NAVCOM Air-Web Shoulder Pad – Comfort That Lasts All Day
At the core of the Kodiak-Air sling is Limbsaver’s proprietary NAVCOM® (Noise and Vibration Control Material) with an Air-Web pattern:
The vented, web-style pad distributes the weight of your firearm across your shoulder, reducing hot spots and pressure points that cause fatigue.
Air gaps in the pad help keep you cool and comfortable, even during warm early-season hunts or long summer range days.
NAVCOM’s naturally grippy, non-slip texture helps keep the sling from sliding off your shoulder as you move, climb, or glass.
The result is one of the most comfortable firearm slings on the market, designed specifically to make long walks with a rifle feel easier.
Extra-Bendable Flex-Tech Design – Molds to Your Body
Limbsaver engineered the Kodiak-Air with an extra bendable Flex-Tech design, so the sling works with your body instead of against it:
The sling molds and bends to the contours of your body, whether you’re wearing a T-shirt, heavy jacket, or pack straps.
This flexibility keeps the sling comfortable and secure in demanding terrain—steep hillsides, thick brush, or rocky creek crossings.
Less rigid than traditional nylon-only slings, it reduces rubbing and digging, especially during long hikes.
If you’re the kind of hunter who puts in serious miles, this Flex-Tech construction is a big upgrade in all-day comfort.
Ergonomic, Adjustable Hand Grip – More Control, Better Handling
A standout feature of the Kodiak-Air 12297 is its ergonomic, adjustable hand grip built into the sling strap:
The grip slides along the webbing and locks securely into place, letting you position it exactly where your hand naturally lands.
Provides improved control over your rifle while you’re walking, climbing into a stand, or navigating uneven ground.
Helps stabilize the firearm as you carry it muzzle-up or muzzle-down, reducing the chances of banging your gun on rocks, trees, or stands.
This adjustable hand grip isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a smart feature that gives you better balance and handling in the field.
Black NAVCOM Pad + Realtree Xtra Green Nylon – Built for the Hunt
This model pairs a black NAVCOM shoulder pad with Realtree Xtra Green nylon webbing for both performance and camouflage:
Realtree Xtra Green is designed to blend into vibrant early-season foliage, timber edges, and mixed terrain—perfect for spring turkey, summer hogs, and early archery or rifle seasons.
The black pad provides a clean, tactical accent that looks great on modern bolt guns, AR-pattern hunting rifles, and classic wood-stocked rifles alike.
The combination of camo strap and black pad ensures the sling disappears into your gear, rather than drawing attention.
If you want a sling that looks as serious as your rifle, the Black/Realtree Xtra Green combo delivers.
Fully Adjustable 1" Narrow Sling – Lightweight & Versatile
The narrow 1" width of the Kodiak-Air 12297 makes it especially well-suited for lighter rifles and compact builds:
Slim profile keeps weight down, making it ideal for mountain rifles, youth guns, AR carbines, and lightweight hunting rigs.
Easy to thread through tight sling loops or compact stocks that won’t accept wider 2" straps.
Fully adjustable length lets you size the sling for over-the-shoulder carry, cross-body carry, or when wearing heavy outerwear.
Despite its narrow width, the NAVCOM Air-Web pad ensures you still get excellent comfort and weight distribution.
Universal Fit for Rifles, Shotguns, and Muzzleloaders
While often marketed as a rifle sling, the Kodiak-Air 12297 is a great match for:
Bolt-action and semi-auto rifles used for deer, elk, hogs, and predators
Shotguns used for turkey, upland, waterfowl, or slug hunting
Muzzleloaders that need a comfortable, secure carry option during late-season hunts
As long as your firearm has standard front and rear sling attachment points or swivels, this sling can be quickly installed and adjusted to fit your setup.
Engineered for All-Weather, Hard Use
The Kodiak-Air series is built to perform in real hunting conditions, season after season:
NAVCOM and nylon materials are highly weather-resistant, so they won’t soak up water or rot like some traditional materials.
Stays flexible and grippy in rain, snow, heat, and freezing temperatures, making it a true all-season sling.
Easy to clean—just wipe down or rinse off after muddy or dusty outings.
From spring gobbler season through late-December cold snaps, this sling is built to hold up.
Ideal For:
Whitetail and elk hunters hiking into remote stands or glassing ridges
Turkey and hog hunters who need a secure, comfortable way to carry a shotgun or rifle
Western backcountry hunters counting every ounce of gear
Range shooters and trainers who want a high-quality, non-slip rifle sling for carbine or precision rifles
Anyone upgrading from a cheap, flat nylon strap to a true comfort-focused, feature-rich sling
If you spend a lot of time with a rifle slung over your shoulder, the Limbsaver Kodiak-Air 12297 will make a noticeable difference in comfort and control.
