Travelling with two loaded mules.

Thomas Pflieger developed this equipment from his journeys with mules, particularly in the mountains. To choose a pack saddle, we assess the animal, terrain, luggage and route duration.

PROJECT ASSESSMENT

Your travelling companion — what journey?

Tell us about your travelling companion, the luggage it will carry, the terrain and planned stages. Together, we can assess the pack-saddle type and configuration with its comfort in mind.

PROJECT GUIDANCE

Assess the carrying arrangements.

Pack-saddle configuration is discussed using information about the animal and your equipment. Our fitting page explains how the assessment begins.
