Your cart is empty.Before dropping into a steep trail with jagged rocks and imposing trail features, slip into the POC Joint VPD System Knee Pad for protective reassurance in case things don't go exactly as intended. This protective knee pad is a great addition to any trail rider's arsenal, especially across gnarly terrain where falls carry high consequences. Breathable perforations prevent excess perspiration, should you start to sweat while pedaling uphill for an extended duration. Sitting at the heart and center of this protective knee pad, POC's ingenious VPD foam stays pliable until impact, at which point it stiffens up to disperse heavy blows. This means you'll be able to wear this pad while pedaling uphill, as it's non-restrictive nature won't sacrifice flexibility. Complementing the VPD padding, the high-tenacity shell is highly resilient from abrasion, so you won't suffer from a skinned knee after falling over rugged terrain.

I should’ve bought these years ago. They are the most comfortable knee pads I’ve worn. Super soft and stay in place design with no pressure points. Can’t say enough about these.

Most comfortable pads I have ever owned. They flex well and don’t feel hot at all. Great product!

Been looking for a comfortable pair of MTB knee pads for several months. None of my local bike shops carry anything so I've been buying/trying/sending back several pairs of knee pads for last couple months. Tried, Kali, Least, and gform rugged. Nothing felt comfortable. These POC pads had great reviews but we're pricey. I bit the bullet and ordered two pairs. My measurements put me at a medium. Some say they run small so I bought a medium and large. I'm 6', 165 with thin MTB legs. The mediums fit the best but I probably could have gotten away with the largest. Not a huge difference. They came in a really nice box. Material and construction seems high quality. They are very flexible/pliable.They not too bulky but seem like they would protect well in a crash. I slipped them on and my first impression was, wow, I think I finally found what I was looking for. Then I stood up. Oh man, what's pinching my shin.The pads have a rigid, rolled cup like end at the bottom towards the shin area. It puts significant pressure on the bony part of your upper shin. I thought maybe I could wear them around for a couple hours, they would warm up and feel better. A couple hours later, they were hurting worse. I jumped on my bike and did a few laps around the block. They didn't really slip but there was a pinch in both shins and also some pinching at the back of the knees.No way could I wear these on a 15-20 mile ride.Next I tried the large size. shin pinch was a little less, but still a pinch in the back of the knees. Also the pad had some slop and would probably move in a crash.I wasn't going to gamble$150.00 that they would improve in time.Sadly, both pairs are going backMy current pads are race face ambush. They were super comfortable out of the box but are 3 years old and need to be replaced. They have minor issues. A bit bulky but protect well with several good crashed on them. Also the sticky part of the velcro is on the outside and wears your shorts where they rub.I guess my search continues.

These kneepads are well-constructed. My long pants easily fit over them and they stay put with no sliding while riding my bicycle. In fact, I don't even notice them while riding or walking other than, being winter now, my knees feel pleasantly warmer while I'm riding. I'm 5 ft 11 in, weighing in @ 180 lbs and the Large size fits fine.These are the first kneepads I've used, and factoring in how valuable my knees are, I decided to cut no corners. I ride a mountain bike around town more than off road. But taking a fall in an urban setting is not less risky, you're pretty much guaranteed to be impacting asphalt, pavement or a curb at 12 mph or greater. Off road, you might be more likely to impact soft leaves and soil. Additionally, being but a few years shy of 60, one begins to appreciate how costly injuries can be, and how you don't heal as quickly as you used to.

They look well made. However, the size should be ordered ONE SIZE UP, they run small!!! I ordered large. However, I was almost an inch below the chart specs on large. Extra large could have been OK. The large is a little tight. Hoping that they will stretch as I get to use them more. I can bend my knees without discomfort. I have yet been able to ride with the. I hope this was helpful good luck.

Super comfortable and light. The breathable material keeps my knees cool. The rubber lining keeps the knee pads from fall and after a few hours of riding, the knee pad is exactly where I put it. Haven’t crashed yet but the honey comb padding feels like it’ll hold up on any crash. Great product

perfect, do not mind to pedal around 45km in them, very flexible, use them even for xc, good protection and after couple crashes still looks like new, good ventilation, I used them even in 30°C pedaling for 35km, not a disaster. I was between sizes, took bigger and it holds perfectly in place, no need to readjust ever. Pricey but you will soon forgot that and the comfort and protection is really worth it!
