What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I like this protector when I want real coverage without wearing a full jacket. It moves naturally with my body, stays cool on climbs, and gives me confidence on fast, technical descents. Being able to run just the back protector makes it easy to adapt for different rides and seasons." When the trail demands extra protection but freedom of movement still matters, we reach for the VPD Air Torso. POC stripped this system down to exactly what we need-flexible chest and back protection without the bulk of a traditional vest or jacket. The result is a minimalist setup that stays comfortable through long rides and aggressive descents alike. The 3D-molded VPD plates adapt to body heat, softening as we ride for unrestricted movement, then instantly hardening on impact to absorb force. Generous ventilation ports allow heat and moisture to escape, keeping us cooler when effort levels spike. With a modular design that lets us run the back protector on its own, this system delivers versatile protection for trail riding year-round and beyond.
