The POC Joint VPD Air Protector is a versatile piece of protective gear designed to provide reliable safety for children during trail riding and other sports activities. Featuring a monochromatic black design and constructed from highly flexible, elastic materials, this protector ensures a comfortable fit that moves naturally with the body. Its lightweight and well-ventilated construction allows for extended wear without discomfort, making it an essential choice for young athletes who need impact protection that does not restrict their movement.
Advantages
This protector utilizes the patented VPD Air compound, which is engineered to mold to the body for a personalized fit and superior impact absorption during falls. The design is exceptionally lightweight and breathable, preventing overheating during intense activity. The outer layer is crafted from a soft, stretchable fabric that feels comfortable against the skin, while reinforced sections ensure long-term durability against tears and abrasions. Additionally, the pads are designed to be adaptable, allowing them to be worn on the knees or elbows as the child grows.
Suitable for
- Trail riding and mountain biking
- General outdoor sports activities
- Children requiring joint impact protection
When it may not be suitable
This product is specifically designed for children and may not provide adequate coverage or fit for adults. It is intended for impact protection during trail riding and may not be suitable for high-speed motorized sports or heavy-duty downhill racing where more robust, hard-shell armor is required.
Key specifications

How to use
To use the POC Joint VPD Air Protector, slide the pad onto the desired joint, either the knee or the elbow. Adjust the elastic straps using the Velcro fasteners to ensure a snug, secure fit that does not restrict circulation. The integrated neoprene antislip patches should be positioned against the skin to prevent the protector from sliding during movement. Ensure the reflective patches are visible to improve safety in low-light conditions.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the correct size for the child's joints to ensure optimal protection.
- Consider that the pads are versatile and can be transitioned from knees to elbows as the child grows.
- Check that the Velcro straps are fastened securely before every ride.
Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the fabric and VPD material for signs of wear or damage after significant impacts. Clean the protectors according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain the integrity of the elastic material and the effectiveness of the antislip patches.
