Designed to attach behind an English saddle, the Bobby Saddle Bag System from Alder Ranch Saddle Bag Company consists of three heavy-duty, water-resistant bags that secure to the saddle with hook-and-loop fasteners; the bags also feature quick-release buckles and D-rings to tie the bags to the saddle and prevent flapping. The top pack, when removed from the center section, doubles as a fanny pack. The side bags measure 8½ inches wide by 11 inches long by 4 inches deep. Choose the basic (unlined) bags, or the deluxe model, with closed-cell foam insulation and a black lining. Available in black, forest green, navy blue, and red.

The company’s Map Flap keeps your trail map accessible but protected. The pouch’s clear, waterproof exterior closes with a zipper and easily secures to a saddle horn with an elastic loop.

Cost: $59.95 (basic), $85.98 (deluxe); $11.98 (map flap).
