Product Description After years of demand, Edgar Sherman Design created a padded version of their acclaimed rifle sling. The ESD Padded Rifle Sling retains the iconic front section and signature ESD Pull Tab from the standard model, while adding a 0.25" thick closed-cell EVA foam pad for superior comfort during extended carry. The pad slides fore and aft along the sling to accommodate different body types and rifle configurations, and its soft, four-way stretch outer layer keeps all seams hidden on top to prevent neck irritation. Rather than sewing traditional one-inch webbing through the pad - which causes localized pressure - ESD engineered a coreless body using multiple layers of Cordura oriented in their strongest pull direction, distributing the full weight of your rifle evenly across the pad&';s entire 2-inch width. Excess webbing stows away cleanly via the elastic regulator, and a laminate carabiner loop doubles as a tripod shooting attachment and maritime tether point. Handmade in the USA and Berry Amendment compliant, this sling represents the pinnacle of American-made rifle sling craftsmanship. Product Highlights Advanced Weight Displacement: Coreless multi-layer Cordura body eliminates webbing-core compression, spreading rifle load evenly across the full 2-inch pad width for maximum comfort. 0.25" Closed-Cell EVA Foam Pad: Firm yet comfortable 16.5" x 2" pad with a soft, abrasion-resistant four-way stretch outer layer and hidden top seams to prevent skin friction. ESD Pull Tab and Quick-Adjust System: Signature pull tab offers enhanced grip and effortless one-handed length adjustment, even under load. Elastic Regulator and Carabiner Loop: Integrated elastic regulator doubles as a sling storage containment device, while the laminate loop accepts a carabiner for tripod shooting or maritime tethering. Handmade in the USA, Berry Amendment Compliant: Crafted with premium domestic materials and construction for professional-grade durability and regulatory compliance.
