Timberline's Llama Pack System  Timberline's pack system has
proven itself over many miles on the trail in the Colorado and
Wyoming Rockies. The sawbuck-type pack frame and panniers are
designed to provide a safe, comfortable pack for the llama and
a strong functional system for the user. The pack frame is made of hardwood with rust- proof metal parts. The pack boards pivot at their connection to the cross bracing, allowing the angle of the boards conform to the slope of the llama's back. The pack boards are padded with firm, sculptured and tapered foam, allowing movement of the llama's shoulder muscles under the bars. Adjustable cinches made of fleece-covered 2" nylon web are bolted to the frame and fasten with Fastex buckles. Breast strap and britching attach to the panniers to stabilize forward and back movement of the load. The pack saddle is to be used with a saddle pad.
Timberline's panniers are constructed from heavy-weight coated Cordura, reinforced in wear areas with ballistics cloth. The main compartment is made from a single wrap-around piece of fabric, which forms the top flap, back, bottom and front, so there are no structural seams except at the end gussets. An aluminum stay across the top distributes the weight, while an inner pad protects the llama from pannier contents. The compartment closes with adjustable flaps and straps which support and compress the load. At both ends, the panniers have large exterior pockets with vertical zippers. Panniers are hung onto the frame by adjustable straps. There are two additional straps on each pannier for top-loading, and these can also be fastened together to form a carrying strap. Panniers also work well with other frame pack system. Pannier dimensions: 22"x14"x8". Color: Forest Green with black reinforcement (custom colors may be available at additional cost).
