- TRUSTED TECHNOLOGY: Features the impact absorbing VPD elbow pad, a lightweight, flexible, and highly breathable compound
- PERFECT ON THE MOUNTAIN: Perfect for mountain biking as it wraps around a rider's body shape when warm, which gives great freedom of movement on a bike
- BREATHE EASILY: Ventilation system constructed within each layer to optimize moisture management and comfort
- COMFORT IS KEY: Polyamide construction for low friction and high abrasion resistance
- FIT FOR YOU: Available in three sizes: S, M, and L","The Joint VPD System Elbow is a highly flexible 2-ply elbow protector that conforms with international shock absorption standards. The elbow protector features a highly efficient ventilation system and an outer fabric that 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. To protect riders during a fall the VPD technology then hardens on impact to help minimize injury."
We've all been there, pushing rigorously up steep switchbacks, only to hang up on an off-camber section of gnarled roots and imposing rocks. What follows isn't pretty, often resulting in you tipping precariously onto sharp rocks and stumps. In this situation, it pays to be wearing the POC Joint VPD System Elbow Pad, which takes the sting out of nasty falls without restricting you from riding hard and fast on the trail. Differing from hard-cap elbow pads, the Joint VPD System Elbow Pad stays soft and pliable until impact, at which point VPD padding stiffens up to dissipate damaging forces. This gives you the proven protection you've come to love from burlier elbow pads, but without holding you back across technical sections where rider flexibility is key. Reinforcing the VPD pad, abrasion-resistant polyamide withstands scraping falls across rugged ground without tearing open. And to ensure a secure fit, the elasticized cuffs stay in place without slipping or migrating as you ride.
