POC Joint VPD System Elbow
Best low profile protection for dedicated trail and enduro riders.
These pads strike the perfect balance between barely-there comfort and serious impact protection. By staying flexible while you pedal and instantly hardening when you crash, they eliminate the bulk that usually makes riders ditch their gear. It is the rare piece of armor you will actually want to wear all day.
