16 inch Wild 1 chubbys on my bike in Sig pic. I'm 5'9 and I like these just fine.
A tip to combat the parachute effect, find the position you like then move them forward about 3/4 to an inch so you lean forward into the wind just a little. Stops you hanging your upper body weight backwards off the bars and I find it to be a better posture and significantly reduces the work load on my lower back. Also it fixed the numb hands problem for me. I can and regularly ride comfy 8+ hrs with my 16s

OP lives on the Canadian windswept prairies next door to me. 30 mi/hr winds is an everyday occurrence. Apes in the woods are different than apes in the wide open.
Attached can pic of my old Lo that had the 16" chubbys, loved the way it looked, but it was a nightmare to tour on.
