Description & Features

POC VPD Max Vest is POC's highest-performance ski racing back protector, engineered for alpine racers who demand maximum certified protection without sacrificing mobility. Designed to fit comfortably beneath a race suit, the lightweight vest moves naturally with your body, allowing unrestricted movement through every turn while providing confidence during training and competition.

Its innovative VPD Columns construction replaces a traditional solid foam protector with hollow cylindrical VPD elements molded onto a durable textile backing. This unique design delivers exceptional flexibility, excellent ventilation, and outstanding impact absorption while meeting the highest EN 1621-2 Level 2 certification for back protection. The recycled four-way stretch mesh vest offers excellent breathability and moisture management, while the waistband-free design improves comfort and eliminates bulk beneath a speed suit. Even in extremely cold temperatures, the VPD material remains flexible, and the protector can be rolled or folded for convenient travel and storage without affecting performance.
