Quality leather straps keep their strength and looks no matter what weather and conditions they face. Buckles and fastenings are all metal – we know they can take decades of regular use. All of our saddlebags can be made without leather content - we substitute recycled firehose material instead.
Want a saddle bag, but your saddle doesn't have bag loops?
- For small bags you can use Saddle Loops which bolt onto your seat rails.
- Or choose the Bagman Quick Release Clamp - which means you can take your saddlebag with you when you leave your bike.
- Larger bags will benefit from a Bagman support - especially if you will be carrying heavy loads.
