## Long description

The POC Joint VPD Air Elbow is a lightweight and flexible elbow guard designed for cyclists who prioritize ventilation and freedom of movement. Constructed with advanced Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough (VPD) technology, this protective gear provides reliable impact absorption while maintaining a low-profile design that fits comfortably under jerseys. The unisex construction ensures a versatile fit for various riders, making it a practical choice for those seeking safety without sacrificing agility.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this elbow guard is its ability to remain flexible during normal movement while instantly hardening upon impact to dissipate energy. The inclusion of a Crash Retention Strap (CRS) combined with an internal neoprene anti-slip lining ensures the pad stays securely in place even during intense riding sessions. Furthermore, the use of reinforced stretch fabric enhances durability while promoting airflow, keeping the rider cool and comfortable throughout the day.
Suitable for
Mountain biking
Trail riding
Enduro cycling
Active outdoor sports
When it may not be suitable
This product is designed as a light-duty guard and may not provide sufficient protection for high-speed downhill racing or extreme gravity disciplines where heavy-duty, hard-shell armor is required. It is not intended for use in motorized sports or activities involving high-velocity impacts against hard surfaces.
Key specifications
Material: Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough (VPD)
Design: Low profile
Closure: Crash Retention Strap (CRS)
Interior: Neoprene anti-slip lining
Fabric: Reinforced stretch material
Gender: Unisex
How to use
To use the elbow guard, slide the sleeve onto your arm, positioning the VPD pad directly over the elbow joint. Ensure the reinforced stretch fabric is pulled taut and the internal neoprene anti-slip lining is in direct contact with your skin to prevent shifting. Secure the Crash Retention Strap (CRS) to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that does not restrict blood flow or movement. Check the positioning before starting your ride to ensure optimal coverage.
What to consider before purchase
Measure your arm circumference to ensure the correct size selection.
Verify that the low-profile design meets your specific protection requirements.
Consider the intended riding intensity to ensure light-duty protection is sufficient.
Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the VPD material for signs of wear or damage after significant impacts. Hand wash the guards with mild soap and air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and anti-slip properties.
