I had the same problem and solved it with thigh straps
not crotch straps. I saw this in a very expensive PFD
and easily adapted the idea to my own. Now I can
breathe because I don't need to put the PFD on quite
so tightly. In addition I know that, should I have to
bail out, my PFD will absolutely not ride up. I have a
sea kaayking spray skirt that just goes right over the
thigh straps, no shoulder straps. Works like a charm.

I wish I had done this a long time again.
