Matrix is a PITA to carry in without shoulder straps. The one strap provided works fine, but really starts hurtin the shoulders on a long walk. I love the blind...Im headin to wally world tomorrow to look for an oversized back pack to fit it into...homemade wild thing so I can save 220 bucks.

This blind is, like you said, the cadillac of blinds. makes my 4th blind over the years, the other 3 were junk in hindsight and totaled up to the cost of this blind. I love it.
