Description
The PIG Full Dexterity Tactical Alpha FR is the fire-resistant answer to PIG's best-selling Alpha glove, rebuilt from the ground up in materials that stand up to heat. Where the standard Alpha uses synthetic suede, this one puts genuine goatskin leather across the entire palm and fingers, so you get better durability and a grip that molds to your hand as it breaks in. The Nomex body keeps the whole glove flame resistant without turning it into a stiff, clumsy mitt. This is the 2X-Large in Coyote Brown.
What Sets the Alpha FR Apart
The single-layer palm is the whole idea here. Only one layer of leather sits between your hand and the gun, which keeps your feel for the grip and trigger sharp instead of muffling it under padding. The trigger finger is sensitized so you keep precise control, and tailored fourchettes (the side panels between your fingers) let the glove flex and move without bunching up. Leather padded knuckles and isolated knife-edge padding add protection at the spots that take the hits, without the bulk that ruins dexterity.
Touchscreen and Everyday Handling
Like every PIG glove, the thumb and trigger finger use touchscreen-compatible leather, so you can run your phone, tablet, or optic controls without pulling the glove off. Worth knowing up front: that conductive leather has carbon and graphite in it, so expect a little dark color transfer onto your fingertip and thumb early on. A hand wash and some break-in time knocks most of that down.
Fit Notes on the Alpha FR
PIG gloves run snug by design. That tight fit is what delivers the bare-hand feel, so don't be surprised if you have to wrestle them on the first few times. Check the size chart and measure your hand rather than guessing by your usual glove size. A short cuff with a low-profile hook-and-loop wrist strap and a bar-tacked pull loop keep them secure and easy to get on. These are a consumable piece of gear meant to be worn hard, so treat them like the high-performance tool they are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PIG FDT Alpha FR glove actually flame resistant?
Yes. The glove is built from flame resistant materials, with a Nomex body and a genuine goatskin leather palm. That construction is the main reason to choose the FR over the standard Alpha, which uses synthetic suede.
How does the Alpha FR fit and what size should I order?
PIG gloves are built to fit very snug for maximum dexterity, so they'll feel tight at first and may take some wrestling to get on. Measure your hand and go by the PIG size chart rather than assuming your usual glove size. After a full day of wear the leather breaks in and conforms to your hand.
Can I use my phone with the Alpha FR gloves on?
Yes, the thumb and trigger finger use touchscreen-compatible leather so you can run your devices without taking the gloves off. Keep in mind the conductive leather has carbon and graphite in it, so you'll see some dark color transfer onto those fingertips early on. That fades with use and washing.
How is the Alpha FR different from the standard PIG Alpha and the Alpha+?
The standard Alpha uses synthetic suede and is the original best-seller. The Alpha+ bridges the gap by adding an all-leather palm at a lower price than the FR. The Alpha FR goes all in on flame resistance with full Nomex construction plus the goatskin palm, making it the choice when heat protection matters.
