POC is a Swedish innovator and manufacturer of next level body protection and apparel for cycling and snow sports. Their prime motive is to potentially save lives and dramatically reduce the consequences of accidents, working alongside anatomy specialists and athletes alike to produce the best hardware possible.
The POC Joint Long knee pads give good coverage above and below the knee to save you from pedal scrapes and whipping branches, but the main source of protection is the tough VPD 2.0 layer in the cap. Malleable when relaxed for good maneuverability, but when subject to heavy impacts it stiffens up and distributes the force through the pad and away from your anatomy. The VPD 2.0 offers more substantial protection than the VPD Air pads - better for the rigors of downhill and freeriding where you're likely to get sideways and there's unholy rock gardens waiting round every corner.
Technical Features:
- 3D moulded VPD 2.0 knee and shin protector perforated for heat and moisture control
- Reinforced stretch fabric for a secure fit
- Elastic strap for enhanced protection and fit
