The accessory is designed to interchange between a waist belt that is fully portable and a sling that can carry large or bulky equipment such as inline skates and snowboards. Hence, the accessory has a dual use nature. The accessory is composed of an elongated belt with connector members on opposite ends and two open and closeable cargo-carrying loops attached along the length of the belt. At least one of the cargo-carrying loops is attached to the belt via a sliding buckle. The sliding buckle can slide and lock the attached cargo-carrying loop to any available point on the elongated belt. Acting as a waist belt, the accessory is completely portable and allows the user to convert the accessory into an equipment-carrying sling at any alternative location. Acting as a sling, the accessory can be adapted into two different configurations. Both configurations use a shoulder of the user as a fulcrum in which to balance carded equipment. One configuration is optimized to carry equipment of a modular nature, such skates and boots. This configuration positions the elongated belt over a shoulder of the user with the attached cargo-carrying loops lying on opposite dorsal and ventral sides of the user. The other configuration is optimized to carry equipment of an elongated nature, such as snowboards or skateboards. This other configuration positions the elongated belt across the ventral side of the user's torso with the attached cargo-carrying loops lying on the dorsal side of the user.
