The POC VPD Spine Back Protector Vest delivers lightweight, low-profile protection for skiers and snowboarders who want added coverage without feeling bulky or overheated. The flexible VPD Air 3-layer back protector meets EN 1621-2 Level 1 certification while remaining light, breathable, and comfortable enough for long days on the mountain. Extensive ventilation throughout both the protective pad and vest helps heat escape during active skiing, while 3D mesh construction increases airflow and keeps the protector comfortable against the body. Its slim profile fits easily underneath a ski jacket or race suit without restricting movement, and the removable elastic waistband can be added for a more secure, personalized fit. Available in regular and slim fits, the VPD Air is a breathable ski and snowboard back protector that makes it easy to add certified impact protection without weighing yourself down.
Lightweight and highly ventilated VPD Air protection provides certified impact protection while maintaining the flexibility and comfort needed for active days on the mountain.
The 3-layer back protector meets EN 1621-2 Level 1 certification, providing certified impact protection in a lightweight, low-profile design that fits comfortably underneath ski and snowboard outerwear.
Both the protective pad and the vest are highly ventilated to promote airflow and help excess heat escape for improved comfort during active skiing and snowboarding.
A breathable 3D mesh material enhances ventilation around the body, helping the vest remain comfortable during long days on the mountain.
The slim construction keeps bulk to a minimum, allowing the protector to fit comfortably underneath a ski jacket or race suit while maintaining freedom of movement.
A wide elastic waistband can be used for a more secure, personalized fit or removed when a cleaner, lower-profile setup is preferred.
