POC Spine VPD Tee
A short sleeve jacket with shoulder-cups, breast plates and a back protector. One of few certified at Level 2 (“High performance”) of the motor cycle standard EN 1621-2. The new back-protector-concept is made of the new Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough (VPD) that gives a high level of protection as well as a unique capability to adapt its shape to your body. The ambition has been to support mobility and comfort, incorporating the highest possible level of spinal and torso protection.

04 Removable and flexible waistband
05 Patent-pending snap-on Cervical and Coccyx in sandwich-molded and lined polyethylene.
Our VPD back protector outperform the EN 1621-2 standard Level 1 (18kN) reaching the higher Level 2 requirements (9kN). Still many CE approved protection systems have a relatively static impact absorption curve and are constructed to just pass the specific CE-Norm test. This means that low energy impacts are transferred almost directly to the body. Our VPD back protector does not only exceed the required shock absorbance CE-values, it also releases the energy gradually so the spine will not be exposed to any force peaks.

For the back protectors, the intended protection area is from the top of the scapula (shoulder blade) and all the way down over the lowest lumbar vertebra and the upper part of the sacrum.
Biketart says: In our opinion the best piece of body armour on the market. Outstanding design, protection and comfort.
