VPD System Lite Knee Pad

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I trust these pads on exposed descents—they’re so light and breathable, I forget I’m wearing them. But when I took a digger on slickrock, they stayed in place and did their job. Easily my go-to for big-mile, high-speed days."

POC’s VPD System Lite Knee Pad stands at the intersection of advanced impact protection and all-day ride comfort. Engineered with EN 1621-1 Level 1 certified VPD material, these pads adapt to your body’s movements, then instantly stiffen to absorb impact forces during a crash.

The 3D-molded construction is specifically shaped for performance fit and breathability, with extensive ventilation channels and airy mesh fabric to manage heat during intense climbs and descents. Reinforced front panels fend off abrasion and scuffs, extending the pad’s trail life.

Finished with wide elastic cuffs that ensure a secure fit without uncomfortable pressure points, these pads stay in place through long trail days and aggressive lines. Whether you're charging enduro stages or lapping bike park runs, they deliver lightweight security when speed meets terrain.
