POC VPD Air Elbow Pads, Size M, Black and White

The POC VPD Air elbow pads in size M are designed for mountain biking and active sports, providing a balance of impact protection and flexibility. These pads feature a monochromatic black and white design and are constructed with advanced VPD material that absorbs energy upon impact while remaining lightweight and breathable for all-day comfort.

Advantages

These pads utilize a preshaped low-profile design that ensures comfort and freedom of movement during intense riding. The exterior is reinforced with durable fabric for added protection, while the interior features ventilated textile to maintain airflow. The lightweight compression fabric provides a secure, pressure-free fit, complemented by silicon strips at the top and bottom to keep the pads firmly in place. Additionally, the perforated construction optimizes moisture management and ventilation, making them suitable for long rides.

Suitable for

• Mountain biking
• Trail riding
• Active sports requiring joint protection

When it may not be suitable

These pads are designed for minimal padding and lightweight reinforcement. They may not be suitable for high-impact gravity disciplines, downhill racing, or extreme freeride scenarios where heavy-duty hard-shell protection is required.

Key specifications

• Size: M
• Material: VPD impact-absorbing compound
• Design: Preshaped low-profile sleeve
• Ventilation: Perforated fabric for moisture control
• Fit: Compression fabric with silicon grip strips

How to use

To use the POC VPD Air elbow pads, slide them onto your arms with the wider end facing toward your bicep. Ensure the preshaped section aligns correctly with your elbow joint. Position the silicon strips directly against your skin to prevent the pads from slipping during activity. Adjust the sleeve so that the compression fabric feels secure but does not restrict blood flow or movement.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your elbow circumference to ensure size M provides the correct fit.
• Consider the intended riding intensity to ensure the level of protection meets your safety requirements.
• Check compatibility with your existing riding gear or jerseys.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the pads for signs of wear and tear. Hand wash the sleeves in cool water and air dry to maintain the integrity of the compression fabric and the effectiveness of the silicon grip strips.
