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.

    If you shoot enough, you should buy specific use gloves instead of gloves made for construction work. These glove rock!

    Magic Gloves

    I'm not sure if it's the Unicorn Pubis in the fingertips, but these gloves are the best I've had. I currently own two pairs, and plan on owning more. They're great for everything from pulling weeds, to going out on the range. They go with me everywhere. Comfortable, breathable, flexible, and the list goes on and on. If you're in the market for some damn good gloves, or on the fence about purchasing these, do yourself a favor and pull the trigger! Highly Recommend!

    The only glove for me now

    I am a big fan of Mechanix Original & Vented gloves, but I just found my new favorite glove! These fit snug, no extra material, great finger movement. Another fantastic product offered by SKD. Love both the Gen 1 & the Original...you'll be happy with either! Fantastic customer service and a great supporter of ARFCOM and it's members! Thank you

    Excellence at a great price

    Great fit, love the dexterity of the gloves. Had to repair one finger as the stitching started pulling prematurely, not a negative because of the deal I got on these gloves. Super comfortable while shooting.

    Alpha FDT

    Posted by Taylor Nelson on 7th Mar 2017

    These are the most comfortable gloves I've ever worn. I love how the finger tips have no seams that constantly dig under the finger nail. The material choices are in the exact right place. I can reach into my pocket without taking my glove off but more importantly I can feel the trigger as if I had no glove on. One minor thing is the stitching in the index finger on the pad (not the structural edge) started coming out. However, this glove is so well made with redundant stitching overlapping other stitching, that only one line of stitching came off and then stopped due to the aforementioned redundancy in stitching. Well made.

    Gloves

    These gloves are amazing. It's keeps the dexterity of your fingers feeling like your almost not wearing any gloves at all. It's also a nice addition to now be able to use my phone and still wear the gloves.

    These PIGs had me since 2013

    Posted by Marco Jimenez on 27th Feb 2017

    By far the best gloves I've purchased; These are my third pair and use them for almost everything from training, riding motorcycle, car repairs, climbing, snowboarding and (though you shouldn't but I did). Putting these puppies to work and I'll keep on buying them. 1st pair: I lost one of the gloves, an excuse to buy another pair. 2nd pair:factory seconds they last me for 2 years 3rd pair: in progress and feel like my last two pairs.
