Description
If you're running a rifle without a sling, you're just carrying dead weight. The Padded Vickers changes that equation completely, turning any rifle into a practical tool you can actually use for eight hours straight without your shoulder filing an HR complaint.
Developed with Larry Vickers, a former operator from 1st SFOD-Delta, this sling cuts through the typical two-point sling compromise. It delivers the retention and support you need when the gun's slung, but the second you need it tight across your chest for a shot, the Quick Adjuster pull tab lets you lock it down in one motion. No fumbling with buckles, no wrestling with excess webbing. Just grab and cinch.
What Makes the Padded Version Different
The real win here is the 2" inline closed-cell foam pad. On a standard sling, after a few hours of carry, you start feeling that webbing bite into your collarbone and shoulder. The padding spreads that pressure and actually works—you notice the difference almost immediately when you're moving between stages or hiking to a stand. And because it's closed-cell foam, rain doesn't soak it and add five pounds to your setup. The pad stays put, doesn't migrate up or down, and won't separate or deteriorate.
Built for Actual Use
The webbing is 1.25" CORDURA with a matte finish. It's stiff enough right out of the box to keep the gun from flopping around, but it breaks in fast and stops being a pain to your neck within a range session or two. The adjuster is molded acetal plastic—plenty strong and lighter than metal. Hardware is glass-reinforced nylon that gets sewn on solid. Triglides come installed so you can attach it directly to fixed loops or add extra hardware for QD setups if you want.
Adjustable overall length handles different body sizes and gear configurations, whether you run it stripped or with plate carriers. Blue Force Gear builds these in the USA, and they've sold more of these slings than anyone else in the game. That's not accident—it's because they work.
The Quick Adjuster Tab
The patented Quick Adjuster pulls out from the front section and lets you instantly tighten or loosen the sling while you're moving. That single feature bridges the gap between a hands-free carry and a combat-ready setup. No other sling does this as smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Quick Adjuster work on this padded sling?
The Quick Adjuster pull tab on the front section lets you instantly lengthen or shorten the sling without removing it from your body. Just grab the tab and pull to tighten, release to loosen. It transitions you from hands-free carry to combat-ready in one smooth motion, and once you set the tension, it stays where you put it.
Will the foam padding absorb water or sweat?
No. The 2" pad is made from closed-cell foam that doesn't soak up water or sweat. It stays the same weight whether you're in rain or running a sweat-soaked training event. The padding also won't separate or break down over time.
What firearms does this sling work with?
The Padded Vickers attaches directly to fixed-loop attachment systems found on most rifles, carbines, and shotguns. It comes with nylon triglides already installed. If your rifle has different attachment points, you can purchase additional hardware like QD swivels or snap hooks separately to customize it for your setup.
How long does the sling adjust?
The overall length adjusts from 54" to 64" with the Quick Adjuster tightened. This range accommodates different body sizes and works with or without body armor. You can mount it upside down on some platforms if you prefer a different carry style.
