POC, VPD Air Sleeve, Mountain Biking Armor for Men and Women

Pros: poc always makes excellent gear. Full sleeve design makes the pad less prone to slipping down to your wrists which always happens riding fast janky DH tech. Protective enough to prevent scrapes and cuts and bruises on rock, will be used in the DH lift park. Light enough to be wear on xc / trail style riding. Love their air vpd foam designs, super comfortable to wear. Fits true to size measurements check online measure with a string.Cons: poc gear may seem unreasonably pricey, but it’s worth it.

I wasted a bunch of money trying different elbow pads. They all either fit weird or slid down. These are perfect. They stay put, and they are so comfortable you forget they are there. They also breathe so well, overheating is not an issue. I am 5'10", 180lbs, with decently sized arms and the mediums fit me perfect. I should so I haven't been through a crash with these though so I can't comment on protection.

Very lightweight, not the strongest protection but that something you could wear all the time. I guess suits best for not aggressive riding style like xc. Usually I wear sleeves for sun protection, these pads can do the same plus some crash protection as well. I would not wear heavy gear for everyday riding, so these are good for situations where you not supposed to fall, indecently something went wrong..

So these are a Medium and I’m thinking I should have went with large? Very snug, these things are not slipping or moving around. I used the size chart and was right on the line between M & L. Anyhow, I’m gonna give them a few rides to see how they break in. Overall excellent quality and form fitting. Lightweight yet provide seemingly good protection.

Son una exelentes coderas, muy ventiladas. Importante, si eres delgado de brazos, es mejor comprar una talla menor a la regular, para garantizar su correcta postura.

These are a great fit, accurate per the fit guide and the padding cups nicely on the elbow and inside elbow bone. The upper part of the sleeve is quite long but does seem to help keep the sleeve secure and in place without pinching.

Stayed put all day and felt cooler than not wearing them. No problems with heat.

Didn't quite know what to expect in the hot, humid summer weather we've had in Arkansas, US., this year. Put them on and very quickly forgot they were even there. Flexible, and fabric doesn't have any irritation. No seam rubbing or chafe points. They were soaked after initial ride, but dried fairly quickly. Directions say light machine washing is ok, but hand washed with my kneepads that aren't machine washable. Dried quickly, and color didn't seem to fade, or leach out.Bought these AFTER a crash, so have no experience with them hitting the ground. But anything seems better than bare skin, muscle and bone, against rock.

Es un buen producto, pero el otro modelo de codera de POC es mejor tanto en sujeción como seguridad

Lightweight but still provide protection for less extreme MTB. Good for fending off branches and bushes…very happy

comfortable and fits really well

Der Ellenbogenschoner ist wirklich sehr komfortabel zu tragen und das auch auf längere Zeit!Leider rutschen sie Anfangs immer etwas bin man etwas feuchtere Arme bekommt. Ab dann halten sie wirklich gut.Zwei kleinere Stürze hat er bereits Problemlos mitgemacht und mir dadurch schon größere Schürfwunden erspart!

Den "POC Vpd Air Sleeve" muss man - genau wie den "POC Air Leg" - als leichten Protektor einstufen und demnach beurteilen. Einen Aufprall würde er definitiv nicht so gut wegstecken, wie beispielsweise die "POC VPD 2.0". Ist man sich dessen bewusst, begeistert jedoch der Tragekomfort - quasi federleicht - und die entsprechende Schutzwirkung. Die fehlenden Klettstreifen machen ebenso nichts aus - er rutscht und zwickt nicht. Daher kann ich guten Gewissens volle 5 Sterne geben, da er für meinen Einsatzbereich super ist. Ich fahre mit ihm vor allem Downhill und trage ihn unglaublich gern, da er kaum aufträgt, super sitzt und man geschützt fährt. Meine anderen Downhill-Protektoren lasse ich seitdem zu Hause, da ich in ihnen schnell müde Arme und drückende Ellbogen bekomme. Daher fahre ich lieber etwas leichter geschützt, dafür aber mit voller Bewegungsfreiheit.
