Alas, I too am becoming spherically challenged.... No matter the construction/configuration of the PFD, if your lower portions are wider than the upper then it will inevitably ride up. There is no PFD that can defy this low of physics. However, not a few PFDs have little loops here and there on the Inside. They are for strap or webbing attachments for crotch straps. That appears to be the only way to keep the pfd at the proper position for safety's sake. After a short time I'm unaware of its being there and it sure improves the safety aspects.
