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.

Great gloves
Great gloves - definitely improved my range trips. Initially had some bite from a seem inside one of the fingers, but 20 minutes of wearing the gloves smoothed that out. Would recommend to anyone looking for range gloves.

PIG gloves
I love the extra movement in the knuckles especially the trigger finger, it's cool that you can operate a touch screen with these gloves but the best part is being able to index all your gear such as mags knives and even little tiny radio knobs as with anything else if you use these gloves around Velcro then they do get pretty fuzzy and threads will come unraveled but I have slid down hills bracing myself with my hands and even the thin palm has not torn. I would give them five stars but I haven't had them long enough to see how much punishment they can actually take.

PIG FDT Alpha
Love these gloves! I use them out on patrol and they're perfect for the warm temperatures I work in. I expect they'll last a few months of daily use and that's fine by me. Since these are geared for shooting, I realize that they don't really count as PPE but I'm ok with that trade off. Other than wearing latex, few gloves provide much in the way of protection from bio hazards. The best gloves for me are ones that I'll actually wear, and I enjoy wearing these.

PIG gloves
The gloves fit great everywhere except the web of the thumb. That area is very tight when I open my hand, but I think if I went up to a large they would be to big everywhere else. Hopefully after a few training days they will break in and that issue will resolve its self. If I can get a year out of these gloves and the web breaks in I will definatly purchase them again.

Great Fit, ok touchscreen capability
These gloves fit great and offer excellent dexterity. I used the sizing chart and measurements and got the tight fit I was looking for. The threads in the fingers to allow for use of a smartphone work; but only if I hold my finger at a certain angle and press against the screen fairly hard. Overall, I really enjoy these and they provide protection and grip without sacrificing dexterity.

Awesome gloves
These are some awesome gloves. You lose almost no dexterity at all. They fit more like latex gloves, rather than other gloves that are loose fitting and awkward. The "touch" feature works great when using any electronic equipment where touching a screen is involved. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they are not made in the USA. But don't be fooled, these are some very well made gloves. I don't think you will be disappointed. I sure wasn't.

Pig Alpha gloves
Good glove. I have not really put these through their paces, but they are really comfortable while handling a weapon.

Works well
These gloves have worked well. They have provided good dexterity. Trigger control has been fine. I cannot comment on long term durability, since I have not had the gloves long enough (hence 4 star rating instead of 5).

Gloves are tricky to size for me anyways...
I purchased the Ranger Green gloves, looks more OD but anyways. Read the reviews for sizing as well as the SKD sizing guide. My hands fell in the middle of Large and XL so I went with the XL. The trigger finger is to short and snug but the pinky finger is about 2 cm to long. The gloves are nice and snug and the Alpha Touch allows me to contact my men on the cell w/o having to take my gloves on and off. I can also answer the phone on the first call w/o having to call back. The loop sewn in the gloves means I can attach them to my kit and let them air dry. These gloves are super light!
