POC Y's VPD Air Vest 2027
Designed for growing skiers and snowboarders, the POC Y's VPD Air Vest offers certified back protection in a lightweight, low-profile design that moves naturally with the body. Whether carving groomers, exploring the terrain park, or venturing off-piste, this vest provides the protection young riders need without restricting their movement.
The EN1621-2 Level 1 certified VPD Air back protector features an innovative honeycomb-inspired structure that delivers excellent impact absorption while minimizing weight. As with all VPD protectors, the material softens slightly with body heat, conforming to the rider's shape for exceptional comfort and unrestricted mobility throughout the day.
A close-fitting mesh vest keeps the protector securely positioned without the need for an uncomfortable waistband, while extensive perforations throughout both the protector and garment maximize airflow to help regulate body temperature. The slim profile layers comfortably beneath a ski or snowboard jacket, making it easy to wear from first chair to last run.
