Modified Decker Pack Saddle with Cottonwood Tree & Mesh Half Breed

You won't find a better Decker pack saddle anywhere - packers, guides, and outfitters who have used our Deckers won't have anything else. Regardless of the options you choose, you can pack in confidence knowing you will receive a quality saddle that will offer years of use, made in our Columbia Falls, Montana shop.

All our pack saddles are in stock and available to ship immediately!

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 screws that are installed in a triangular pattern to prevent any rocking or loosening.

A modified style Decker tree features arches shaped with stops or "ears" that allow you to load panniers on the saddle by simply looping the straps over the arches, the same as you would load panniers on crossbucks on a sawbuck pack saddle. There is no need to use Decker hooks while packing with a modified style Decker pack saddle.

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.
