During my years of llama packing, I have tried numerous pack systems.
There were many times I was frustrated with cinches and straps
and packs slipping and sliding. But, when I started using Flaming Star Packs
systems, I had no more troubles. A great deal of thought went into the manufacturing
of these packs. They are well made and rugged. I have some that I have used for the
past 12 years and they look almost like new. My llamas and I are extremely happy with the Flaming Star
Deluxe.
I can help customers determine which model is more appropriate for
their personal use.
A Semi Rigid Saddle, the " Power
Cinch," a unique cinching system, allows for easy tightening of the girth.
Easy user
friendly clips. :- )
The
Deluxe-Llama Pack, a great system for top loading. Horizontal
and vertical compression
straps, two zippered and two open
pockets. Master,
Utility, and Standard Llama packs are
available too.
Great care is taken in construction of our
Llama packs.
They are made of
high quality Cordura &
pack cloth with heavy-duty double stitching. All
components are selected for durability, strength, and weather resistance.
Complete
Llama pack systems include panniers, a saddle,
top loading
straps, a girth strap, a chest plate, and a set of cinches.
Here are some photos with
the Llamas packed and ready to go.
We are very
happy and sold on the
Flaming Star pack systems. These pack systems
are rugged, durable,
stylish, and comfortable for our Llamas. You can
even order the
saddle in colors to match the colors of the panniers.

You are not just buying this pack system from a catalogue. We
follow up with information and suggestions about how to set up the system, and
how to use it. We have the knowledge and experience to help you in any situation,
and with any problem.
We are happy to report that the two pack systems we represent are listed in Gwen Ingram's book, "Evaluating a Llama Pack for Comfort and Function".
"To this day, the Flaming Star and the Sopris Pack Systems are the ONLY packs that meet the basic criteria necessary for llama
comfort. In addition, both manufacturers have continued to strive for improvements in design details that have led to improvements in safety and convenience."
