Harness: Ava Acro 2 vs. Airwave Acro 2

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

Whats'up with the new Nikita?

I have been flying the old Nikita 21 for two years now and have a splitt oppinion about that wing. I'm looking for a new now and have concidered the new morpheus 19, but someone told me that the new Nikita looked quite fresh and a lot better that the old one.? Anyone have an oppinion about this glider? Maybe in comparission with morpheus?

Best Regards

Light weight harness for acro.

Hello,

I am trying to shave some weight from my paragliding gear, so I can hike more and practice more acro.
My Gin Genie 3 harness is heavy, I would like to switch it to SupAir Hybrid harness which is few kilos lighter.
However the SupAir harness uses lighter material and takes 30mm carabiners and overall is not as robust as my Gin harness, which concerns me that something like buckles or strap might break.
Do you guys think SupAir harness is suitable for light acro?
