Sling to vest attachment

[Adam3088]

Hi all, passing the time waiting for my UKARA to come through by trying to sort out which sling to get.

My cheapo dutch assault vest has a clip on each shoulder, is there a sling type which attaches to these? Or do they have another purpose?

Only ones I've seen that will attach to a vest just go through a loop of fabric.

Viper one point slings should work?

You'll be able to buy the plastic clips and a couple of tri-glides or something for pennies to convert a sling yourself!

Purely random selection from eBay to give you an idea:

If your rig isn't snugly fitted, hanging a gun off it will pull it out of position. There's plenty of Molle based single points available that use a T shaped end piece that threads through a MOLLE loop on the back of your shoulder which spread the load a bit better. Personally I'd say use a standard style of single point sling for more range of movement until you decide exactly how you want it to be.

You need a Y sling. I have one for my Condor chest rig.

Awesome, thanks guys. Might go for a regular one point and then convert it to the right connectors depending on how I find it.

So that's what they're called, it's funny how you can use these things for years and yet have no idea what their name is.
