al80 with the pony or without? If it was without the pony you're at around 4-5lbs of lead in which case my official recommendation is buy a new wing, but if you are careful with how much stuff you pick up, carry a 50lb lift bag, and aren't diving deeper than 80 ish feet, you'll probably be ok with the one you have, but I would make damn sure it actually holds the full 32lbs when it is on you first.

with an al80 and without the pony you should be OK. Do a quick check with the full rig and see how much water you can get in the wing, and then report back. Conveniently you can do that while snowed in.
If he is going to be wearing lead it has to be for comping for the suit.
