I have the Astral 200.    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.
