Built from the renowned VPD (Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough) to deliver extreme impact protection. Highly impact absorbent whilst being comfortable as the material adapts to your body to create an individual fit, the VPD transitions from soft to hard during impact vastly reducing the energy transferred to the rider. Unlike other materials the VPD material retains the same high absorption level after repeated impacts, thus ensuring it's effectiveness for many rides to come. The ventilated design maintains airflow and breathability to help keep you as comfortable as possible. Fully adjustable with waist and shoulder straps, which have different attachment points to allow the POC VPD System Back to fit almost any user.
Reinforcing your ride with comfort and safety, the POC Spine VPD System Vest is extremely flexible and sports a moulded back protector to ensure you are fully protected when shredding aggressively. The spinal area is supported by a KEVLAR barrier for anti-penetration protection and the back has flexible hexagon geometry, making this vest one of the safest on the market. A true offroad warrior, the Spine VPD vest is also highly breathable and sports ventilation channels that optimise moisture control should you work up a sweat. To keep you secure there is an internal waist strap while those who need to store loose change can make good use of the chest pocket.
With its highly impact-resistant padding, the Spine VPD 2.0 Vest outperforms EN 1621-2 Level 2 motorcycle back protection standard, ensuring that in the event of a crash your back benefits from the best degree of protection possible. Not only is it highly protective the padding also conforms to the shape of your body for an impressive level of comfort. When you're hitting downhill trails hard you'll build up a sweat and so POC house the protection in a breathable mesh vest, keeping airflow optimised and sweat off the skin. Once you're done riding, then the padding is easily removed to make it easy to keep your vest clean and laundered for the next day on the hill.
If you're tackling more technical mountain bike trails, with more challenging terrain testing your skills, the Spine VPD Air Back Protector will offer back protection should the trail get the better of you. The Level 1 protection standard gives you assurance it has been tested and certified to a recognised standard. In use, this exacting level of protection allows no more than 18 kN of force to be transmitted in the event of an impact. When you're riding you don't want too many distractions and this is certainly the case with your body armour. In order to maintain comfort, the Spine VPD Air protector is encased in a 3D mesh, giving a boost to both ventilation and sweat-management. Adjustability is also excellent. The shoulder straps are highly adjustable and feature a sternum strap to keep the protector secure. The waistband is also adjustable up and down to dial in the fit. And if you feel it's not necessary, the waistband is also removable.
Certified to EN 1621-3 (chest) and EN 1621-2 (back), Level 1, the VPD System Tanktop is a highly capable protection system that also boasts incredible flexibility for comfort and easy movement when you're sending it down technical trails. Rather than encompass the protector into a jacket or vest, POC keeps it simple to enhance freedom of movement and airflow. The VPD material softens as it's warmed by your body heat, providing incredible flexibility but in the event that you take an impact it hardens to absorb the energy of the crash. Large ventilation channels front and rear let sweat escape and fresh air in, keeping your core temperature regulated. Flexible, lightweight chest and back protection for every trail ride. VPD Protection POC's VPD (Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough) has a decade of knowledge and progression behind it and when you're pushing hard on your bike then it's almost inevitable you'll fall. VDP lets you get up, again and again, no matter how many times gravity gets the better of you. Allowing complete freedom of movement, VPD is flexible protection with a shock absorbing inner layer matched to an abrasion resistant outer.

For those searching for a customisable fit, the optional waist strap allows you to personalise your comfort easily. With comfort, compression and ventilation all working hand-in-hand to provide one of the finest forms of protection the trail has seen, even the roughest riding conditions don’t stand a chance of ruining your session.

It might be the chaos of a surging peloton, an intense training ride or a day of simply enjoying being on the bike, whatever the cycling occasion, the Women's Bodyfit EVO Jersey delivers superb comfort and performance. Sportful takes highly functional fabrics and places them carefully to get the perfect balance of breathability, aerodynamics and all-day comfort. For example, high-stretch fabric to the shoulders ensures both aerodynamic performance and superb flexibility. Stitching has also been minimised, particularly around the collar, giving a clean aesthetic and greater comfort. The fit of the jersey is what Sporttful term as 'Ergonomic' and this means you'll find the jersey is tailored for a riding position. Off the bike, it may feel slightly odd, but once you're on the hoods or drops it all makes sense. A laser-cut waist with silicone for grip keeps the jersey smooth at the back, while also offering support of the 3 rear pockets. With a full-length front zipper, you also have quick and easy control of ventilation, managing body temperature based on intensity and terrain. Riding quick. Riding far. Riding for fun. The Women's Bodyfit EVO Jersey provides the performance you need for slipping smoothly through the air and with exceptional comfort.
