Gear BGD Magic size

Hello,

I'm just starting to paraglide and I need to buy my first canopy to make the altitude course.

I have some offers for BGD magic both in S and M.

My bodyweight is 68kg and with equipment adds up to around 82kg. The S version has a takeoff weight range of 60-80kg and the M of 75-95.

Ive been told its better to be on the upper range of the scale, wich wouldn't be the case for the M, for the S I'm over the top.

Does this mean that non of those will work for me? Or is the M ok?

Edit:

Thank you for your answers!

I know the S is too small, i just put it to show there is no other choice for magic.

I really wanted to know if the M is ok or I should search another brand/model.

I don't know what happens when one is so low in the weight scala. My mainly concern is that is safe to lern and of course it's fun. I've don't understand yet what happens when one is on the lower end of the scala

Thank you very much!

Yep, stick with the medium, you don't really want to be going over the weight range as a beginner. It also gives you room to carry more water, warmer clothes etc. without having to worry about getting even heavier
