Howdy,

I weigh 90kg naked and was wondering if I should go 293/285 or the 322/315 size range? Bigger is better as I understand, but are there any downsides to going larger?

"but are there any downsides to going larger?"

Is this your first canopy?? How many jumps do you have? Where do you expect to jump this canopy, ie: big walls, overseas, small, tight landing areas?? Are you honestly a good canopy pilot or a great one?? What sized seven cell have you jumped in the past??

Might need some more info before someone will post an opinion.....

Have fun...
plummy
