Review on 🧀 Enhanced Full Dexterity Tactical (FDT) Alpha Gloves - Advanced Finger Protection for Shooting Sports by James Auzenne

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fit for purpose. would recommend. Ideas for size and durability

Depending on the length of the fingers and the width of the palm, "small" should fit. I'm 5'10, 190 and in good shape but have small arms and legs. But I ordered them in "average". Arrived on April 22nd (2 days) and they fit damn perfect - a bit tight when first worn but I've flexed my arms a few times and the fit is almost perfect. Inspect them carefully for loose stitching or other manufacturing defects. Nothing found. He owns various firearms: Bolt and MSR, pump-action shotguns and pistols. These gloves fit my hands (they leave the face of my watch visible and completely cover my palms). They protect against hot barrels and sharp edges without significantly affecting dexterity - I can use the touchscreen, write with a pen/pencil, turn pages in a spiral notepad, drive a car, reload magazines, fly a yoke or stick and feel like /c makes and uses weapons effectively. I've only had it for a few days so I can't comment on durability yet. I wonder if some users' experience of splitting/excessive finger wear - while others don't - is cramming 5 pounds of dexterity into a 4 pound glove. I understand they need a functional fit. But you have a hard time imagining yourself wearing the recommended "Small" with these gloves. I expected them to be too tight. If you've used them in the past and they don't last long: choose larger. See if they fit snug enough and last longer - or not. If this is your first time trying these gloves on: Size up and see if they fit you. If they're too loose (I'm surprised), send them back. General Impressions: A) They were a bit tight around the ankles when first putting them on, but I flexed my arms 10-20 times and held a clenched fist for 60 seconds. she stretched enough. Overall fit: excellent. B) The wrapping of the fingertip design MUST be transferred to the thumb. Sir, be careful. C) Covering the joints seems to be enough to protect the joints unless you box every day. It's also good for wiping your glasses or nose. D) The soft rim of the palm (below the little finger) provides good to excellent protection against impact to muscle or bone. Concrete block or 2X probably not. E) I expect them to last a year, plus or minus, and I will have no problem buying another pair if they last. SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSE. I will update in six months - sooner if they fail sooner. If they don't fall apart, I consider them a good buy for less than $50. That's how much the green pair OD 04/2021 cost.

Pros
  • COMFORTABLE AND DRY HANDS. The twisted fingertip means that the seams no longer get caught under the nails! The ventilation material on the inner grids is vented for maximum moisture absorption. The outer forchettes are made of durable synthetic suede.
Cons
  • Some difficulties
