- 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.

overall great gloves
Great gloves. I would prefer to have a little more string in the fingers to make the entire finger and thumb touch screen compatible by overall very happy with the purchase. This is my 2nd pair of PIG gloves, love them.

Fits like a pig
Great fit, but very snug. I measured on the high side of medium and it fits tight. For a looser fit order a size up.

Downside : Not that durable.

2nd time go
This is the second pair of gloves I bought from SKD and they are great! They fit perfectly. That being said- the sizing is of from every other pair of gloves I own. Yes I used the sizing chart and happily ordered an XL when the sizing matched - up (this is my normal give size). However when they came in the globe just didn't fit right. This was particularly evident when I made a fist. There didn't seem to be enough material between the pointer finger and thumb (maybe I just have horse hands) Anyway this was all solved by buying the 2XL. They are perfect .... I guess you could say ..... They fit like a glove

Silver Stitching fraying
Love the gloves with regards to comfort, dexterity, and function, except for the silver stitching on the alpha touch. It sucks. After using the gloves at the range for a couple of hours, the silver stitching is fraying on both sides, both fingers.

Disappointed
I waited over a year for these gloves to come back in stock, only to be disappointed in the quality after 6 months of wear. I wear them every day at work and every finger now has a giant hole in them, and the seam down a few of them have busted. If you're a weekend warrior, these are great for you. If you're an everyday operator, don't do it...you'll be blowing your $50 on 6 months.

PIG Alpha Touch
In terms of fit, they were cut well matching my finger length and palm. The cut was too shallow between my thumb and index finger creating difficulty when spreading my hand out. I can't really complain about this as these are not custom gloves. I was really disappointed with the quality. The stitching across the fingers started coming apart immediately after putting them on and just wearing them to break them in. Could just be my pair has bad stitching but I kinda feel like these are "airsoft" quality. Will see how they hold up to real duty.

Alpha gloves
I love the gloves. There was one issue the tag that held the gloves together said small, but the tag inside said medium. I ordered a small. Was not happy with that.

PIG Full Dexterity Tactical (Alpha Touch) Gloves
Unfortunately, now that I've been able to "test" them myself, I've found them to not work according to the reviews I've seen. My specific issue is with the Alpha Touch function. While adding a couple of rows of silver lined thread to the index finger and thumb does allow for some functionality on touch screens, such as my smart phone, it does not work well... at least not in my case. I tend to use the tip of my index finger when interacting with my smart phone's touch screen. The problem is that the rows of silver lined thread installed on these gloves is too low on the finger. The thread does not make good contact, causing intermittent and unreliable touch screen usage. I'd of liked to have seen a solid (silver lined) pad covering the entire fingertip installed to overcome this problem. In the end, while the glove itself seems to be a great shooting glove, the Alpha Touch function just didn't work well for me.
