I always loosen my legstraps on a climb, then tighten them at the exit point. It gives you more freedom during a climb.

If your climbing under something before exit and your legstrap moves up, just simply move it back into position before exiting.

Whith that said, a bungee on the legstraps would not hurt anything. Besides being an extra snag hazard with minimum consequences if snagged.

for wingsuiting and tracking pants, you'll figure out why we don't use them.

until you said that I could not even figure out what those are kind of like a bungee on a climing harness to keep them up haha

I personally use them in wingsuiting too, its one overhand knot... Adds 15 secs. Always seems thats where leg straps could be, off my balls!
