Description
Allen built the Trak Traction Web Sling for folks who spend real time carrying a rifle, whether that means still-hunting through timber or hauling gear to and from the range. The heart of it is a molded BAKTRAK pad that spreads the weight of your rig across your shoulder so long walks don't leave you shifting and readjusting every hundred yards. The traction webbing does exactly what the name says, gripping your jacket or shirt so the sling stays where you set it instead of sliding off your shoulder at the worst moment.
What Sets the Trak Traction Sling Apart
The strap runs three inches wide, which is a big part of why it carries comfortably. Wider webbing means less digging in under the weight of a loaded rifle, and the non-slip surface keeps everything steady when you're moving. It adjusts anywhere from 20 to 36 inches, so you can cinch it tight for a close, tactical carry or let it out to sling a rifle over a heavy coat during cold-weather hunts. The subdued Veil Tac Gray pattern blends into a lot of terrain without screaming for attention, which is nice whether you're in the field or just prefer a low-key look.
QD Swivels That Actually Hold Up
The included Quick Detach swivels are the real convenience here. They let you snap the sling on or pull it off in a second, which matters when you're loading up the truck, cleaning your rifle, or switching between guns. Allen tests these swivels to hold up to 500 pounds, so there's plenty of margin for even a heavy hunting rifle or loaded-out AR.
A Practical Pick from a Trusted Name
Allen has been making cases, slings, and gear since 1970, and the Trak reflects that no-nonsense approach. It's a dependable, comfortable sling that covers hunting, range days, and everyday carry duty without a lot of fuss. If you want something that just works and keeps your rifle riding easy, this one earns its spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How wide is the Allen Trak sling and how does that affect comfort?
The Trak sling uses a 3-inch wide web strap paired with a molded BAKTRAK pad. That extra width spreads the weight of your rifle over more of your shoulder, so it digs in less on long carries. Combined with the traction webbing, it stays put instead of slipping around.
Will the QD swivels on the Trak sling hold a heavy rifle?
Yes. The included Quick Detach swivels are tested to hold up to 500 pounds, which is far more than any rifle will ever put on them. That gives you a solid safety margin whether you're carrying a heavy hunting rifle or a loaded-out AR platform.
How much does the Allen Trak sling adjust?
The sling adjusts from 20 inches all the way out to 36 inches. That range lets you run it short and snug for a tactical carry or let it out to sling over bulky cold-weather clothing. It works well across different body sizes and carry preferences.
Does the Veil Tac Gray pattern work in different environments?
The Veil Tac Gray pattern is a subdued, muted design that blends into a variety of terrain rather than being locked to one specific setting. It provides decent concealment in the field while keeping a low-key look. Plenty of folks also just like it because it isn't flashy.
