Handmade by B bar B in Blackfoot, Idaho.
These saddle bags were designed to have minimal weight and bulk and to have a decent carrying capacity. They are perfect for a day on the trail. They are made with a 5 ounce durable chap leather, the pocket is 9.5" wide, 8.25" in height, with a spacious 4.5" gusset. They are equipped with a grommet on each bag for securing the front of the bags down to the middle saddle strings and they also have a 3/4" dee ring on the back side of the bag for securing the bottom corners of the bag down to the saddle.
The stress points at the four corners at the top of the saddlebag are each rivited for re-inforcement. A nickel rivet and nickel rivit cap is used at each corner. The cap is used so that no rough rivit surface is exposed, the rivit mushrooms inside the cap. We use the rivit and cap so that your saddlebags don't have a rough rivit edge that will scratch your saddle.
