Synthetic Saddlebags Vs Leather Saddlebags

Not using the saddlebags on your bike is just not an option. But choosing the right saddlebag for your bike taking into account all the things is a hectic job. Let us make this hectic job a little easier and start here by discussing the making material of the saddlebags.


The saddlebags are made out of wither leather or they are made from the synthetic materials. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. Other than the common advantage of adding the space on your bike for the luggage, the other advantages that are associated with the synthetic material made saddlebags are that they are more durable and would not stretch or expand with the rain or passage of time. Leather saddlebags are more care demanding. They are just like your skin and you need to moisturize them and not let them dry out or they would crack as well.


The leather has an edge of looking classier than the synthetic saddlebags. Also if you buy the pure high class leather saddlebag then you can also get increased durability as well.
