If you’ve ever worn tactical gloves while shooting and wished for something better… your wish is now reality.

Over 2 years in the making, the PIG FDT-Alpha Touch Glove (Patented) 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-Alpha Touch Gloves were designed from the ground up to minimize impact on the shooter’s grip.

Based on user feedback from hundreds of customers who didn't want anything changed on the glove, we opted to keep the material the same so as not to compromise the tactile dexterity, and go with a Conductive Thread that contains genuine Silver to ensure positive and reliable touch screen compatibility.

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 the pre-eminent designer from an industry that actually makes gloves that fit really well- the sports glove industry.

Featuring several industry firsts, the FDT-Alpha Touch 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.


FEATURES (* indicates industry firsts for a tactical glove):

    • *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.

 

    • *Silver Conductive Thread- Maximum reliability for touch screen use with no loss in tactile dexterity.

 

    • 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.

 

    • 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.


While the PIG FDT-Alpha Touch Gloves will be some of the highest quality gloves you own, given the nature of the job we expect them to do, they are NOT designed to outlast the Apocalypse. We believe that the trade off in extreme dexterity and sensitivity for perceived durability is well worth it, and far better than the old-school “cut off the finger tips” or “go bare handed” solutions.

At the end of the day, the PIG FDT-Alpha Touch Gloves are 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.

    Amazing dexterity

    Posted by AW on 3rd Aug 2018

    I bought some mechanic gloves awhile back. They are of decent quality and well made, until I tried the PIg gloves. There really is no comparison when comparing these gloves mechanix in terms of dexterity and features. I wouldnÕt limit their use to just the range or classes but driving and yard work as well. These gloves are awesome.

    Awesome Gloves

    Posted by Joe Thomas on 3rd Aug 2018

    The clearance price was GREAT and the gloves were just like my other pairs, AWESOME! The only reason I give them just 4 stars is the stitching across the knuckle pad of the left glove was unraveled and the pad sticking out. Other than that, very pleased with the gloves.

    PIG gloves are the bees knees!

    Posted by William Vernon on 26th Mar 2018

    Used the PIG FDT Alpha Touch Gloves this weekend in hot Texas heat while at rifle training. They never got hot - great ventilation. I still had great control over my rifle, could still feel all the controls through the gloves.

    Awesome gloves

    Best fit gloves I have found ever. First heard of them on nutnfancy on YouTube.com and he was more than right about the quality and fit. Even after using them while moving, the sensitivity for the smartphone worked great!! I highly recomend these gloves to anyone in any pursuit.

    impressive as all get out

    Posted by TX Thin Blue Line on 26th Jan 2018

    I purchased a pair for duty use in November of 2013 and I still carry the same pair. The fabric on the padding at the knuckles is coming loose but other than that they have held up phenomenal. I use them several times a week for searches and shooting. I am damn impressed with these and Im on here right now ordering a new pair.

    Great Gloves but fingers too short

    Posted by Jim Roscher on 15th Jan 2018

    Just received these gloves in 2xl. Gloves are well made but the fingers are way too short. So if you have big hands with short fingers, these are your gloves. Otherwise, find a different pair.

    Gift

    Posted by Doak Carswell on 15th Dec 2017

    I already own a pair of these gloves and am highly satisfied with their performance. They impressed me enough that I bought this new pair as a Christmas gift for my brother. I am sure that he will be pleased with them.

    Great gloves with outstanding feel

    Posted by Gregg Franklin on 30th Oct 2017

    I have had a great deal of trouble finding a glove with good protection that delivers good tactile feedback. These gloves fit the bill perfectly. I just a normal guy and I use these gloves when I'm on the range and when I'm doing tire changes when I'm at the track. I can easily pick up small parts and the feel when I'm on the trigger is superb. With SKD's return policy you have no reason to give these a try!
