Unhelpfully I'm not sure I do, and my harness isn't actually here at the moment. Will have a dig around, at best I know I have a pic somewhere of me in the harness from the front, but the back is really the bit you need. I could draw something that shows you what I mean.
Digs.Comment

There are 3 styles sidemount harness shoulder straps: Y type "most common" like Razor, XDeep, Diamond, H type like Halcyon and adjustable quick release like Nomad, Hollis.Comment

I think the main benefits are:
1) Easier to Don/Doff
2) It allows Backup torch to be attached as per backmount, Chest D ring attachment, snoopy loop down the strap, without interfering with the SM cylinder.
Main disadvantage i can think of is the need for a Chest strap, some will argue it's adding clutter to the chest area which is already quite busy.Comment

Not really Mikeal.
I use a farrworld harness. I like it a lot. I don't imagine (though wouldn't know) it's anywhere near as good as, for example, an x-deep harness in open water/big caves.
But in tiny little caves? Where I'm dragging along, crawling between sumps, walking for miles...I've literally watched an x-deep disintegrate over the course of one trip, as well as not distributing the weight as well when walking/climbing/crawling
Though your cavers who dive and divers in caves is entirely appropriate. Just not "entirely" relevant.
