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.

Best Fit for Big Hands
First of all; these gloves fit me better than any I've ever worn (2XL) and that is why I keep buying them after several pairs have worn out. If the palm material was more durable I'd give them 5 stars. Second; Shipping was fast and Gloves were as ordered. Thanks!

Good looking Gloves
I use these gloves for range work like building targets, setting up defensive barriers, lifting, moving stuff. And I use them for shooting, manipulations, loading mags, all that stuff. My first pair got chewed up pretty good, fingers broke through on middle and index fingers on both hands, and thumb broke through on both hands from reloading mags. I wanted to put this pair through the gauntlet because I still haven't found a pair that works for me. I did buy a second pair though, because they're not any worst than other tactical gloves, but at least they look a whole lot better.

great gloves
Best gloves on the market. I'd recommend these to anyone even if they don't shoot. Would make great mechanic gloves, racing gloves, general use gloves, etc. Great for warm or cool weather. I've worn them camping and moved around lots of firewood and hacked with machetes and they still look brand new. Highly recommended.

PIG FDT Alpha Touch Gloves
These gloves are the SHIT. If only I had known about them during my stay in USMC 1/6 wpns. Co. They hug tight without choking and they feel like a second skin. They're not designed to last forever but, they do exactly what they're supposed to. Clammy hands during the summer and slick-grip shooting can be a real bitch. The SKD website is among the coolest. I was sold when I saw the picture of the gent posing the "two in the pink, one in the stink" to show the gloves dexterity haha. I will certainly be back for more. Thank you and Semper Fi

Great gloves, iffy touch screen capability
I have an older pair of the FDT gloves and love them, so when I saw a clearance on the touch-screen-compatible version, I jumped on it. They fit and feel just as good as the originals (my favorite shooting gloves by far), but the touch-screen wiring in the trigger finger and thumb is hit-or-miss. I'd like to try the next gen and see if they've improved that capability.
