Construction & Technology
VPD Air Protection
POC's VPD Air protector uses a lightweight, honeycomb-inspired structure that provides certified EN 1621-2 Level 1 impact protection while remaining highly flexible. The material warms with body heat to better follow the rider's natural movements, improving comfort throughout the day.
Honeycomb Construction
Inspired by natural honeycomb structures, the back protector delivers an excellent balance of strength, flexibility, and low weight. This design helps reduce bulk while providing the impact protection young racers need during training and competition.
Highly Ventilated Mesh Vest
The lightweight mesh vest and perforated back protector are engineered to maximize airflow, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape during long training sessions and active skiing. Improved ventilation helps maintain comfort from the first run to the last.
Integrated Washable Design
The protector is securely integrated into the vest for a stable, low-profile fit that stays comfortably in place without a separate waistband. The vest is machine washable, and the back protector can be removed for recycling at the end of its service life.
