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.

Sports photographer's dream gloves
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.

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

These gloves rock!
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.

Excellent gloves
The alpha touch is a fantastic glove! Great fit and excellent comfort. I have been looking for something with both fit and function like this for some time now and I can finally say I am done glove shopping. The PIG is the only way to go!

Seems perfect
Followed the fitting chart instructions and picked a size. On very first fit I thought, screwed up - to tight. Started flexing my hand and working the glove through open and close fist action. The more I did it the better they felt. Finally committed, pulled them of the hang tag and wore them around for about 10 minutes. The more I used them, the better they felt. No range time yet but have been doing dry fire skills drills and have had no issues. To say they fit like your skin is an understatement. Improved grip on polymer handgun, no issues running drills and oh ya I got the alpha touch. No trying to peal the glove off to do some touch screen thing. Now the only question is how long will they last before they need to be replaced? Right now I think I'll get at least the same amount of use out of them as other gloves I have used. We shall see.

Excellent gloves!
Being in Law Enforcement for many years I have tried many gloves while shooting. Only to be disappointed many times. I will look no further as these gloves deliver as promised!

Excellent Product, Speedy Service, Great Price!
I ordered the PIG Full Dexterity Tactical (FDT) Alpha Touch Glove gloves for use in the field and needed them sent quickly to an APO. SKD was quick to respond, sent it the same day that I ordered and I received my shipment in time, all despite the huge holiday sale they were having. Another great customer experience with SKD, further solidifying my loyalty as a tactical gear customer.
