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.

Listen to the experts:
Like most I bought these expecting the best and for sure they were. Just beware, when they recommend that you buy two different sizes and send the one back that doesn't fit, do it. I bought mine on the small side ignored the advice and when I got them they were too tight for my personal preference. Then when trying them on again, snap off came the hang tag. Shit; now I owned them. (see disclaimer) Looked around and sold them to a co-worker for half price. Went back to skdtac.com to buy large and...you guessed it out stock. So a week later skd emailed me that they were back and yes I just bought them again. Alpha touch worked as advertised.

Best range glove out there!
Glove fits tight to hand, very comfortable too. The trigger finger is my favorite, so much feeling in it! Can't wait to see what it's like in the cold.

Hand Condoms :)
Great pair of gloves, a lot of thought have gone into these, first gloves I've worn that don't impair your sense of touch, the trigger finger is excellent, I'm able to retrieve small objects from jean pockets which is another first. The Touch function works great, can use every function on my iphone 5c. Only problem with these gloves is that if you have a wife that goes to the range with you, and she spots that you can work a smartphone with them, they are immediately stolen lol, have to get another pair now!

Outstanding
I've been a user of the PIG FDT gloves for a few years now. This is my most recent pair. As always, they are comfortable, functional, and most of all ... the fit is fantastic for shooting with gloves.

Not as useful as you would like them to be...
First off let's discuss the gloves without the "touch" feature. These are great gloves with lots of desirable features. I have a hard time finding gloves that fit due to large palms and shorter fingers. The size large works for me with a very minor break-in period. I have a another pair of these gloves without the "touch" features in the DE-like color. They have lasted for awhile however, the seam on the knuckle padding closest to the thumb as split. Now lets discuss the "touch" feature... I would not buy this version of the glove. There are just a few lines of the conductive thread in the index finger and thumb. On my touch devices I get very inconsistent results with the gloves. The biggest issues is that they just don't seem to "swipe" effectively on the screen. They "tap" better but I get frustrated with too many unsuccessful attempts to "drive the phone" - I just end up taking the gloves off. Due to this I have to give this version of the glove a "3 out of 5"

PIG Alpha Touch Review
The gloves are great. They fit perfect and do exactly what they are designed to do. Feed my crack-like smartphone addiction even when I'm at the range. You've ruined me. But you sold me awesome gloves.

Great Product
They run a little small, but it worked out for me. These are really comfortable gloves, built well, and still offer great dexterity. I got them for the range, as my skinny rails heat up quick. They look great, and are as good as it gets. As usual the service and shipping from SKD was top notch! Nija shipping kicks ass.......
