New Sopris Rookie Lite
#6
Gotcha. I did email about the Kid Trainer saddle back in January, and I was told "these are ideally sized for goats approximately 100-170lbs." But the panniers may be too small for your packing needs - the saddle does measure 10" long tho.

Also, for the Rookie Lite - maybe it's OK that it extends farther along the back since they're softer cylinders - question for Sopris!

I did pull the foam cylinders out on my new saddle to tape the seams inside, I suppose it's possible to cut the foam a bit shorter but I wouldn't think anywhere close to 4" shorter, maybe 1". (It's 2 layers foam + a plastic tube and 2 foam end caps on one end.) I bought a stiffer slightly narrower diameter foam cylinder yesterday and cut a 13.5" piece off to test with, have been having thoughts of substituting it for lighter loads - would save close to another 1/2 pound weight.
