Western Saddle Bags: How to Protect Heavy Rigs Without the Struggle


Western Saddle Bags: How to Protect Heavy Rigs Without the Struggle
Western saddles aren’t just heavy — they’re wide, leather-rich and often customised with tooling that deserves protection. Yet too many end up slung bare in the float, rubbing against walls or gathering dust in the tack shed. That’s the problem the Delzani Western Saddle Storage Bag solves: proper space for a western rig, full 360° zip access so you can load without a wrestling match, generous padding, and a zip pocket for small but vital extras like a breastplate or spare cinch.
No More Lifting Through Narrow Openings
The biggest frustration with bulky saddles is manoeuvring them into a bag. Delzani’s design fixes that with a full-circumference heavy-duty zipper. Unzip, lay the bag open on a rack, drop your saddle in, then zip shut — no squeezing, forcing or scraping. A base clip locks the “wings” together once closed, keeping the saddle stable for travel.
Protection That Matches the Investment
Western saddles are often the most expensive tack a rider owns. Leaving them exposed means dust in rough-out, scratches in tooling, and wear on leather. The Delzani bag shields the entire saddle with a tough 420D outer shell and 150gsm padded lining, absorbing knocks in the ute or float and keeping surfaces clean in storage.
Carry and Store With Less Hassle
An adjustable shoulder strap makes lugging a heavy rig from car to stables more manageable. The accessory pocket is purpose-built for straps, reins or a breastcollar — those items that always end up tossed on the floor otherwise. Dimensions are generous: 850mm across the top with a 980mm centre drop, easily accommodating traditional western shapes.
Built for Australian Conditions
Australian riders battle dust, heat, distance and long competition days. A well-padded, enclosed bag gives saddles a clean base at home, protects during travel, and saves time spent wiping down grime and scratches. It’s gear protection designed for the way we actually ride and transport horses here.
