About us

I’m Kevin Deighton, founder of Caribou Cases Europe. We are a small, passionate motorcycle luggage company based in the south of France, dedicated to adventure touring riders who demand the best. 

Our focus is simple: combining rugged, military-grade protective cases with precision-engineered European mounting systems. Each product is carefully assembled by hand in France to ensure top-tier quality and durability.

My love for motorcycles runs deep—it’s a passion I inherited from my late father, Ken. From his 1923 Omega to my modern GS, I ride them all, and I understand firsthand the importance of reliable, secure luggage. For three decades I led the design team that created these cases for Peli Products – to say I know these cases well would be an understatement.

Caribou Cases Europe is an extension of Caribou Cases US  Caribou Luggage Systems founded in 2005 by one of the pioneers of adventure luggage, Roger Pioszak. We proudly carry forward their legacy of durability, security, and exceptional customer service—because like you, we believe adventure should never be compromised.
