You get hard shell style protection with the flexibility of a soft shell knee armor.
You can hit your favorite runs at full speed confident that your POC armor has you covered. Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough VPD is used throughout POC's body armor range to offer extreme impact absorption, allowing a lightweight and comfortable approach to cycling protection. VPD's flexible nature means that it will shape to your body, creating an unparalleled fit that is truly customized.
The material hardens during impact, so the flexibility doesn't come at the cost of protection. VPD is able to maintain a high absorption level where other protection garments may see effectiveness drop after every knock. This means that POC's body armor gives you long lasting effectiveness for consistent protection so it doesn't let you down when you need it most.
Delivering anatomical and ergonomical fit means a fantastic level of comfort that results in a huge amount of free movement that more rigid materials can't offer. VPD also offers great ventilation to keep you cool and comfortable when you're riding hard.
