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 Clarino™ material available, only on the trigger finger for ultimate sensitivity.
- Selective Forschette Material - Inside forschettes are ventilated for maximum wicking. Outer forschettes are Clarino™ 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.

Great glove works well in hot or cold
Not as fancy looking as the Oakley glove, but definitely a solid piece of kit. Very snug fitting and good range of motion. Good trigger feel through the finger pad and seems to allow manipulation of the small parts on a carbine or auto pistol.

So far, so impressed!
I've been a fan of the Mechanix line of gloves for a while now, but was looking to try something different. I came across the PIG FDT-Alpha, and figured for the price, they were worth a try. So far, I'm very impressed! Pros: Thicker & Thinner in the spots where they need to be. Comfortable, lightweight, and breathe well Cons: None really One extra note, I have small hands, and prefer a sz Small in the Mechanix gloves for a tighter fit. The PIG FDT-A's seem to run a bit smaller, so a sz Med actually works VERY well for me.

Overall great gloves/great experience
SKD and my online shopping experience were nothing less than awesome. Other than the incredibly long back-order and wait - once I actually placed my order for these gloves, everything went smoothly. The gloves themselves are awesome too. Quality product - especially for the price they're outstanding. They look good, they're well made. The only thing is that the sizing is tricky. I realize they're supposed to fit "snug" as they are meant to be a "skin sensitive" shooting glove, but they run a tad on the small size. I feel they're the tiniest bit short. My hands aren't particularly long or anything, but they seem to cut more at the palm instead of the wrist. Maybe I prefer a slightly longer glove, but where they cut-off is the slightest bit uncomfortable on my palm. Next pair I'm going to try an XL and see if they're better without being "baggy" or sacrificing "skin sensitivity".... Overall great product/experience!

Will do
I am currently deployed to SW Asia, but I will be home in March to try out your gloves thoroughly. I have heard/read great reviews and am excited to run them through their paces. Best wishes.

A Better Glove, Maybe a Better Value
While I have not used these gloves extensively yet, initial inspection and testing makes the superior technical nature of this glove apparent. These are not really as tactile as flight gloves (let alone kangaroo leather cycling gloves), so I can't touch type with them on, but I'm still writing this review while wearing them. I've not observed any negative effect on weapons manipulation, but noticed appreciable protection. The clarino enhances grip on smooth surfaces, even when wet, but lacks the purchase of bare skin on some textured grip surfaces, and offers no advantage with non-slip rubber (the best for naked hands). Depending on the durability, these gloves may be a tremendous value at $35, but only time will tell; like most gloves these will need to be replaced as their protection is compromised by wear.

Just Awesome!
I have an odd shaped hand, but the XL's fit nicely. I ordered a large just in case, but had to cut off the finger tips. Either way, these are some of the most comfortable gloves. So far, worth the wait.
