It doesn't ride up at all. I think it has 16 lbs flotation. Its a type V PFD and so must be worn at all times. Has a "big enough" pocket in front and a secret stash area in back. Don't tell the CG about the back pocket. You can fit a lot of stuff back there. I keep three of those fairly useless small red flares in there in a dry bag. Once a year I shoot them off and buy new ones. Every year only one works. This year think I will switch to some other signal.
