people in the chops". Props for loop portion on the skin. Not really long enough though. Only one con. Seam where knuckle padding and cable knit (?) cover the top of your hand came undone after a week of continuous wear. A dab of gorilla glue saw that it wont worsen.

Hands Down Best Gloves
I have had the pleasure of being able to handle a variety of gloves including Mechanix, Outdoor Research, Camelbak, and Oakley. After purchasing two sets of these gloves, I can safely say, these are the best gloves on the market (OR Ironsights were a close second). They live up to their reputation of giving you the bareback shooting feel without compromising protection. I've had my first set for over a year now and they're one of the best investments I have ever made. They protect my hands extremely well, which is important to me after multiple hand surgeries and injuries. Don't hesitate to buy this glove if you are considering. You will not be dissapponted. My only advice is to order one size larger than the sizing chart recommends. The fit will feel better and it will be more comfortable.

pig gloves
Great tactile senses with abrasion protection. The velcro stays in place unlike mechanics gloves. allows great dexterity. If you're on the fence about whether or not to buy these gloves, do it, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent pair of gloves fit perfect. And the features on the package were spot on.

SKD has great CS (though it turns out...)
Evidently I have freak-hands. In length, they're a 7.75" (Small/Medium/Large), but in width, they're 9.25" (X-Large/XX-Large). So I can either have the fingertips right or I can open my hand fully. Not both. These LOOK great--wish I could say more. I WILL say that CS was VERY fast (even on a Sunday evening!). I really want these, but there's no way my stubby fingers will fit into the XX-Large, which is probably what my paw requires. Still, I'm tempted to try the X-Large.

PIG gloves rock!
These gloves have been my savior when it comes to dexterity, comfort, fit, and just overall an awesome functional glove! Added bonus of using iphone as well.
