POC VPD System Lite Knee Protectors uranium black

The VPD System Lite Knee belongs to the new System Lite family, which offers an extremely high level of ventilation and comfort with Level 1 protection. The effective ventilation system together with the perfect fit offer every mountain biker an advanced solution to protect the knees - especially during long tours and for wearing over the whole day in the saddle.

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.
