PIG FDT Glove Sizing Chart
Ladies- tired of wearing men's tactical gloves that aren't the right fit? If you’ve ever wanted something better… your wish is now reality. Over 2 years in the making, the PIG FDT-Charlie Glove (Patented) uses gender-specific patterns to bring the perfect tactical fit of the FDT-Alpha gloves to the female shooter or operator. The FDT-Charlie offers ground breaking dexterity while providing much needed protection from the rigors of tactical work.
Developed by a Rogers Shooting School“Advanced” graduate with over a decade of experience in instructing Military and Law Enforcement personnel, the FDT-Charlie Gloves were designed to minimize impact on the female shooter’s grip. Instead of following the tired old routine of reinventing the Aviator Flight Glove, or making a “cool-looking" glove with padding and layers in all the wrong places, the PIG design team partnered with a sports-glove industrial designer to ensure that all the sizing benchmarks for women's gloves were met while maintaining the functional tactical design features of the PIG FDT-Alpha glove.
Featuring several industry firsts, the FDT-Charlie allows unfettered access to all your firearms controls and manipulations, without the overwhelming bulk of unnecessary padding and layers. When it comes to gloves you can shoot with, contrary to most of the other tactical gloves on the market, less IS more… the less you feel your gloves, the better you can shoot with them. As with ALL PIG Full Dexterity Tactical Gloves manufactured after summer 2015, the trigger fingers and thumbs feature conductive material to work with your touchscreen 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.
- Bar-Tacked Para Cord Pull Loop... YES, BAR-TACKED..
- Short Cuff - Lightweight comfort and convenience.
- Micro Suede Nose Wipe - Fights against cold-weather drip.
- 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.
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. Priced competitively for the non-FR women's utility glove market, the PIG FDT-Charlies are the latest in a ground-breaking line of tactical gloves from PIG.

Fantastic for shooting
I love these gloves. I started wearing them in the mornings just to keep my hands warm because I love how they feel. They fit so snug (but are not restrictive) and make my hands feel impermeable and I want to wear them all the time. Yesterday I took them to the range and they were incredible! They easily fit into all the guns (9mm, 45 auto, 38 special/357 Magnum, 44 magnum) and drastically decreased the impact of the kickback. these allowed me to withstand the 44 Magnum for about ten rounds, enough to actually aim, which otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to do. My buddy who was with me was so envious now I'm going to buy him a pair. Touch screen part is passable - not easy, but it works. Get these gloves!!

Skd is excellent, gloves fit weird.
Skd has super fast shipping and great as always. The pig gloves are my favorite but they fit a little different than the size chart. I also wish they made the more relaxed in the palm/hand area but not such long fingers. My fingers are normal length and want the gloves to come right to the top for dexterity, but unfortunately to they make the palm size too small. I don't need the gloves to be so tight in the hand area.

PIG Tactical Gloves
I purchased the PIG Tactical gloves to use when shooting rifles. I have small hands, but the small gloves were too tight. Not to worry, some of my lady shooters wanted them. I ended up ordering a medium and they fit perfectly. Feel good on my hands and I can shoot my AR with ease. They are not bulky like some of the other glove and have a good grip. I am a leader of a ladies gun group and they love them. SKD, expect some more orders!

Great overall work glove
I love me PG Tactical gloves, so I purchased a set for the Mrs since she's always looking for a comfortable and durable set of quality work gloves to do yard work and projects in. The gloves fit great and she has great dexterity in them. Now I just have to get her to the range so she can REALLY test them out. :) Great product overall. Well made, comfortable, and built to last. Can't recommend the PIG Tactical gloves enough. You won't regret buying pair.

I have 2 pairs of PIG gloves
I have put these gloves through alot of use. Dirt, mud, every kind of weather. They don't make my hand sweat and even though they are not very heavy, they do keep them reasonably warm when it's cold up here. (We shoot outdoors all year). Great bang for the buck, but get them to fit. Don't get bigger ones. Measure your hand and go down a size if you are on the fence. They'll stretch a tiny bit...not much, but you want them tight. My first pair I bought a medium and my second pair I bought a small (I don't have little hands).

Finally a glove that fits a woman's hand!
Obviously if it has the SKD tag on it it's a well-designed and well-made product but what sets this a part in the marketplace is that it is actually made for women. My wife has attended several all day advanced pistol courses with me and we were always trying to find a solution to keep her hands from getting rubbed raw and also give her a bit more grip when racking the slide. We tried Mechanixs Small gloves (because XS is never ever in stock anywhere) and they were way too big. We ordered Small in the Charlie glove and if anything they are a hair too tight on her but should be perfect once they break in. I suspect a Medium Charlie would've also worked for those who have tried mechanixs gloves and were wondering the size comparison. She was amazed in our last range session at how nice shooting can be when you have a good pair of gloves!
