PIG (FDT) Alpha Glove

The gloves are wonderful. The construction of the product is also great. The only issue I can find is the thread on the forefinger that allows you to use your phone. It has come up and I have a few strands standing up on there own. It's a little annoying considering I've had them only a week and a half. As long as no more come up it will be and continue to be a great glove.

First off, these gloves fit great and the feel is outstanding. I've worn them to the range and to training, no issues. I give four stars because the touch is only decent. The silver threads are unraveling after only a couple of weeks. Granted they aren't meant to last forever, but the silver seems to wear faster than the glove. Also, the threads are on the pad on the index finger instead of the tip. It's a minor issue, but most people use the tip of the finger on phones and end user devices. Hopefully they can improve touch thread durability and placement in future builds. I still recommend these for touch enabled operations gloves.

Two different pair of PIG gloves L, using the chart provided, and were too small. Emailed SKD, told me how to swap; prompt (3 days), no card credit yet for return (early). Very good glove, excellent cover (slightly snug XL, but they should stretch out with use). Hand is wide, fingers not long; some unfilled at tips, a minor issue, but picked up rounds ok, loaded mag. Fit Magpul extended trigger guard well. Flex very well, like the colors, and barely felt the ejected round hit r hand as I fired, and raised hand to slap magnifier to side. Very good "feel" transmitted from SSA-E/SSD-C triggers and standard AR triggers. Slightly rough inside, but not prickly or sandy. The closure strap needs about a 1/4" longer for my hand, fingers 1/4" shorter to be perfect. Have another brand of gloves with Kevlar (similar fit), also very good, but for comfort (thru Fall, non-Winter), these PIG gloves are an excellent choice. Since they are new, I can't speak to how long they'll wear.

My review won't apply to the majority of SKD customers, but the PIG FDT Alpha Touch Gloves were just too big for me with some of the fingers extending about 1/2" past my fingertips, which prevented me from utilizing the touchscreen-accessing capability. With all of the rave reviews put out by MM and others, I really wanted to like these gloves and will keep them just because the overall sensitivity of the palms and fingers during weapons manipulation is outstanding. It's unfortunate that most tactical outfitters overlook the smaller statured gunfighters. Hopefully SKD will come out with an XS sizing in the future. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Excellent quality but I think they run just a hair on the small side. Website measurement instructions showed that I should wear a medium but in reality, they were pretty tight and maybe should have ordered large. The wrist strap was a little was even too short. Having said that, they are the most sensitive gloves I have ever worn. Excellent trigger feel. I like them!

I purchased the Large black Alpha Touch gloves. It is obvious that a lot of thought went into these gloves and they are well built and very functional. I have average sized hands and got a large which is perfect snug fit. There is enough dexterity to do almost any task you could without having any gloves on at all but a good amount of protection where you want it. I have a iPhone 5s and found that the "Touch" version is not worth the extra money. The conductive thread started fraying quickly on my pair and I found that fingers without the conductive thread worked just as well as those with it on my phone. The one major complaint I have is related to the shipping. It was through USPS and required a signature which ended up being a huge hassle because of how USPS signature requirements work if you are not home. I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat but not if it is shipped the same way.

Easy customer experience, while this was the only place I could order my gloves, I will likely use your site again.

Very good quality, for some reason just a little long in the pinky finger. Awesome product!!

Tried out many pairs of gloves in the past. These are hands down the best. They fit like skin and the dexterity is the greatest. I spent the extra money and bought the ones with alpha touch. Which is very nice not having to remove a glove to answering a call or while running my ballistics calculator on my iPad.
