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.

    Love my PIG's

    Posted by William W on 31st Aug 2016

    These are my favorite gloves, the quality is unmatched and the dexterity is phenomenal. The hook and loop is some of the best on the market. Still working after almost 2 years of everyday wear.

    Awesome

    Posted by Anthony D on 27th Jul 2016

    I absolutely love these gloves. They give me the dexterity that I need fo manipulating turrets on my rifle scope. I had them for about half of my deployment in Iraq and then for about another 6 months ranging from mountainous to urban training. They held up nicely. Only reason I bought a new pair was because someone stole mine... Fortunately for me I found out who took them the day my new ones arrived. Overall great product.

    Buy a size up

    Posted by Daniel on 27th Jul 2016

    Very comfortable gloves. Touchscreen tip (something I don't care about) is Ok. Good for sexting your leadership but don't expect to type much. I read some reviews and bought 2XL instead of my usual XL...glad I did. I don't like skin tight gloves. They retain more heat and I like to be able to get them off fast if bare fingers are required.

    Alpha Touch

    Posted by Johnny on 21st Jul 2016

    I've owned a pair of the Original Model for a long time and recently picked up the Touch for use with a phone etc which I use while running drills. Works as advertised along with several glove improvements.

    Best gloves for handling firearms

    Posted by DP on 4th Jul 2016

    I use these gloves at work and they get a lot of abuse, using a Glock with the RTF finish and loading mag after mag. They give you incredible feel for the weapons you are handling and are very durable. You can't beat the price so I just stock up on them. I've tried the more expensive brands and some of them have some good points but bang for the buck goes to the PIG gloves.

    Very comfortable

    Posted by Joseph Garcia on 30th Jun 2016

    These gloves are very comfortable thanks in part to elasticity across the knuckles. They do offer noticeably more dexterity than other gloves I have used. The materials appear to be of very good quality and they look great. The special threading on the index fingers and thumbs are a very convenient feature when using touch screens while wearing the gloves. I am very pleased with my purchase and I would buy another pair in the future.

    Best gloves ever!

    Posted by David M on 8th Jun 2016

    I have been waiting to buy a set of these for a while. The Tax Day discount made the deal too good to pass up and I finally bought a pair. I wish I had done this 5 years ago. The fit is great and the dexterity is unmatched. I have already bought another pair.
