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.

Shoots Like No Gloves On
Have tried tactical gloves issued by the military. When qualifying on the M4 & M9 I would end up taking them off by the 2nd phase of firing. It always felt as if I had to work through the glove material to manipulate the weapon. I knew what I wanted but could not find a glove that didn't bunch up or fit too tight between the thumb and index finger. Found these by chance on a google search. I've always been hesitant to order boots or gloves online b/c I have to feel how they fit. I think how they feel is the main part of how they function. Liked that these had a sizing chart. Used them for the first time a few days ago for police quals w/ a Glock 22. Felt like I was not wearing gloves. Able to manipulate the weapon w/ no probs. Until now I would not wear the gloves I have on police patrol b/c I was not confident I could accurately manipulate my service weapon if the need arose. Now I will be ordering another pair VERY soon and using them everyday. 4 stars only b/c I've used them once.

FDT PIG FULL
OK, I used that sizing chart and the tape measure, All pointed to a Small, Man... were they Small, I know I can return them because I did not touch the Tags but I think this is some room to re-visit the on-line sizing chart. I just don't don't have time to return them, Maybe they will stretch a little. Please consider in the next release a breakaway for trigger finger, Some of us have Over-Watch and MUST keep that finger in contact ready state. I do like them. Nice gear, Harden every up a little if You want a chance at The Sandbox. Best regards, Chase

Good
Very comfortable, but after a two days of use (TCCC training) the the palm material goes off and a vent hole on the index finger is ripped. Please make it more sturdier

Great glove
Form fitting yet not constricting. Good finger dexterity without lose of touch. Will review agin in a month to see how well that have held up.

Good gloves
So far so good. I have been using them as work gloves and they have held up well so far. Where I have had some gloves fail in a week in the field these are holding up despite being so thin. 4 stars because the silver lining is not need with my Note 3, that is to say all the other fingers are able to manipulate the screen. I believe this is the case because of the thin material. Your phone may differ. Also next time I will order my normal size, XL vs the XXL the chart had me pick. Fit is 95% correct just a little looser than I'd like but is more than fine. I will order more in the future.

PIG Alpha Gloves
I purchased these gloves to replace a set of Oakley's I've been using for a solid year. Initially I was impressed with the PIG gloves, especially running a few stress courses / firearms training. However, during a training session, my team and I were utilizing SIM'S and when my weapon failed, I cleared the malfunction by cycling the slide. In doing so, the seam on the palm of the left glove tore approximately 2.5 inches. Maybe it was a fluke, Im hard on my gear.

Very comfortable, and the sizing chart SKD offers is pretty accurate. They fit well, and are great for shooting, especially for us 1911 guys. I am typing this review with them on as you read this-What are you waiting for? Try them out!
