Classic Double Rigged Decker Pack Saddle with Cottonwood Tree & Mesh Half Breed

Over the years we have been asked to make a double rigged Decker pack saddle. We feel that the single rigging on the Outfitters Supply Standard Decker Pack Saddle has a lot of advantages, not the least of which is the ability to move the rigging ring, thereby moving the cinch back away from the animal's elbow. This is not an option on a double rigged pack saddle. However, if you are convinced that double rigging will provide advantages for you and your pack animal, we provide this double rigged pack saddle as an option.

Our TrailMax Cottonwood Decker Tree also features OPR style bars. The bars on this tree are crafted out of solid cottonwood, which has traditionally been the wood of choice for making pack saddle trees, as it is fiberous and resists cracking. In fact, many cottonwood pack saddle trees made 100 years ago are still in service today! The arches on our TrailMax Cottonwood Decker Trees are made of powder-coated, ¾"cold rolled steel. They are assembled to the tree with 6 wood screws that are installed in a triangular pattern to prevent any rocking or loosening.

A Decker pack saddle tree with classic (rounded) arches is ideal for packing mantied loads or panniers. When using panniers with the Classic Decker Tree, we recommend adding a set of Decker hooks to make them easier to load.

Our TrailMax Mesh Pack Saddle Cover is extremely lightweight and breathable without giving up durability. This half-breed is made using a double layer of tough vinyl-coated Textilene mesh with Duratex breathable synthetic padding behind the boards; both materials dry quickly and allow air flow to the animal. All seams are bound and reinforced with 4-way nylon webbing. Pine boards help distribute the weight of the pack load.
