Description
The ESD Padded Sling from Edgar Sherman Design is a padded two-point sling for shooters who carry a heavier rifle. A 16.5 inch pad with closed-cell foam sits on the shoulder, and the ESD pull tab handles quick length changes.
Under the Cordura shell is 0.25 inch closed-cell EVA foam, and the skin side uses a four-way stretch fabric that resists abrasion. ESD adds a carabiner loop for tripod or maritime tethering. The adjustment range is more than 20 inches. Both ends are open-ended with tri-glides, and no swivels come with it. Hand-made in the USA with Berry Amendment materials.
Black matches any rifle and any belt setup, and it is the colorway ESD keeps in stock most consistently.
