POC Joint VPD Air Elbow Pads

POC's Joint VPD Air Elbow Pads are built for cyclists who see protection as a back up plan, not an inevitable go to. They incorporate VPD padding, which may very well be POC's initialism for High Velocity Pedaling Demon. The pads don't weigh you down, so your pure XC and climbing speed won't be compromised, but they will catch you in case of a high speed user error. A neoprene sleeve and hook and loop strap secure the pad while pedaling and under impact, so it won't be out of place when disaster comes courting.
