Hi! I would like to buy an acro harness with 2 reserves.
I saw the Airwave Acro 1 with one reserve container, it looks very good, I like especially the vest at the cheast and the leg straps, so the version 2. with 2 reserves should be fine for me.
But I also heard good things about the AVA Acro 2 harness. I'm interested about the leg straps. Are they "ball proof"? Has it a vest or something like the Airwave does?
I also would like to enjoy the thermals, which of them is more thermal friendly?
Thanx, Zoli

Hi Bernd,
Please don't forget to make some nice pictures with the harness from a few angles and put them also in the PDF. Unfortunately I won't come to Coupe Icare, so I'm counting on the PDF :).
Thank you, Zoli
Hi guys,
If you come to the Coupe Icare, you can come to the Avasport stand; or ask me or Xandi about details of the new model Acro2008. We (Bernd & Xandi) work together with Ava and integrate all the features that are useful and that we need during training, shows and competitions.
The Acro2008 has the 2 rescue containers placed behind each other so there is enough space for Rogallos aswell.
Unfortunately the latest model is not shown on the Avasport homepage yet.
I will provide a small PDF for you after the Coupe Icare.
Fly safe,
Bernd :)
Hi! I have the Skyline vertigo 2R. No problems to carry 2 Reserves --> Very much space. It would have enough space to carry even 2 Rogallos. The Reserves are behind each other. It has a vest,"ball proof" ;-) leg straps and a DHV-prooven protector. What i don't like is the weight of the harness: about 6.5kg without rescue.
Hi. I've had them both, so here's my two cents. Most important thing first: They are both ball proof. I had an Airwave Acro 2 L and currently fly an Ava Acro 2 XL. The Airwave felt a little bit more "weight-shifty", which was good for flying my Aspen 2. For the Twister, I think it was a bit to wobbly. For a non acro wing I would probably go for the Airwave as I liked the build quality, simplicity and vest. If you're flying an acro wing I think the Ava Sport is the better choice. I also think this one is the most thermal friendly. It also has a release pin for smoke - nice detail. By the way, I think both harnesses have too little space for reserves.
dude, email Bernd> 'against the grain acro', and ask him all that stuff,,
they do custom colours with tha AvA and a new RCS(rescue catapult system).
and as for comfort in thermals and legstraps etc,,, they are all pretty similar!
ballproof :-)
