POC Bone Arm VPD Guard

Bone and Joint protection. POC body armor products developed to protect your elbows, knees and legs come in two versions. Bone are hard shell protectors made of sturdy Polypropylene and Joint are softer, even more flexible protectors made of Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough (VPD), which fits perfectly to your body and yet provides you with an excellent degree of shock absorption.

The Bone Arm is an elbow guard divided in three segments providing extraordinary fit and protection. The construction is alike the Bone VPD Leg, where special attention has been paid to protect the joints.

VPD - Hard on impact soft when your riding. POC uses a new compound and technology for our most shock-absorbing back protector called VPD (Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough). This protector is one of few in the market which reaches the highest standard (Level 2 “High performance”) of the CE 1621-2 motorcycle standard.
The material is highly dampening, using a modified polyurethane foam that is soft, comfortable and adapts to create an individual fit for every user. However, when exposed to impact the material stiffens and has an extreme absorption of energy. Most of the protector systems available on the market have a relatively static impact absorption curve and are designed to just pass the specific CE-Norm test. This means that low energy impacts are transferred almost directly to the body.
