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.

They're pretty sweet
I just got these gloves last week. They are nice and snug so you can still have a tactile sense of what you are trying to do, but they also allow for the best unobstructed movement I've ever experienced with a pair of gloves. I have always been (and still am) a fan of Mechanix gloves. I use them for pretty much everything that needs gloves, they had just always not quite worked correctly for using a firearm. The PIGs are definitely a better designed glove for shooting. The only real knock is not on the gloves themselves, but I wish they had a color and size I could use in the plain version of the gloves. Having the ability to use a smart phone is cool and everything, but when I'm at the range, I really dont care about talking on a phone. I would have liked to save the few bucks and just have gotten the plain version. Other than that, these gloves are pretty awesome.

Pig Alpha Gloves
Excellent product works well, fit is perfect. This is the second pair of these gloves, they perform as advertised!!! Thinking about getting them in the last color available. SKD Tactical is a great company to deal with.

Nice gloves. Really like them1
Been looking at tactical gloves for a while and finally bought the PIG FDTs. Very nice. Thinner than I thought they would be which makes for a very "second skin" feel to them. So far I have used them in two pistol matches and two subgun matches and they really help keep a firm grip on the firearms. Happy so far, we'll see how long they last.

Perfection
I got the Alpha Touch gloves and they are awesome. They work perfect on my cell phone. So glad I went with these over other options. The fit was right on with their sizing chart. SKD customer service was amazing. I ordered these two days before the Veteran's Day sale and they credited me the difference. Fast shipping too. Thanks SKD!

Great fitting gloves, needs to be worn in
When I first got them and tried them out, they seemed a bit too tight; tigher than the non-touch versions. However as I wore them for a few days just as driving gloves to and from work they conformed nicely to the hand. The touch function is not bad and I could type msgs on my phone with ease. Tried some dry fire drills with them and the feel of the trigger is still very tactile and easy to feel when the trigger is about to break.

Pig Full Dexterity Tactical touch Gloves
I didn't even notice the gloves when I was shooting.....which is the whole idea. the fit is perfect and the tactile feel is excellent. Barely enough padding to protect against tough abrasion. I'm not sure how well they will wear and take any abuse. but as good as they feel, I would be happy to buy a new pair every couple of years

Needs more cowbell
These gloves fit like a... well, glove. They are flexible and comfortable. Being able to use a touch screen is great, however these gloves need more of the magic silver and unicorn pube threads to really reach their potential. I have to hold the phone just right and align my index finger and/or thumb just right to make good contact with the screen. Hopefully a future version will have more coverage on the side and pad of the thumb, not just the tip. (Wink wink.) Buyer beware: Check your sizing. If you're between sizes, get the larger ones. I was right at the top end of the small, but they were too tight. Had to return the gloves for the mediums.

Not bad
The gloves themselves are great but the conductive thread used on the fingertips starts fraying pretty quickly. The good news of course is that you can always fix them yourself as needed. But as I said, the gloves themselves are great, even without the touchscreen tips.

Pig Alpha Touch
Great gloves with excellent dexterity. My only complaint is that the silver touch thread snagged and ripped out the first time I wore them. They still work because of the additional thread but I would suggest beefing up the silver stitching on the index and thumb.
