Why We Like The Joint VPD Air Knee Pads
Slip your knees into the POC Joint VPD Air Knee Pads for a lightweight, flexible knee pad that won't restrict pedaling on longer trail rides with lots of climbing. Its VPD padding absorbs impact, should you take a nasty spill on the trail. The reinforced stretch fabric and neoprene anti-slip lining keep the pad firmly in place without limiting your range of motion. Additionally, you'll find an elasticized hook-and-loop strap for a secure, customizable fit.

Love these kneepads

I have a few pairs, but they're great for every day riding. I took a pretty bad fall on some Sedona rock, and these definitely saved my knee from a pretty big hit. I love how they form around your knee, and they're convenient to wear around the ankle on a climb (you can also wear them on your knees as you climb, it's just hot out in the summer).

Wanted to love them

I had high expectations of these pads given the glowing reviews. I was looking to replace a set of Fox enduro pads which I'd worn for a couple seasons, and which were beginning to stretch out. These POCs look decent and have good protection (they are much more protective than my old Fox pads, and while you wouldn't want to use them for DH, they are perfectly adequate for most enduro or trail style riding). I do find the fit a bit funky while riding. They slide on very well and fit fine when standing, but while I'm pedaling I find them to be a bit abrasive and "pinchy." As a result, they are less comfortable for medium to long term rides than my old Fox pads, and in fact I can't wear them for multiple days in a row without getting abrasions that I have to let heal before riding again. Hopefully this will change after a few more rides and washes.

I've had surgeries on both knees, over the years. I am able to climb stairs, use an elliptical machine, jog, etc., but I cannot get on my knees, on the floor---much too painful. But there are several floor exercises that I want to continue to be able to do. Which, if any/all, of your knee pads would be good for this? I don't want anything that will "pinch" my leg or the back of my knee, and prefer something flexible/comfortable. I'm desperate for some help with this, thank you!
