POC VPD System Torso Protector uranium black

The VPD System Torso is a new chest and back protector with focus on high wearing comfort, good ventilation and protection level. Thanks to the unique design and materials used, the Torso is a minimalist protector that never disturbs the wearer. In the event of a fall, however, its 3D VPD material gives it a level 1 protective effect. The torso is designed to offer versatile protection, whether above or below the jersey, and a high level of wearing comfort.

VPD
The VPD (Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough) range offers extreme impact absorption, which has given POC a completely new approach to developing body armor. VPD is highly impact absorbent, comfortable and adapts to create an individual fit and due to its high level of protection and the ability to transition from soft to hard during impact, we don’t have to choose between safety and flexibility.

Many protectors are lightweight, but may not be optimal for shock absorption. Some can take one impact with good shock absorption, but a second impact to the protector will transfer a much higher amount of energy to the user, the third an even greater amount and so on. VPD material retains the same high absorption level, and that is an important property for POC since they believe that a protector will have several impacts during one fall, and during its lifetime.
