Description
GrovTec built the QS Trek Sling as a ground-up redesign of their classic padded sling, and the changes show up right where it counts. The star of the show is a multi-layer shoulder pad that pairs a grippy non-slip surface with fresh internal padding, all wrapped in tough nylon Cordura. It conforms to your shoulder and spreads the load evenly, so a heavy rifle or shotgun rides comfortably even after you've been on your feet for hours.
What Sets the Trek Sling Apart
The second big upgrade is the tailless Quick Slide. Older sling designs leave a long tail flapping around every time you cinch things down, but this one keeps the adjustment tidy and lets you shorten or lengthen the sling while you're still walking and carrying your gun. Grab it, slide it, keep moving. That kind of quick adjustment matters when you're transitioning from a long walk in to a ready carry, or loosening up to sling the gun across your back.
Hardware and Carry on the QS Trek
This Black version comes with sewn-in 1-inch locking swivels, so the connection to your stud-equipped rifle or shotgun stays put with no worry about accidental release. Sewing the swivels directly into the sling body cuts down on weak points and adds durability over the life of the sling. There's also a thumb loop worked into the design, which gives you a stable, comfortable hold and helps steady the gun when you're carrying it slung and ready.
At right around 10.5 inches folded and just over a third of a pound, it's light enough that you won't notice the extra weight but built stout enough to earn its keep in the field. It's a straightforward, well-made piece of gear for hunters, plinkers, and anyone who wants their long gun to ride easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the QS Trek Sling fit my rifle or shotgun?
It's designed for rifles and shotguns that have standard 1-inch sling studs, which covers the vast majority of hunting long guns. The 1-inch locking swivels are sewn right into the sling and clip onto those studs. If your gun doesn't have factory studs, you'd need to add them before mounting.
What makes the tailless Quick Slide different from a normal adjustable sling?
The Quick Slide lets you change the length on the fly without a long leftover tail hanging off the buckle. You can loosen or tighten it while you're walking with the gun slung, which is handy when moving between carry positions. It keeps things clean and fast in the field.
Is the shoulder pad comfortable for carrying a heavy gun?
The pad is a multi-layer build with fresh internal padding and a non-slip outer surface, all sealed in durable Cordura. It conforms to your shoulder and spreads the weight out evenly, which helps a lot on longer carries. The non-slip surface also keeps it from sliding off your shoulder as you walk.
Does this version come with locking swivels or push-button swivels?
This black GTSL123 model comes with sewn-in 1-inch locking swivels. GrovTec also makes a separate version of the Trek Sling with push-button (QD-style) swivels, so if you specifically want quick-detach hardware, check the model number before ordering.
