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.

Read the disclaimer!!!
Just got em today... Gloves are nice just what I expected however the left index finger is twisted over 90 degrees(not comfortable). If I had remembered the disclaimer, I could have returned them for new ones. also I think a bit overprices for the materials used. Thanks for the wicked fast shipping SKD.

Well worth the money!
Excellent gloves! Good fit, good feel and the Touch works perfectly. The Velcro strap cold stand to be 1/4" - 1/2" longer though.

Great gloves
I'm a former Army Ranger from the early 90's era and a 21 year veteran with 6 combat tours and 2 non-combat tours to my credit. I never had the privilege of great equipment all the time. Now, with advancements in our understanding of the needs on today's battlefield, and newer technologies, the spectrum of available equipment for the light tactical person is almost endless. I have used many different styles and brands of tactical gloves over the years and I've got to say that these PIG gloves are definitely among the best. They fit very snugly to the hand and fingers. There is padding on the back side of the gloves to give additional protection to your knuckles. I wouldn't say that they're fully dexterous. But they're dog gone close by far. I'm not sure how rugged they are, but I'll find out soon. All in all, I think they're very comfortable gloves that would be well suited in temperature ranges from 40 degrees plus. I certainly recommend them for light tactical operations.

Need Improvement w/design & QC
When the description says, "consumable product" and "eventually wear out," you expect that to mean weeks, if not months. But hours? I drank in the hype and ordered the PIG FDT Alpha Touch in black and I received them promptly and correctly. I bought them for patrol and SWAT team use...as I believe they are intended. For patrol use they're fine. You can drive, type, write notes, draw a gun, manipulate all the gear on your belt and even flip your district partner the bird when appropriate. However, I used them during our 16 hour SWAT training cycle and reality set in. After hours on the range loading mags, shooting mags, loading mags, shooting mags, officer down drills, breaching doors, and running the O-course several of the seams on the fingers came undone and the seam along the top padding gave up, exposing the pad. The extra seam in the trigger finger is unnecessary and the cut between the index and thumb should be deeper for better, deeper pistol grip in the V.

Great while they lasted
I used these gloves from every day patrol to riding ATV's on the beach for patrol. They were very comfortable, even in extreme heat. However they did not last a long time, they started to rip on the back of the wrist.

Look and Feel Great, but....defeated by a kalash.
these fit like a second skin, and the finish is great. right out of the package i was impressed. bought these for a shoot in NH over the weekend. but once i was shooting the thumb literally started to fall apart within the first 2 hours of the course. for the price I'm really disappointed this happened, i know changing mags on Kalash can be a little rough. but seriously?! falling apart that quick. not even at just the seems but the entire material on the thumb was not able to stand up to the rigors of a simple mag release. understand you sacrifice a lot of durability for the ability to have great dexterity. it is what it is i suppose.
