POC VPD System Lite Elbow Pad

Yes, they are specifically designed for long days on the bike. The combination of highly breathable mesh and the flexible, 3D-molded VPD material makes them comfortable enough to wear for extended periods without feeling restrictive.

These pads are certified to EN1621-1 Level 1, which provides reliable impact absorption for trail and enduro riding. While they offer less coverage than bulky, hard-shell downhill armor, they prioritize a balance of safety and pedaling comfort.

The pads feature wide elastic cuffs designed to keep them securely in place. While fit can vary based on arm shape, the elastic construction is engineered to maintain a snug, reliable position throughout technical descents.

Yes, ventilation is a core feature of this design. The 3D mesh construction and large ventilation channels allow for significant airflow, making them a strong choice for warm-weather riding where overheating is a concern.

The pads include a reinforced outer panel specifically added to handle scuffs and scrapes. While they are lightweight, this reinforcement provides necessary durability against the typical wear and tear of trail riding.
