For mismatched sling/pad combos, use code mixandmatch for a discount. Forgot to lift weights for the last 8 years and now your gun feels too heavy to carry? Now you can continue putting off getting stronger until battle rifles come back into fashion. The Pad is an intentional, substantial addition to your 1" sling that helps distribute the weight of your rifle and reduce fatigue over time. It also looks really rad. The Pad is about 3/8" thick, wrapped in 500-1000D Cordura and filled with waterproof closed-cell foam that won't take up moisture during extended heated larping sessions. Like all Wellsmade Co. products, The Pad is 100% Made in the USA.
