PIG (FDT) ALPHA FR GLOVE
First there was the PIG FDT Alpha Glove - still our best selling model, and the one that launched our Glove line. Then we had the Bravo - an FR version in the same design lineage as the Alpha - unfortunately it was never reordered due to supply chain issues with the materials.
Fast forward to 2020, and we're back in the FR glove business with the ALL NEW PIG FDT Alpha FR Gloves! These high dexterity gloves feature construction entirely from flame resistant materials. The biggest material departure from the Alpha gloves is that the entire palm is made of actual Goat skin leather. While it will have a different feel from the synthetic suede on the Alpha glove, the leather palms and fingers will break in very nicely over time and provide better durability over the synthetic suede.
We worked closely with a special tannery that offers Touchscreen Compatible leather for the trigger finger and thumb. One thing you'll need to be aware of is that due to the high carbon and graphite content in the conductive leather, there will be some black color transfer onto your trigger finger and thumb. After wearing several times and allowing the glove to break in, we recommended that you hand wash the gloves and air-dry them to help with the breaking-in process and reduce most of the excess carbon and graphite.

- Touchscreen Compatible Leather thumb and forefinger

- Isolated knife-edge padding
- Bar-tacked webbing wrist pull
