Manty Cover for Diamond Hitch & Horse Packing – Blue Creek Outfitting

This manty cover is designed to wrap and protect loads on pack horses and mules. Used with a diamond hitch, it keeps gear secure, protected, and properly shaped for safe travel in the backcountry.

Manty covers are a traditional and proven method for securing loads on pack animals. The cover wraps around your gear and allows it to be tied down tightly using a diamond hitch for a stable, balanced load.

A manty also protects your gear from weather, dirt, and abrasion during travel in the mountains.

Combined with proper lash ropes, cinches, and pack saddles, it forms a complete and reliable load system for backcountry packing trips.
