POC Column VPD Backpack

The pack utilizes a secure, ergonomic fit system that sits higher on the back, relying on a well-positioned sternum strap to keep the load centered and stable. By eliminating the waist belt, it offers greater freedom of movement and prevents the pack from shifting during aggressive riding.

The VPD Air protector is designed to be lightweight and flexible, so it contours to your back rather than feeling like a rigid board. While it adds a small amount of weight compared to a standard backpack, the trade-off is essential impact protection that doesn't compromise your mobility on the trail.

Yes, the pack includes a removable helmet net that allows you to securely carry a full-face or trail helmet on the exterior. This is particularly useful for transitions between climbs and descents.

The 13L capacity is ideal for shorter rides, half-day excursions, or enduro sessions where you need to carry tools, a hydration bladder, and a light layer. If you are planning an all-day epic that requires packing extra food, heavy layers, or significant emergency gear, you might find the space limited.

No, the pack is compatible with a 3L hydration reservoir, but the bladder itself is sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible reservoir to utilize the dedicated hydration sleeve.

The chest pockets are integrated into the harness straps, providing quick, easy access to small essentials like energy gels, a multi-tool, or your phone without needing to take the pack off. They are designed to sit securely against your chest so they don't bounce or interfere with your pedaling.
