Straps: hell yes! Bag, highly recommended, it just wasnt for me, these bags are built well and compete with the 1000d cordura the more higher end bags are made of. I sported with a psycho tourney a month ago and it was a great bag but the storage was limited, so i made a sacrifice with my PS3, now i rock a voodoo karma, all the space ill ever need and more, and will for sure last me about 10 years. but the FADE tourney will not let you down, an awesome bag if you dont need the huge storage like i did. As for the quads, love them! my first set i ever bought and make my bag feel like nothing on my back, im pretty sure phenix has their lastimer design patented and thats why they are the best on the market but im really psyched for the voodoo strait jacket straps in the works, and may give those a shot, btw jump on that deal in the market place, the black hole were LE and thats a hell of a price for one
