PIG (FDT) Alpha Glove

Bought these because I'd read so many good reviews on them. Well, those reviews were all right.....these are great gloves. The don't restrict your movement at all, they fit my hand perfectly and none of the seams are in the wrong place to cause any discomfort. They are well worth the money.

Ive owned a metric shit ton of tactical gloves over the years. Oakley, Blackhawk, Mechanix, issued nomex, etc. Nothing comes close to the attributes these bad boys bring to the table. Basically, if these gloves were a female body part in another world, they would be the best pair of boobies you ever let your eyes on.

Picked up three at the SKD discount. Between training and running carbine classes I go thru a pair about once a year. I'm currently using the ORCrossbow. The Pig FDT's are about 1/4 the price and I'm hoping to get good wear out of them. Initial fit is just as good as my OR gloves, snug but not restrictive in movement. The Clarino synthetic leather is thinner but dexterity is improved. I feel SKD made the correct choice with the cordura backed nuckle padding. It offers good protection without the annoying hard plastic. I find the plastic offer poor fit and restrict movement. I'm still at a loss as to why some manufacturers use them. These gloves have a lot of usefull, well thought out features. Space limits me on this review but overall I would rate them a solid 4stars. It would be 5 however, they are not US made, but the price point would be much higher as well.

Great tactile palms and interior finger pad surfaces. No real leather anywhere which is why I gave them a 3 star rating. Faux leather for $40 detracts from the overall value! Fit is pretty good.

I have to say that these are pretty good for invisible gloves. Of course because they don't actually exist, I have to print the web page and put that in my loadout so I know that I actually have them. Look great on paper and the specs advertised are top notch. Only problem I have is my hands get both cold and sustain some injury with these gloves but that's to be expected since they don't exist. I recommend them with reservations.

I had been looking for general purpose winter gloves that weren’t the usual Isotoner leather style, and I read a review for these on ITS TACTICAL (http://www.itstactical.com/gearcom/clothing/skd-pig-full-dexterity-tactical-glove-review/). The claim of a rugged, badass glove that could be used for anything but was specifically designed for shooting was an immediate draw. That they were cheap enough to wear out and replace at will was just a bonus. They’re not waterproof, but otherwise they are perfect for general hand protection and light thermal insulation. The hinged knuckles and thin palm and fingertip material mean very little loss of dexterity, whether working a stick shift or a charging handle. I actually found shooting with these gloves easier and more comfortable than barehanded, as they allow for all the movement you need while taking the edge off of hard or sharp surfaces. I highly recommend these for general winter use, and for shooting they are a no-brainer.

Gloves fit great. Definitely love the fit, but I wore them for one full training weekend, about 16 hours total and they are already coming apart at the seams on the side of my index finger, right hand, thumb side. Not sure if got a weak pair, will try another but they seem like they are not too durable from my view...

I purchased these gloves with knowing the quality of the PIG products. I have used the PIG PC on my current deployment and I am truly impressed with the quality and comfort during long patrols. The gloves however lasted 3 patrols and began tearing apart at the seems of the knuckle protection all across the top of the right glove and in the thumb seam of the left glove displaying the blue padding underneath. The fit was great the dexterity was great but the stitching on my particular pair was very poor. I was a little dissapointed due to me expecting a higher quality of product, yet knowing they wouldnt last a lifetime. I will continue to support the PIG line of products and eventually try another pair in hopes that my previous pair had defects.

I was highly disappointed when I received these gloves because the seam on the knuckle was already beginning to tear. I am suprised to see so many high ratings for these gloves. Maybe I just got a bad pair. The gloves are definitely sized small. The dexterity is pretty good, I just wish they were made with more quality.
