Product details
Description
The POC Joint VPD Air Elbow Cycling Armor is a premium, low-profile protective guard engineered specifically for mountain bikers and trail riders who demand a balance between optimal safety and maximum freedom of movement. Built using advanced Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough, this light-duty elbow pad remains incredibly soft and flexible while pedaling, allowing your arms to move naturally without the restrictive bulk of traditional hard-shell armor.
However, upon a sudden impact or crash, the intelligent material hardens instantaneously to absorb and dissipate shock away from your joints, significantly reducing the risk of injury on rough terrain. Covered in a highly durable, reinforced stretch fabric, these guards are designed to withstand scuffs and tears if you take a spill.
The interior features anti-slip neoprene alongside a secure high-stretch crash retention strap that stops the padding from shifting out of position mid-ride. Perfect for all-day trail sessions, cross-country loops, or enduro tracks, this lightweight armor features exceptional ventilation and moisture control to keep you cool and dry.
Indian cyclists looking for uncompromised European design and certified impact safety can trust this premium protection for their next challenging singletrack adventure.
How to use
- Slide the armor sleeve up your arm until the pre-shaped shock-absorbing pad sits squarely over your elbow joint.
- Adjust the top hook-and-loop crash retention strap to achieve a secure, comfortable fit that prevents slipping without restricting blood flow.
- Ensure the anti-slip neoprene lining makes direct contact with your skin for maximum stability while pedaling.
