Joint VPD Air Knee Pads

If you're like us, you despise suiting up with bulky pads that make you sweat to death and restrict critical motion while climbing and pedaling swiftly down the trail. Luckily, POC created the Joint VPD Air Knee Pads to protect your knees from nasty impacts and abrasion, but without sacrificing key movements with their lightweight, flexible feel.


The secret to this flexible design with high levels of protection lies in POC's VPD padding. Standing for visco-elastic polymer dough, VPD remains soft and pliable while moving and pedaling, but then firms up to dissipate crushing blows once it's subjected to a crash. This way, you'll be able to ride freely and without restriction, plus you'll remain protected from crashes along the way. It's a win-win in our book, so much so that we highly recommend this set of knee pads to everyday trail riders.

Hardly Notice They're There

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

A great pad for everything form the bike park to trail riding. I've done a few trail rides with these and at times I forget that they are even on! The pads are flexible for when you are riding but firm/strong when you need them to and can take a pretty good impact.

Got them on Saturday, went riding Sunday. I fell on my bike and slid on the ground. My knee pads didn?t slide at all! So glad I got these! Super comfy, lightweight and breathable. Definitely worth the purchase for those who are new to riding like me!

Confidence for all-day trail riding

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

Fantastic knee pad for trail riding. I was a little skeptical to purchase them due to some of the reviews, but they are the slickest looking and relatively low-profile compared to what else is out there. I also have chicken-leg calves so I was nervous they would slip without another strap below. I wanted a pad that I could wear on any ride no matter what that didn't feel bulky or like I was carrying an extra weight, but still gave me confidence to ride a little harder. I have never had these slip on me. I have taken lots of big crashes in rock gardens that would have destroyed my knees without these and they take the impact like a champ. After long sweaty days in Southern Utah heat, they still feel very comfortable and I don't get that pasty wet feeling in my leg pit by the end of the ride that a bigger pad would give me. After 2 years of year round riding, they are still in awesome shape. If I am hitting the bike park or some rowdy downhill, I would use a bigger pad with more shin coverage, but for trail riding these are perfect.

Almost perfect

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I'm really pleased with these knee pads. They feel good on most of the time, they're easy to ride in, and they stay put. I've only had one spill in them, but they protected my knee perfectly. I used the actual knee pad size chart at POCsports and was able to get my°correct size from Backcountry on the first try. My only gripes are that°they sometimes pinch the back of the leg, which isn't painful just°a little annoying, and the extra large POC logos on both pads. I like POC gear, but if I wear anything else that is POC I feel like a billboard.
