I put athletic build in there because people were putting that in their description when selling rigs. I read that article also. I know theres chutes that pack smaller than others and maybe bigger just dont want to buy one and waste money because it doesnt fit. Asked my instructor and gave me a 1 word answer on a 2 paragraph description then asked about help on sizing and said "You will have to look on there website for sizing". But that doesnt really help.
I am looking to get my first rig. I tried talking to my instructor after he moved DZ's when I finished AFF but he is not responding back to me. I am currently looking at Wings rigs right now because they offer 40% discount for active military and I believe that will be a really cheap option then paying $100-$200 less for a used rig. Also for a main and reserve. I am 5'9" and 195 with a athletic build. So what size canopy and type I would need.
