6'7" and looking for a glider
And... since Bob K. hasn't chimed in with his one-size-fits-all answer, I 'll go for it.

6'7" and looking for a glider
I think I might have tried ASW-20 and couldn't close the canopy - not 100% sure. I haven't tried or seen a Genesis, though the name keeps popping up, and I'd love to check one out. I did fit in LS3A and I like them, but aren't they the ones with really heavy wings so when you're rigging one, everyone scatters? Or am I thinking LS3?

Mike Brooks has a Genesis at GHSA.
Open Cirrus and Standard Cirrus are almost nothing alike. Open Cirrus has a massive cockpit. Make sure you not only fit but you are comfortable. Your going to be wanting to spend 5-6 hrs in that seat...

I am 6’1” and have gone from an ASW19 to a 20. They have very similar cockpits. I fit OK I. Them but wouldn’t want to be any taller. I occasionally would hit my head on the canopy during rough landing in the 19.
