Hi,

I’m after some elbow pads and I see that the POC ones come in 2 varieties, the “POC Joint VPD 2.0” and the “POC Joint VPD 2.0 DH”.

Clearly the DH one is the more hardcore (and expensive one). But can anyone please let me know what sort of protection the standard VPD ones offer? I guess I’m looking to be unscathed when say binning it doing a fast run of reds at BPW for example.

Cheers

For total DH speed protection then DH pads will give you that but I have a full set of the VPD2 pads and they are very very very good……but at Antur I wear full leg and arm Race Face hard armour…I also wore that at BPW but would probably (at my ability level at BPW) wear the POCs as there’s less rock to hit in any offs but more trees…..horses for courses…..BPW a lot of folk wear open helmets as opposed to DH…..I wore my full face but would consider an open face again for the same reasons.
