POC Joint VPD Air Knee Pads

Yes, they are designed specifically for long days on the bike. The low-profile, flexible construction and ventilated panels prioritize comfort and airflow, making them much less intrusive than traditional, bulkier armor.

The pad remains soft and flexible while you are pedaling, allowing for a full range of motion. Upon impact, the material instantly hardens to absorb and dissipate energy, providing the necessary protection.

They are equipped with an anti-slip neoprene lining and a secure elastic strap system to keep them firmly in place. While fit can vary by individual leg shape, this combination is generally very effective at preventing migration during technical riding.

Absolutely. The low-profile design is specifically engineered to fit comfortably under most mountain biking pants or shorts without creating excessive bulk or restricting your movement.

No, these pads are not machine washable. We recommend hand washing them with mild soap and air drying to preserve the integrity of the VPD material and the elastic components.

These pads are certified to EN 1621-1, Level 1 standards. This means they provide reliable impact protection suitable for general trail and mountain biking, though they are not intended for high-speed downhill racing or extreme gravity riding.
