Yeah, since I didn't use the full capacity of that bag and I compressed it a lot the extra straps were kind of annoying, but they easily stashed in the elastic part of the top. I bought my bag for PBP so I might end up using a couple of thin bags inside this big one to keep stuff a bit more organized... but also I don't know how much stuff I will be bringing so this bag might just be a bit too much for me since I have two drop bags on the course.
