Dude said it would ship Monday. I'll let you know how I like it. 
Looks comfy and more flexible then nylon or leather slings.

Rifle one looks interesting.  i would be interest to know if the sling is comfortable.  I saw the bino cords as well, those look really neat.

Besides being comfortable, i wonder how well it does staying put on you shoulder.

We use the stuff on the river drift fishing for steelhead and salmon, it works great.

It's kind of cool, esp. if you ended up in an emergency situation...and it's a little like a friendship bracelet for your favorite gal.

Just put it on today. It was stiff at first, but seems to be becoming more flexible as I wore it around today.
Pretty comfortable, for not being padded. You can lengthen it to sling across your back and is well built, from what I could tell. 

I didn't have much time to fool with it today, because I was too bust "slurping" over my new SS 1-4x most of the day.
