Panniers

Our panniers are built tough right here in Montana. Structural elements feature stainless steel hardware, durable 23 oz canvas reinforced with doubled, 1600 ballistic denier nylon and bound with 11⁄2” polypro binding on all seams. Two styles are available: The Sun River Signature and our Conventional Panniers.

Sun River Signature Panniers were designed to eliminate that excess side pressure that most traditional panniers cause.They have been modified to sit higher and hang level with the bottom of most standard half breeds, and ride almost identical to a mantied basket­-hitched load. This helps ensure that your load is hung at an optimal height, therefore minimizing the pressure placed on your pack animal’s rib cage. All other structural elements, dimensions and carrying capacities are virtually the same as the conventional bags, although an extra­-large rain flap has also been added for further protection from the elements.

SRS Panniers2

 

 

 

 

 

Conventional Panniers feature a triple strap design­ two straps designated for closure and a third attached to the bottom that is used to secure your load to the second ring on your cinch. Stainless steel grommets are also placed at the top of each side wall to help cinch in loads when moisture is a concern. Unfortunately, these bags have a tendency to hang too low when packing most heavy items, although with proper instruction one can learn to sling them more effectively, minimizing wear and tear on your pack animals.
