Intro and Troll question
So I'm obviously new to BASE. I've got just under 300 skydives and close to 100 with a wingsuit. No I'm not trying to throw on a wingsuit and go jump off of a cliff. Just interested in getting into BASE. I'm going to Bridge Day this year and taking a first jump course there as well.

I've been reading and reading and reading some more. I've got the Great Book of BASE coming in the mail to give a read as well. My question should be a simple one. I see people like to go by the naked + 100 lbs for a general canopy size. I'm 5'10" and 110-120 lbs naked. So that would put me on a 220. I see the Trolls come in 225 but they say they are PIA spec 240. So should I be on a Troll 225 or a Troll 205(PIA 219). I'm renting a rig for bridge day so this isn't for that, just general inquiring.
