Need some help on buying a BC for my wife (with her money of course).

She needs an XS in most makes as she is fairly tiny (5ft), and this obviously limits the lift avalable.  She is using about 10kg of lead plus ankle weights with a compressed neoprene drysuit.

I read somewhere that you need the same amount of lift in your BC as you have lead in your belt.

However, a local shop says that any BC will do the job in the event of a flooded suit.

Who's right here, and wings aside, can anyone recommend an appropriate BC for titchy folk.

Thanks in advance.
Graeme
