The Patented Vickers Padded Sling combines with the tactical sling capability of the Vickers Sling with the added comfort of a padded rear section. The 2” inline pad doesn’t move up or down the sling and is made from closed cell foam that won’t separate or gain water weight. The front section with the Quick Adjuster allows the user to instantly lengthen and shorten the sling - quickly transitioning from a “hands-free” carry to a shooting position with a simple pull of the Adjuster.
Able to quickly transition from carrying a slung rifle comfortably to combat ready, the patent pending Quick Adjuster has bridged the gap between the two primary uses of weapon slings – from transporting to fighting. All Vickers Padded Slings™ are built with precision and pride right here at home in the US with superior materials.
The Vickers Padded Sling attaches directly to fixed loop firearm attachment systems. Additional hardware can be purchased and added to the front and backend of the sling for more firearm attachment methods.
"The Vickers Padded Sling is without doubt the most comfortable combat carry sling I have ever slung around my shoulders." - Shotgun News, March 2015, Vol 69 - Issue 9, pg 18
Nylon Hardware: The all new Nylon Hardware version features all newly designed DuPont Zytel® nylon - which is lighter, stronger, and more flexible than traditional plastic sling hardware. The majority of the BFG slings shipped to the US Military feature Nylon Hardware.
Metal Hardware: The Metal Hardware version of the Vickers Padded Sling features a machined aluminum Adjuster that is hardcoat anodized matte black and combined with phosphated steel trigldides. The Metal Hardware slings provide more strength than will ever be needed in a weapon sling - perfect for those apocalypse guns and the “all metal” type of shooters.
The 2” inline pad doesn’t move up or down the sling and is made from closed cell foam that won’t separate or gain water weight.
For additional color options for your sling, simply use the Custom Sling Builder: Kryptek Highlander, Kryptek Typhon, Multicam Black, Multicam Arid, Multicam Tropic and more colors are available.

First one ever owned. Love it!
vickers is a great sling fast adjustment and all around the best sling
Purchased for my Jakl and it’s perfect. Like they were made for each other. I had a custom one made and was well worth the price I paid.
Sling is really just that good. Durable, easy to use and wash. Love customizing my own. Definitely worth the price. The time wasn't too bad for the middle of the holidays, either.
I have been using vickers slings since the corps in 2013, used them as a contractor and even had them make me one custom. My go to slings are from vickers Do yourself a favor and get one.
This sling is perfect for my AR. The QC/QD feature and also RED is exactly what I was looking for. I received my sling in about 5-6 days. The quality is top notch and the adjustability is simple and fast. It’s a little on the pricey side, but with a lifetime guarantee and the quality of the product.. the cost isn’t an issue. The padded version is definitely the better option in my opinion. I’m a big guy and still have plenty of room to adjust. I will be buying again for my AK and other AR’s.
Ordered a custom one It's very good and exactly what I wanted.
Great, sling quality and quick shipping. Unfortunately I mistakenly put that I want metal hardware and didn’t realize that was talking about adjusters. Make sure to add what you want to use to attach it to your rifle. Currently waiting for QD swivels
My tactical guns all have these and they love them. Great quality and value.
