Overview

The Blue Force Gear Vickers Padded Sling represents the evolution of the legendary Vickers Combat Applications Sling (VCAS), developed in collaboration with Larry Vickers, a former 1st SFOD-Delta operational member. The addition of a 2-inch closed-cell foam pad transforms this already exceptional sling into the ideal choice for heavier rifle configurations with suppressors, lights, lasers, and thermals.

The patented Quick Adjuster mechanism bridges the gap between transporting and fighting, allowing instant transition from hands-free carry to combat-ready position with a simple pull. Unlike traditional padded slings, the Vickers pad is inline with the webbing and won't slide or shift during movement. The closed-cell foam construction prevents water absorption and maintains its shape and cushioning properties throughout years of use.

With over 300,000 Vickers Slings in service across all branches of the US military and allied forces, the design has been battle-proven in every operating environment. The padded version excels for shooters running lighter clothing without body armor, or those carrying heavier weapons for extended periods. The combination of premium Invista Cordura webbing, choice of nylon or metal hardware, and made-in-USA quality backed by a lifetime warranty makes this the professional's choice for serious rifle work.
