Comfortable & complete river leader PFD for Kayakers

This is going to sound crazy, but it will hopefully help. Until Feb this year I was using a Palm FXR which although very easy to wear, I decided to sell because the straps kept getting loose. I then imported an Astral Serpent PFD, this was incredibly bulky and seemed to ride up - I decided it was too awkward and quickly sold it. I then bought a new Astral Green Jacket, although this had generous storage in the front pocket, lack of shoulder straps meant that the high neck of the Green Jacket was too high and an awkward fit - if you don't believe me, try on a new one. Luckily I managed to sell this at cost. I then bought a new Peak-UK PFD - yuk, it's like a odd shape & fit. FF let me swap it for the NRS Zen, which thankfully is the best, and most comfortable PFD I've owned in the past 20 years. Far better than the Astral, the Zen has 8 straps for a perfect fit, a good sized front pocket and hand warmers that actually work! FF managed to get me the Black coloured one, which looks good, otherwise I would have gone for the red one. It is a great fit!!!
