PIG (FDT) Alpha Glove

Light weight and as described. I really wish they were American made.....I know, I know....cost, cost, cost. I'd be willing to pay the extra. SKD Reply: Timothy, Thank you for your review. We take pride in manufacturing our PIG Tactical Nylon gear in the USA and wouldn't consider taking production overseas. However, the reality is that we as a country have outsourced the manufacturing capability for high-end sporting gloves for decades, so a US manufacturer that can make these gloves to the same specs at even 2 or 3 times the cost just doesn't exist. Don't take my word for it- that is from one of the best known designers for one of the biggest sporting goods conglomerates in America, who worked with us for over 2 years on getting our gloves made. Before anyone points out Brand X / Model Y that is made in the US, ask yourself the following questions. Does that glove have over 35 individual pieces per glove like the PIG FDT-Alpha? Can you type, tie your shoelaces, paste targets, or shoot handguns at 100% of your bare-handed shooting capability with them on? Can you retrieve items out of your front pants pockets with them on? We realize that there are manufacturers that make gloves in the US... unfortunately, just not any that can make the PIG FDT-Alpha. If you know of any, have them contact us- thanks!

I've owned a few pairs of gloves before and these Alphas have been the best in terms of the amount of touch and fit. The level of dexterity these gloves provide is excellent, fine movements are performed more easily than compared to other tactical gloves (e.g. typing, picking up coins, manipulating small shirt buttons, etc). I've found that my shooting grip is not nearly as affected since the gloves are so thin. The venting ports on the underside of the gloves are not lined , so don't look for any type of water resistance however these gloves have kept my hands reasonably warm during cold mornings. Nonetheless, lots of great ideas in the overall design. They also double as a good pair of driving gloves. Overall I would say the Alphas are a great option if you're looking for a lower cost pair of lightweight tactical gloves.

Received the gloves on the promised delivery day. They were better than I envisioned. Fit is perfect and they feel great. No binding or uncomfortable and unnecessary padding in the wrong places. With 21 years on SWAT, I have tried a bushel of tactical gloves and I have always gone back to flight gloves. I think I have finally found a good temperate weather tactical/shooting glove the temperature has been in the low teens for most of the time since I received them so I only made a quick trip to the range to try them out . They worked great with my SCAR 17 and both of my Glock 19s. (GEN 3 and GEN 4). I'll evaluate them again when the weather is a little more conducive to extended time on the range with light gloves. Thanks for taking the time to research and create a great product instead of just adding knuckle guards and vents to someone else's idea.

I bought the black set to wear at work (Uniform Patrol Sergeant). I measured myself per the guide lines and was between a Large and an X-Large. Went with the X-large. The fit is perfect. I really like the extra joint in the trigger finger. The padding is enough without being too much. Shot for the first time with them. No issues at all. I'd buy them again. SKD had the gloves at my door within 72 hrs of placing the order.

love the gloves fit very well i like the materiel

These really are the best shooting gloves I've ever used. I have on occasion worn them during tactical operations and despite the warning about the durability of the gloves, they've held up pretty well. I currently own three pair, but haven't worn out the first pair yet. Buy them while you can.

Just picked up another few pairs of PIG Gloves for work - they are the best shooting/tactical gloves I've ever used. They fit perfectly, hold up to heavy use and provide the best tactile feel of any glove on the market. They are a must have for any tactical work and for handgun/carbine training. Outstanding glove - get a pair.

I use these gloves for SWAT operations and patrol. The fit is unbelievable. They are like a second skin. These gloves breath well and are short on the wrist so they don't interfere sleeves or watches. I especially like the loop for carrying purposes. The dexterity is amazing due to the expansion joints at the knuckle. Best of all there are no fingers on these gloves that are slightly too long as with other gloves. Home run SKD. Good work!

These are great for everything. I knew these where good when I didn't need to take them off IOT fill my MBITR with our SKL. Breathable as hell too. I'll never purchase another brand of gloves. I can't wait until touch screen compatible finger tips come out.
