A look at the 5.11 NBT Duffle Lima
A review by Brad Walker. Today we'll take a look at the 5.11 NBT Duffle Lima. The argument within our group about whether it's Duffle or Duffel started out good-naturedly and quickly became ridiculous. Breach-Bang-Brad can be truculent as hell once he gets a mad on....
