Classic Double Rigged Decker with Cottonwood Tree & Canvas 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 fibrous 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 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.

The Outfitters Supply Canvas & Leather Pack Saddle Cover (or Half-Breed as it is often called) is the best available. We build these pack saddle covers out of 24-oz canvas, which is then bound and reinforced with leather. This cover is built to last a lifetime! We stuff both sides with a full inch of Duratex breathable synthetic padding to help absorb the pressure of the load. A 1" x 4" pine bar on each side is included to spread the weight of the load across the animal's ribs.
