What’s the point in having a cool rifle if you can’t carry it? Slings allow us to comfortably keep that thang on us, but they’re also so much more. Adjustable slings give us several carry methods, as well as an additional option to stabilize our rifles. High Speed Gear has just entered a new sling into the market. Lightweight, water-resistant, and compatible with various mounting hardware, this is the new HSGI Apex Sling.

High Speed Gear news @ TFB:

The Apex™ Sling is a dual-speed, water-resistant, two-point sling designed for adaptability and rapid manipulation. The patent-pending Double-Tap Slider™ allows the user to select either fast or slow adjustment settings by simply changing the orientation of the slider. Universal rabbit/tortoise “throttle” markings indicate which speed is selected, allowing the user to prioritize minimal or maximum resistance based on mission requirements. The Apex™ is built with heavy-duty and high-tech materials for maximum durability and functionality.

High Speed Gear’s NEW Apex Sling

The High Speed Gear Apex Sling is a two-point, adjustable sling. It uses HSGI’s Double-Tap Slider, which allows users to adjust their sling at two speeds, using either high or low friction. The waterproof pad is designed to be lightweight and durable. The tubular webbing used to make the sling is finished with a Schoeller Nanosphere coating. This coating gives the sling its resistance to water, as well as quick-drying properties. The Apex ships with HSGI Clips, but is also compatible with many types of mounting hardware. This sling is available in Black or Coyote Brown.

SPECS

  • Length: 62”
  • Width: 1.88”
  • Sling material: Tubular webbing
  • Hardware material: Steel
  • MSRP: $45.00

If a two-point sling is your two-point thing, head over to High Speed Gear’s website to grab one. Make sure you like and follow HSGI on all of their social pages if you’d like to see more. You can find them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Vimeo. Keep slingin’ lead!

    I know HSGI typically makes solid stuff but I cannot help but look at this sling and think of the potential for snags while using it while wearing a pc.

    Do yourself a favor and skip it!
    I tried every Magpul Buckle, ALICE Clip Sling and stuff in the past. They tend to stuck when you dont want it! Too much friction, too easily.

    The most simple design with the lowest friction works: Edgar Sherman Design Slings.

    Two slings I havent tried yet but I consider worth trying are the Arbor Arms Dual Adjust or its inspiration, the Ares Armor Huskey Mark II EWS.
    But I doubt they will work when soaked in water, like the most slings do not.

      @T243 LMFBO! I was thorough and specific in my description of the Vickers' sling and you still got it confused with another respected sling- the Viking Tactics product. But both the VCAS and VTAC slings were designed and are marketed by two highly respsected former Army Delta/CAG operators- Larry Vickers the VCAS, and Kyle Lamb the VTAC.

      As for your choice- it's a thinner material that doesn't disperse load as well as the Vickers VCAS sling by Blue Force Gear. Your sling's polymer pull sticks out and has a large hole that can snag on gear or kit.

      I'm not a Navy SEAL and neither are you so how a sling performs while totally submerged in water isn't a major factor unless you're LARPing in a hot tub or kiddie pool.

      Excuse me while I choose to ignore your poseur antics going forward.
