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 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 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.

    Good fit, excellent dexterity. Touch screen compatibility is spot on. And I can buy 2 or 3 pairs for what I would normally spend on a high quality glove.

    Great glove

    Posted by JC on 22nd Jan 2014

    Bought as a patrol glove for colder weather. They are outstanding on the firearms range. No issues drawing quickly from a double retention safariland holster or with firearms manipulation. These are the only gloves I've found to be compatible with our in-car touchscreen, I just wish the glove was given the alpha touch treatment on the finger tip instead of just the pad of the finger (it would make using a touchscreen computer easier). Typing is actually good. I don't expect to be able to type with gloves, and it can be done pretty accurately with these. 4 stars in my book, an great product.

    I use these gloves for shooting and everyday work (I work in a warehouse.) I love these gloves. I love that they are thin enough to have great dexterity where I need it but have the right amount of protection where I need that as well. The alpha touch option is well worth the price. I currently recommend these gloves to my friends at work and my fellow army buddies. I will buy more gloves if SKD ever develops a female line of the same caliber. Thanks for a great glove SKD!!!

    Fit and function are top notch. Fit snug but not tight. Alpha touch feature works great. I will be ordering more of these.

    Sports photographer's dream gloves

    Posted by Creighton Holub on 17th Jan 2014

    The Alpha Touch gloves are wonderful to use when driving to the many sports events I cover. They enable me to work my iPhone, which is important because I'd have to pull off other gloves when getting a call, so I'm that much safer on the road. As an OIF veteran, I can imagine the many uses these gloves would have been used for, compared to other gloves I've worn. I hope SKD comes out with a winterized version for folks who live farther north, as this model is great for the hot weather we have all year in the Houston area.

    Full dexterity for operating everything from a keyboard to a HMMWV to firearms. Excellent construction, looks like they will wear well.

    These gloves rock!

    Posted by Cal on 17th Jan 2014

    I shot my Glock 19 last weekend, wearing these gloves, and I'm sold. Trigger press, magazine manipulation for speed and tactical reloads as well as drawing from the holster are comfortable and confidence inspiring. I was even able to load magazines with these on. They were a bit small, but soaking them in water and then wearing them for 30 minutes stretched them out sufficiently for a tight, comfortable fit. Added bonus: while wet they act like the version with silver in the fore-finger and thumb, allowing you to use the touch screen on your smart phone without removing your gloves. Two thumbs up (pun intended)!

    Great fit, not bulky at all. The conductive threading does work even on my phone with screen protector.
