Which SM harnesses work well for backmount rebreathers? I want to be able to dive OC and CCR with the same basic configuration.
Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum.
Sidemount harness for both sidemount and rebreather?

I'm not aware of any good sidemount harnesses that will also support a backmount configuration.
depends on your definition of good. The Nomad XT will do it better than any of the other ones. It's a great sidemount harness, just a bit bulky. For bmCCR it helps with the lift down low, especially with TOS or OTS counterlungs.
In sidemount it does work quite well though angel wings a little bit so it isn't quite as streamlined as it could be, but it's tradeoffs.
I actually saw a guy at Ginnie diving a KISS Sidekick with a HOG SM BC a few months back. It stood out to me just because I own one, and have not really witnessed very many in action.
When I was diving an Optima I used the older Nomad. Perfect for that and sidemount

I believe there's a pic of a Prism on a Armadillo around the forum somewhere.
I picked up a KISS Classic. I've got an old Nomad I don't use. I've also got my faux-mad dual rec bastard that I use for all my diving. Unless there is something significantly better, I'll use the Nomad.

nothing better that I have seen to dateOriginally Posted by Greenwood_60
I have been quite happy with http://www.cavediver.net/forum/showt...for-cold-water
It has been a coherent solution for my sidemount-, rebreather- and doublecylinderdiving.

while i'm sure it works, I don't believe it is safe in true sidemount caves due to the potential ratcheting of the hard backplate against the ceiling
