sadelväskor

Sadelväskor, often referred to as saddlebags in English, are a type of luggage designed to be attached to a saddle. Historically, they were most commonly associated with equestrian use, carried by riders on horseback. These bags were typically made of leather and were used for transporting personal belongings, provisions, or other necessities during travel. The design often involved two separate bags connected by a flap or yoke, allowing them to be draped over the horse's back on either side of the saddle.

In modern times, the term "sadelväskor" has also been widely adopted to describe luggage systems for motorcycles. Motorcycle saddlebags serve a similar purpose, providing storage space for riders on longer journeys or for carrying everyday items. These can range from soft, textile bags that strap onto the bike to rigid, hard-shell cases that are permanently mounted. The primary function remains consistent: to offer convenient and secure storage without significantly impeding the rider's movement or the vehicle's handling. The material, size, and attachment methods vary greatly depending on the specific application, whether for a horse or a motorcycle.
