When you're heading out on your bike for a long ride you may have all sorts of frame bags and saddlebags for storing kit.

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.

And if you feel it's not necessary, the waistband is also removable.
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.

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.
