POC Column VPD Backpack

No, the VPD back protector is integrated directly into the design of the backpack to ensure it stays in the correct position during a crash. This integration allows the pack to maintain a slim, stable profile without shifting.

Yes, the pack is compatible with hydration reservoirs up to 3 liters. It includes a dedicated compartment to keep the bladder secure and accessible.

The twin-strap system secures the pack across your chest rather than your waist. This keeps the load stable and close to your back while leaving your waist area completely free, which provides better mobility and comfort during aggressive riding.

The 8L capacity is designed for essential gear like tools, a tube, a phone, and snacks. It is ideal for shorter rides or riders who prefer to travel light, but it may be too small if you need to carry extra layers or bulky equipment.

Yes, the back panel features ventilated channels designed to promote airflow between your back and the pack. While any back protector will add some warmth, these panels help minimize sweat buildup during intense efforts.

The fabric is water and dirt resistant, which helps protect your gear from trail spray and light rain. However, it is not fully waterproof, so you should use a dry bag for sensitive electronics if you are riding in heavy downpours.
