POC Joint VPD System Elbow Guards
Experience unparalleled confidence and complete freedom of movement on every trail with the POC Joint VPD System Elbow Guards. Engineered for the dedicated mountain biker who demands the highest level of protection without sacrificing comfort or performance, these elbow pads represent the pinnacle of modern protective gear. Whether you´re tackling technical descents, pushing your limits in an enduro race, or enjoying a long day on all-mountain terrain, the Joint VPD System provides reliable, certified protection that moves with you.
At the heart of this advanced design is POC´s innovative VPD technology. The Joint VPD System Elbow is a highly flexible 2-ply elbow protector which conforms with international shock absorption standards. The elbow protector features a highly efficient ventilation system and an outer fabric which is made with high tenacity polyamide yarns for low friction and high abrasion resistance. VPD is the perfect material for mountain biking as it wraps around a rider´s body shape when warm which gives great freedom of movement on a bike. This pre-shaped, ergonomic fit feels like a natural extension of your body, allowing you to pedal, maneuver, and react without restriction. To protect riders during a fall the VPD technology then hardens on impact to help minimise injury, providing a crucial shield when you need it most.
Forget the days of bulky, uncomfortable, and overheating pads. The Joint VPD System Elbow is engineered for all-day wearability. A highly efficient ventilation system features perforations and air channels that work to dissipate heat and moisture, keeping you cool, dry, and focused even during the most strenuous climbs on warm days. The minimalist, lightweight construction ensures you´ll barely notice they´re there until you need them.
A secure fit is paramount for effective protection, and POC has meticulously addressed this. The pads are held firmly in place by a robust retention system, complemented by silicone grippers at the top and bottom openings. This design guarantees the elbow guards will stay exactly where you need them, preventing any slipping or mid-ride adjustments, even through the roughest chatter and most dynamic movements. The low-friction outer fabric not only resists abrasion but also helps you slide rather than catch during an impact, further reducing the potential for injury.
