Old school
My daughter “stole” my rack and almost all my gear, and with it my pink padded gear sling from the bygone 80’s, punk, and Lycra days. Prefer trad pieces on a sling so I can move it around and scrum my hips in chimneys, corners, and wide cracks. This sling is just like the old one, highly adjustable, padded, and comfy. Though I’d gladly trade the purple padded for my trusty old pink.

What a sling
Wow, you would think there is only so much you could say about a nylon runner sewn to a piece of foam but let me tell you BD has totally hit it out of the park with this one. 2023 is the year we bring back the padded sling, so beat the hype and get that gear off your harness before your friends. Only downside, picture shows a pretty dope purple but mine came blue… still neat!

A great way to organize and store gear. Much better than stuffing everything in a bag at the end of a climb

One of a kind!
Great for carying your rack (double rack in my case). I also like to carry it on route for the follower to pick-up gear. Must item in my opinion.

Built for the long haul
Definitely a must if you're always hauling even a small trad rack. It helps to keep it organized getting it in or out of your backpack, and certainly makes it way more comfortable when sorting gear at the bottom of a route or re-racking at the end of a long day at the crag. Has enough space for a double rack of cams up to #4 a set of stoppers and a good count of quickdraws and alpine slings.

Not purple
Well I thought I was ordering purple, I guess blue is cool... haven’t used it yet but seems like a good gear sling!

Good adjustable gear sling that distributes the weight with the wide padded shoulder strap.

Great Product
We own a climbing gym and this has been an awesome tool for all of our staff. We use it whenever we have the change to get away and climb outdoors. Highly recommend this product.
