POC Joint VPD Air Elbow Guard

The VPD material is designed to be soft and flexible while you are moving, so it conforms to your elbow without feeling restrictive. It only hardens the instant it detects an impact, meaning you get protection without the stiff, bulky feel of traditional hard-shell pads.

Yes, they are specifically engineered with a low-profile construction to slide easily under most jerseys. Because they are slim and flexible, they won't bunch up or create awkward bulges while you ride.

They are built with an internal neoprene anti-slip lining and an elastic strap to keep them locked in place. This combination provides a secure fit that resists sliding, even when you are sweating or riding aggressively.

Absolutely. The focus on ventilation and flexibility makes them a great choice for long days in the saddle where comfort is just as important as protection. They are breathable enough to prevent overheating during extended climbs and descents.

For the best fit, measure the circumference of your arm at the bicep and forearm according to POC's sizing chart. Since these rely on a snug fit to stay in place, it is important to follow their specific measurements rather than guessing based on your shirt size.
