Joint VPD 2.0 Long Knee - Extended MTB Knee and Shin Pads for Mountain Biking, Downhill and Bike Park, VPD 2.0 Protection

The product runs small. I would normally get a Small/Medium in most pads, but with POC I am going to now get the Large. It seems like a high quality and very protective pad. I will update more when I receive the Large and go for a test run with the product.

When I ordered these I didn't anticipate they would be as heavy and heavy duty as they are! Comfort and fit were spot on as usual for POC (5'8" @ 162lbs) and they extended far enough down the shin to protect from getting hit with a pedal. The padding is effective against impact and molds to your leg quite well. The guards have stayed in position regardless on my antics on the trail and jumping. I would highly recommend these to anyone wanting some heavier duty protection that covers the shins.

Great pads. I MTB and they were a little too protective. Great for downhill riders

Protects knee well. Felt a little tight in the beginning. Used it for 7+ hours ride, and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

This is a quality product but wasn't quite as good a fit for me as the ION K-Pact Select. For reference: tested in the Colorado Mountains on trails and in bike parks - albeit a little restrictive from inclining years. 5'10" 170lbs. Regarding the POC: the Large was too big and the Medium was too small. No shame in fit but, the reason for three stars is - the ION K-Pact feels more solid, more comfortable, not as restrictive, weighs less, and is far easier to get on (assuming the staff at the LBS has the straps connected correctly - easily fixed if not). Granted, the POC is 25% cheaper (or the ION is 33% more expensive, depending on which direction you want to do the math...) and feels like it would be more than sufficient. However, if you have the extra $40, go for the ION K-Pact

makes my riding more confident and safe

These pads are the best!

POC gear is great however I cannot imagine wearing these for anything other than serious drops. I would not wear them on climbs or any sort of cross country. They are heavy and movement restricting. In a fall, they would be excellent. Shin coverage is good - not for pedal strikes, but for rocks on a fall. Maybe keep them in your backpack until a hairy descent. Otherwise, save them for the chairlift days.I also own the 1.0 pads, which are great for trail rides. I actually keep them in my pack until I reach the top of the ride. That model is much better suited for the sort of riding I do.

ginocchiera di ottima fattura estetica e di materiale ma tende ad essere molto calda soprattutto in estate favorendo la sudorazione, in alcuni casi anche eccessiva come se non fosse traspirante

It works perfectly as it should be.

Les genouillères VPD 2.0 offre une excellente protection et absorption des chocs, flexibilité et confort. La forme moulée pré-pliée les maintient en place et donne un meilleur confort et une meilleure protection lors d'un choc. Matériaux extensibles et doux, même en pédalant.

Eigentlich sind diese Protektoren Spitze....aaaaber leider viel zu klein:(Ich habe schlanke Beine und wollte außer der Knie auch noch die Schienbeine bedeckt haben. Die normalen POC VPD 2.0 sind viel besser geschnitten und passen perfekt.Warum gibt's da so gravierende Größenunterschiede?Mussten leider wieder zurück, aber wer noch schmalere Beinchen hat, ist hier sicherlich bestens bedient, alle anderen sollten auf die normalen VDP 2.0 zurückgreifen.

Muy muy bien hecha la protección de la rodilla que ofrece un gran nivel de protección que se extiende hasta la espinilla. Sin embargo, el tamaño es un poco extraño con POC. La talla M era demasiado ajustada en el muslo, mientras que la talla L es un poco holgada.
