PIG Full Dexterity Tactical (FDT) Alpha Gloves
If you’ve ever worn tactical gloves while shooting and wished for something better… your wish is now reality.
The PIG FDT Alpha Gloves offer 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 Clarino™ material available, only on the trigger finger for ultimate sensitivity.
- Selective Forschette Material - Inside forschettes are ventilated for maximum wicking. Outer forschettes are Clarino™ 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 Gloves are 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.

Outstanding
I was hesitant on the size of the gloves but when I put on the medium size they fit (excuse the pun) like a glove. The feel is fantastic. Can't recommend them enough.

Seem good, but so far can't get a good fit...
The quality seem great. However, my hand is a Medium in length (7.5-7.75") but right between an X-Large or XX-Large in width (9.25"). I got Mediums first (since tight around the hand wouldn't be as bad as extra finger space); then I got Larges. Both are too tight in the web of my hand. So beware if you have odd hands like mine--large mitts with stubby fingers: the web will be too tight and not allow you to get full purchase on a grip. I'm going to try X-Larges before giving up...will update if I can.

Better than Mechanix touch gloves.
I tried the Mechanix touch gloves first but the response was poor. The SKD gloves are very responsive but there are sometimes where it still misses but not as much as the Mechanix gloves.

Conductive stitching is really fragile.
These batch's stitching is a little bit better that the 1st gen's. Still, it starts coming apart on the first outing. My index fingers are out of conductive tips in a matter of weeks. This can be alleviated by taking a lighter's flame to the tips and melting the fabric together. But still, PIG needs to fix this problem for these gloves to be perfect.

Great Design! Will be my go to glove!
This is a very well designed glove for shooting. I like how they fit more like driving gloves around the wrists. There is no extra fabric to get hung up on anything (fits almost like spandex around your fingers). The two things that I do not like are these: 1. The webbing between my thumb and index finger doesn't seat all the way down into my hand... I wear the smalls, and the mediums fit between those two fingers (which means my hands are probably between sizes). However, I did an immersion weekend with these gloves, and it did not seem to affect my grip on the gun at all (just more of a small annoyance). 2. If the fabric catches on the velcro, it starts to bead up a little. Unfortunately, any pair of gloves like this will have this issue (unless it's leather or some material with a ridiculously tight weave). I would definitely recommend this glove, and I will be reordering whenever this pair bites the dust.

Very nice
Haven't had a chance to test out yet. Feel very nice. Finger dexterity is fantastic. Should perform great.

Pig alpha touch gloves
Awesome gloves feels great feels awesome when holding the firearm. But they can do better on the stitching coz the velcro is a little loose.

Pig Gloves
Very good gloves the fit is perfect and the touch screen function works will. Only dig is the seams are a little rough nothing that wont break in soon.

So far so good
Snug fit, excellent dexterity for trigger manipulation. Time will tell if they have a long service life. Most shooting gloves that have good dexterity are usually pretty light duty and end up with holes and tears after just a few matches...I'm really hoping the PIG is the exception. If they last then the rating would move to excellent...
