Green canvas saddlebags that are both compact and large for expeditions.
Several years of searching for the perfect saddle bags for long-distance riding has produced a favourite. If you don’t have saddle bags at all, or if your own ones don’t fit your complete expedition gear, I offer the option of renting or purchasing large saddle bags. The bags are dark green in colour. They are made of strong thick fabric and are made as hunting bags for horses. The saddle bags are impregnated, so they are water repellent to some extent.
The bags are very durable – so far in the demolition trial we have not been able to tear the bags by thorns, nor to tear them by rubbing them on the horse or the ground. The saddle bags weigh around 2 kg and can fit a complete tent, a sleeping mattress, a sleeping bag, clothes and food. In case of lack of space inside the saddle bags, I recommend putting soft things like clothes and sleeping bag in the waterproof “bandalier” tied on top of the saddle bags.
The model for these bags is the famous Czech horse rider Marek von Horschowitz. Thank you.
