I am 6'2" and I bought the 23" with re-curve. I will block all the wind from above and the sides way better than the stocker. The issue is wind from below and good luck stopping that. I bought 2 different sets of lowers and built 1 set and even though they are the size of a sheet plywood, the wind from below is unbearable. I took the windshield and lowers off and just use a fly screen now, I can't stand the buffeting from below. I would rather have steady wind in my face than a hurricane wind blowing up my nose and up my shirt. I sold my lowers already but if you want the windshield I'll let you have it for $50 plus shipping. I only used it one season.
