The POC Spine VPD Air WO Vest is a protective spine guard designed to absorb impacts during outdoor activities. It uses POC’s VPD Air foam to combine lightweight comfort with reliable shock absorption.
The VPD Air layer in the vest remains supple and flexible as you move, offering a slim profile that won’t feel bulky under a jacket or pack. This design helps you stay comfortable over long periods and ensures freedom of movement without compromising on protection.
VPD stands for Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough, a material that adapts to your body at rest but stiffens instantly on impact, dispersing energy away from your spine. The result is a balance between everyday comfort and critical support when you need it most.
