I really like the multifunctions of that should saka. I did something similar by taking Richard's double barrel bungee idea and put the tubes and bungee around the bottom of my harness. The cord exits the tubes on the front right side of the harness and crosses over to a double sheave pulley on the left and goes down to the knee ascender. A very minimal foot strap can be used and is easy to store when not in use.
Saka vs Velox?

That really sounds like a great setup! Pics would definitely be a necessity!

I usually send my haas down after initial ascent. Sometimes I forget and it stays on my harness coiled up. If it doesn't get snagged, it's forgotten and no problem.

Mine stays clipped to my hip D, ready to deploy.

Personalty I don't like things on my Life Support side D's unless it's my lanyard. They are so convenient though, it temps me to use them. The other thing is having that bungee stretched out there, invites the snags, if it is a Velox or SAKA not so bad if the bungee gets broken but if it is the HAAS I think its going need a re-build. BTW, the SAKA bungee is going to take about 300-400 pounds of pull to break, so it it does get snagged, it is going to slap you like a MF when it lets go.

That's one of the procedures I learned in the first week of climbing when Marv was teaching me 40 years ago. Life support is life support not storage.

And sometimes the bungee goes around my leg and clips to the ascender.

Good deal, it's all about knowledge and personal choice, then having the options available to make them.

Does anyone know where to get the bungee used in the haas. I nicked mine and then it broke. And can't find where to get just a replacement bungee

Replace that Haas stock junk with the dyneema shock cord from Rigworks.

It's on sale too! They sell the solid core stuff that Haas uses too.
