Minnehaha Medium Saddle bag

Here is an inexpensive cotton saddle bag with a large capacity. The dimensions are, 9”L x 9”H x 11”W – 650 cubic inches / 10L. It has a hardwood dowel as an internal support to keep the load stable. The outer lashing rings are great for securing a wet jacket.

The main panel is a durable sandwich of 1.5 layers of 18oz. canvas, thin padding, and an off-white canvas liner for a brighter interior. The bottom is reinforced with a riveted HDPE plate to keep bag from sagging under load.

This a traditional design that works best with your saddle mounted in a forward or neutral position on your seatpost. If your saddle is pushed all the way back on the seatpost, you may have some interference with your upper leg. There are various solutions to reduce this overlap including using a small wood spacer between the seatpost and bag to reduce overlap.
