Keep in mind you don’t have run out and purchase pouches to store everything on your saddle, especially if you’ve already purchased the SYS Haulers. I got tired of carrying gear on my saddle. I like to walk in wearing my saddle and the gear dragging my saddle down and slapping me in the butt got old. I started out storing LB, tether, gear hanger, pull rope, wicked tree saw and 4 Amerasteps with OCB buckle on my saddle. Heavy?.... yes. As time went on I reduced what I carried but often found I wish I had it handy. I’ve tried different bags attached with a carabiner on the side, still thought there could be something better. Now I’m trying a small bag, sorta like a fanny pack, that I keep in my pack with a diy paracord adjustable sling attached to it (doubles as a bow sling when not climbing) that I keep everything I need for the climb. I sling the pack over head and across my body and climb. You can move it behind you without issue or pull it to the front when you need to access it. Way easier to get to things directly in front of you rather than digging them out of a pouch on your backside and quieter too.
The SYS Haulers may change all this again as I may just pack the mantis and not wear it in, or I may detach the pouches and reattach before I climb, if the quick connect system works as advertised.
Thought I would throw that out there. Didn’t seem to make sense to have a ultra light saddle only to weight it down and bulk it up with gear. You could use some things you may already have to get the job done, even if temporary.
