Seems like to me, and please remember that I am easily confused, your question has several factors

1 carrying equipment

2 ease of access

3 protection of equipment

Now my "active days" of hiking are behind me. But I use a lowepro backpack with both an upper and lower compartment to carry my camera gear. Although I have never tried it, you could possibly position a dslr with lens attached in the lower compartment where you could reach back unzip and grab the camera one handed

I also wear a light weight multipocketed cabela's vest which weighs a ton once you load it of course. I can place multiple lenses among its pockets but they are not protected. They also are able to fall out.

I carry the pentax (K 3 or K 5 II) with lens off my hip with a optech
Utility sling.

Utility Strap - Sling | OP/TECH USA

At times I have also attached the dslr to the sling via paracord as a backup

Of course the dslr is unprotected.

So I don't if I have helped with the problem but perhaps I have mentioned carry systems best ignored
