Waterproof schmaterproof. The big story to me anyway is Brooks is coming out with a vegan hammock saddle. > > When I stopped eating meat years ago, I also gave up on leather products. Except for saddles. I tried a large number of the injection molded saddles out there. They were all portable torture chambers to me. Finally wound up going back to leather with Berthoud.
I've read about some noble failures to make lorica hammock saddles. Brooks is doing some interesting things with modern fabric and materials. the Land's End / John O'Groats packs I recently picked up appear to be very nice. They are well designed, light, and supposedly quite water proof. Ortlieb makes them, so I am not too worried about trying them out before going on my next tour. Really hope these saddles turn out to be the real deal. Looking forward to buying my first Cambium from Rivendell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
