  • Welded, not stitched 

    No needle holes for water to find. Every seam on the main compartment is welded, so the joins are as waterproof as the fabric itself.

  • Sealed main compartment 

    A roll-top on our backpacks and an airtight waterproof zip on our duffels. Close it, and your kit stays dry.

  • Extended warrantry

    Every bag comes with a one year warranty. If something goes wrong, we’ll fix it.

  • BASE Magazine 

    Reviewed the Caiman 40.

    The verdict?
    "Properly waterproof." "Bombproof-feeling."

Independent. Obsessive. Built to last. 

Jackson & Cole is a small, independent brand from Bristol. 

Rick designs every bag and obsesses over details most people never notice: the carry system, the weld lines, the weight of every buckle.

We make a focused range, and we make it well.
