Harness type

How to choose harness for paragliding? Can we use harness used in normal paragliding (not sure to call it freestyle!!) for ACRO or XC?
Basically, I want to know if with my current harness(Gradient Compact Paragliding Harness) can I do ACROs, or are there special harnesses for doing ACRO?

Gradient Freestyle 3 or Icaro Aquila for learning Acro?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a freestyle wing to learn acro. (Already practiced Helicos on my old B-Wing, but for more dynamic things it's too slow).
Someone recommended the Gradient Freestyle 3 (20qm) to me, but others told me it's too dynamic to start with, so I also tested the Icaro Aquila (18qm), but found the lines rather short and I'm not sure how that works with the maneuvers...
Do you have recommendations?
I weigh 60kg and find it rather hard to find a suitible wing for a light weight pilot...
Thanks in advance!
