| In January of this year I posted about "why no Wolf Gray slings"? Looks like demand was sufficient for you guys to offer it now! Congrats on what I think is a great move. I'm going to wait till they are offered in the padded version. Hope that is coming soon... |

Thanks for the kudos! As with most of our products, we use a number of proprietary materials and hardware components in the items we build. These slings were a commitment to webbing, sling hardware, and other components that we've never offered before! Glad you like them and we'll keep a close eye on how these perform to determine if a padded option will become available.
Thanks, Stephen |
| I'm sure they will make a padded version if the unpadded sells well. They wont commit to buying a bunch more - and different - material for the padding section in gray if the basic sling doesn't sell well. Makes more sense to wait and see how the unpadded does since that is now a sunk cost. |
I'll throw it in front of the team and see what they say.

I promise I'm not ignoring you, I just don't have any additional info right now. Our next special sling will NOT be a padded Wolf Grey sling though...

You guys are persistent; I'll give you that :-)
Wolf Grey actually does very well for us, but the commitment to bring in new materials in custom colors is high. Please e-mail us at [email protected] if you'd like to see a padded option for Wolf Grey slings and we'll keep a running tally. Thanks, Stephen |

Hi Stephen,
I'm the OP of this thread. It's been since Oct of 2014. Should we all give up on you guys releasing a padded Wolf gray sling? Couldn't you just do a limited run? Gray is the new FDE these days. Isn't the demand there? I mean you made the U Loop in gray.... |
