Review on Ultimate Protection for Men and Women: POC VPD System Torso Armor for Mountain Biking and Skiing by Tiger Carpani

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You pay for the name

fit is good comfortable but a bit heavy. It's actually very expensive for rubber, and elastic bands don't last long. I have many other POC devices that are really good, but I think it's a failure. I am sure that sooner or later I will have to make new belts. Update: Finally able to use this product. One swipe and it doesn't really protect you that much. Although it covers your entire spine, the elastic straps cause it to loosen on impact, and I took quite a bit of damage across my shoulders, including the midsection where it was located. There are cheaper options that offer much better coverage, including abrasion resistance, at a much cheaper price.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • hard to tell
