Complete system includes saddle, saddle pad, 2 cinches, 2 panniers, breast strap and britching strap.
Panniers and pack frame also can be purchased separately.
The saddle is made of stained hardwood with black powder-coated, rust-proof metal parts. The pack boards pivot at their connection to the cross bracing, allowing the angle of the boards conform to the slope of the llama's back. The pack boards are padded with firm, sculptured and tapered foam, allowing movement of the llama's shoulder muscles under the bars. Adjustable cinches made of fleece-covered 2" nylon webbing are bolted to the frame and fasten with Fastex buckles. (Saddle is also available with rope cinches) Breast strap and britching attach to the panniers to stabilize forward and back movement of the load. The pack saddle is made and meant to be used with a standard felt saddle pad - included. The name plate should be on the near side (llama's left side) for proper saddle placement. Photo at left is looking at the saddle if you were standing on the llama's left.
The panniers are constructed from heavy-weight, coated Cordura nylon fabric, reinforced in wear areas with even stronger Cordura Ballistic fabric. The roomy main compartment is made from a single, wrap-around piece of fabric, forming the top flap, back, bottom and front, so there are no structural seams except at the end gussets. An internal aluminum stay across the top distributes the weight, while an inner pad protects the llama from pannier contents. The compartment closes with adjustable flaps and wrap-around straps that both support and compress the load. At each end, the pannier has a large exterior pocket with a heavy-duty, full-length zipper. Panniers are suspended from the saddle frame by adjustable straps. There are two additional straps on each pannier for strapping longer or rigid gear (such as tent poles or rolled-up foam pads) on top, and these can also be fastened together to form a shoulder strap. Timberline's panniers may be used with other frame-type pack saddles.
