Published on Thursday, August 21, 2025

This category covers breathable saddle covers, ventilated tack bags, compact dehumidifiers and silica-based moisture solutions designed to prevent mold, mildew and leather drying during storage. Canadian equestrians and tack owners prefer breathable, antimicrobial fabrics and smart humidity packs because they offer targeted protection without trapping moisture, suit variable indoor and outdoor storage conditions, and reduce ongoing maintenance. With wide regional differences from damp coastal British Columbia to humid Ontario summers and cold dry Prairie winters, consumers are choosing solutions that balance airflow, moisture adsorption and antimicrobial protection to preserve leather, stitching and metal fittings while minimizing odor and cleaning.

What Research Says About Moisture Control, Mold Prevention and Leather Care

Scientific and industry research highlights three practical principles behind effective tack storage: manage relative humidity, reduce microbial growth, and allow gentle airflow. Materials science shows that desiccants such as silica adsorb water vapor and lower local humidity, breathable textiles prevent trapped condensation and slow mold colonization, and antimicrobial finishes can reduce the viability of mold and bacteria on exposed surfaces. For small spaces, low-wattage electric or thermoelectric dehumidifiers offer continuous control where desiccants alone are insufficient. These findings translate into consumer choices that focus on maintaining stable, moderate humidity and good ventilation rather than sealing tack in completely airtight conditions.

Ideal relative humidity for leather storage is generally recommended in the moderate range (roughly 40 to 55% RH) to avoid mold growth at the high end and excessive drying at the low end.

Silica gel and other desiccants remove water vapor through adsorption; their capacity depends on mass, surface area and regeneration method, making them effective for small confined spaces.

Breathable fabrics reduce condensation risk by allowing vapor exchange; impermeable covers can trap moisture and increase mold risk if humidity swings occur.

Antimicrobial textile treatments reduce surface microbial load but are most effective when combined with proper humidity control and routine cleaning.

Small electric or Peltier dehumidifiers are energy-efficient options for tack rooms and closets, providing continuous humidity control where active management is needed.

Whether you store saddles in a heated tack room, a garage, or a seasonal storage locker, combining breathable covers, smart humidity packs and the right small dehumidifier can greatly extend the life of your tack in Canada’s varied climates. We hope this guide helped you identify options that match your storage needs. If you would like to narrow results by price, size, or storage environment, use the search and filters to refine or expand your results.
