I'm 165lbs. out of the shower , will be jumping some windy sites. 225, 245 or 265 ? I've read and searched DZ and Blinc. Still not sure. Will probably demo, but not sure which to start with. Appreciate any advice, Mik

What are your landing areas like? And what is your experience level?
In general, I'd err on the side of more nylon over my head.

Hi Mik,
I'm about the same weight as you and just started jumping a 265. I was a bit worried that it wouldn't have enough forward speed (for jumping in a bit of wind) but I was suprised by how much it has. A friend of mine, who's about the same weight again, got a 245 but said to me that maybe the 265 would have been a better choice. Speak to Morpheus, I'm sure they'd be happy to talk it through with you.

The Troll has a very wide control range. I load mine lightly enough that the manufacturer has told me I need to downsize, but I've never had problems penetrating the wind. Even in very high (30 mph) winds, front riser responsiveness on the canopy has allowed me to penetrate.
