This Bag Might Blow You Away

ClaymoreClaymores are something you never ever want to encounter as these nasty bombs will ruin your day and a whole lot more. However, it could be a fitting name for the new line of bags developed by Combat Flip Flops, a company that was set up to support a growing Afghan-based economy.

While the company looked to manufacture in Afghanistan they had some difficulties with deliveries and have since set up shop in Issaquah, Washington where they produce military-inspired products.
