Looking to add saddle panniers to our kit in order to walk stock into the backcountry with camp and gear slung over our saddles. Have looked at the different options offered by outfitter supply and trailhead supply and wondering what's the best option out there. Know there sre several makers that offer panniers, but I have no vendors locally and know no one that uses them so we physically can not appreciate the differences in design, materials and workmanship. Is there a significant difference? Does it matter? Based on my knowledge of outdoor equipment, I'd say there is a 'best' value and 'yes' it matters and I'm looking to spend my hard earned dollars on that specific product.
