Review on ๐Ÿšต Male and Female POC, VPD System Chest Armor for Mountain Biking and Skiing by Travis Oetting

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A good product. Just not for me.

I wanted to like this system. After injuring my broken ribs I wanted something to protect my ribs (as well as my chest/spine). I'm 5'10" and 180 pounds. I chose size S/M because all the reviews said that size L is too big for people of the same size. As I wore it all day and adjusted for comfort, I found my neck continued to press against the waistband of my pants. Spine protection when I tilt my head back. It was very distracting and distracted me from the ride. I would even go so far as to say that if I was hit at high speed and my head fell back, I would be worried about a spinal injury or worse in the neck. I think an improvement to the back protector would be to cut a crescent shape out of the top of the protector. This would completely prevent contact of the neck and spine with it. My .02.

Pros
  • VPD SYSTEM PROTECTION: Our highest level of certified protection combined with complete freedom of movement; Combines the shock absorption of VPD 2.0 with the breathability of VPD Air
Cons
  • The downside is there
