Description
The PIG Full Dexterity Tactical Alpha FR Glove takes everything that made the original Alpha a favorite among shooters and adds flame resistance to the mix. Built entirely from FR-rated materials, it uses a Nomex construction to handle high heat while a single-layer goatskin leather palm keeps the fit thin and the feel natural. This is the Ranger Green colorway in 2X-Large, so folks with larger hands can get the same precision fit the FDT line is known for.
What Sets the Alpha FR Glove Apart
The biggest change from the standard Alpha is that whole leather palm. Instead of synthetic suede, you get real goat skin that breaks in over time and molds to your hand, which tends to mean better long-term durability and grip. PIG worked with a specialty tannery to source touchscreen-compatible leather for the thumb and trigger finger, so you can run your phone or tablet without peeling a glove off. Worth knowing up front: the conductive leather carries carbon and graphite content, so expect some black color transfer onto your fingertips early on. A hand wash and air dry helps it break in and knocks down most of that excess.
Built for Weapon Handling and Heat
Where a lot of FR gloves turn your hands into bricks, the Alpha FR stays true to the platform. The single-layer palm puts just one layer of material between your grip and the gun, and the sensitized, isolated trigger finger keeps that fine-motor control intact. Leather-padded knuckles and isolated knife-edge padding add protection without piling on bulk, and tailored fourchettes help the glove move with your hand. A bar-tacked webbing wrist pull makes them easier to yank on, while the low-profile hook-and-loop strap locks the fit at the wrist.
A Note on Fit and Feel
PIG gloves run snug by design, since they're optimized for handgun work with no loss in dexterity. Plan to wrestle them on the first time. Once broken in, the leather conforms and most people end up preferring that tighter, glove-like feel. Do check the sizing chart before you commit, since these fit tighter than a lot of everyday work gloves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PIG FDT Alpha FR Glove actually flame resistant?
Yes. It's built entirely from FR-rated materials, with a Nomex construction for the shell to handle high-heat environments. The goatskin leather palm rounds out the fire-resistant build while giving you grip and a natural feel.
How does the Alpha FR fit compared to other gloves?
PIG gloves run snug on purpose because they're designed for maximum gun-handling dexterity. Expect a tight fit the first time on, sometimes described as having to wrestle them onto your hand. The leather palm breaks in and conforms over time, and most people come to prefer that closer fit. Check the sizing chart before ordering since they run tighter than typical work gloves.
Why do my fingertips turn black when wearing these?
That's normal for the FR version. The touchscreen-compatible leather on the thumb and trigger finger has high carbon and graphite content, which causes some black color transfer early on. Hand washing and air drying the gloves helps break them in and reduces most of the excess.
Can I use a touchscreen with the Alpha FR Glove on?
You can. PIG sourced touchscreen-compatible leather specifically for the thumb and forefinger, so you can operate phones, tablets, and other devices without taking the gloves off. That's handy when you're running gear and don't want to keep pulling a glove on and off.
