Abstract: An equipment sling is disclosed. An example equipment sling includes an outer casing having at least one channel formed therein. An inner cord is provided through the channel. A grip material may be provided on the outer casing to substantially maintain a position of the outer casing on a user's shoulder. A liner may be provided in the outer casing to reduce friction between the inner cord and the outer casing. An attachment member on each end of the inner cord can attach the inner cord to an equipment item. The inner cord is configured to travel through the at least one channel formed in the outer casing, while the outer casing remains in a substantially constant position on a user's shoulder, thereby enabling the equipment item to be readily raised for use and lowered for stowage.
