VPD visco-elastic polymer dough is some really great stuff. It has allowed POC to create softer and more flexible body armor, like the Joint VPD Shin Pads, that nearly equal their Bone series hard shell protection. Now for supreme abrasion resistance, Bone guards are still the best, but Joint VPD Pads are lighter and slimmer to fit better under jeans or race shorts.
The secret, of course, is the function of the VPD material. It's kind of like taffy in the way that you can bend it slowly, but it stiffens right up when you drive your fist into it. So it's the best of both worlds, offering flexibility when you get suited up for a downhill race or just a day of tough riding and in the instant of an impact, comfort becomes protection as the VPD works its magic. The Joint Shin Pads cover the entire lower leg from the ankle to above the knee. Perforated neoprene in the back helps ventilate while holding the pad in place on your leg with a snug fit. A stretchy aramid covering makes the whole thing quite durable, yet doesn't hinder the articulation and flex. And finally, elasticized Velcro straps secure the pads at the very top and bottom.
The POC Joint VPD Shin Pads come in Black and are available in Small and Large sizes.
