How are you going to route the hoses? They've got to come up from your lower back and they've got to be 100% non snaggable. Because if you're going through a confined space, the last thing you want is a hose that you can't reach getting caught or damaged on something behind you.

You also need a long hose that comes over your shoulder to donate to someone so they can use it coming out in front of you in the touch contact position.

Sidemounts are also gentler on bad backs.
