POC Spine VPD Air Vest Regular cubane blue

The new three-layer Spine VPD Air Vest is light and optimally ventilated. The vest is made of breathable and movement-friendly mesh material and features a three-layer, generously perforated VPD protector with motorcycle standard Level 1 certification. The hip belt sits on the outside and is easily adjustable in length and height.

VPD
The VPD (Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough) range offers extreme impact absorption, which has given POC a completely new approach to developing body armor. VPD is highly impact absorbent, comfortable and adapts to create an individual fit and due to its high level of protection and the ability to transition from soft to hard during impact, we don’t have to choose between safety and flexibility.

Many protectors are lightweight, but may not be optimal for shock absorption. Some can take one impact with good shock absorption, but a second impact to the protector will transfer a much higher amount of energy to the user, the third an even greater amount and so on. VPD material retains the same high absorption level, and that is an important property for POC since they believe that a protector will have several impacts during one fall, and during its lifetime.
