Anybody got them? Are they worth the £67?
I have heard good things about them but want comfortable knee protection that I can ride in for long periods including climbing.
I like the 661 evos as I have the elbow pads but I've heard that they aren't too well made.

Cheers.

I have the knee/shin VPD pads and the elbow VPD pads and they are the best pads I have had by a country mile and comfortable to wear on long rides.

I've got the knees and they are very comfortable if not just a little sweaty. But I'm looking for deal on the elbows , thats how much I like them.

I don't own a set but I had a good look at them, not convinced, they're much less bulky than the Kyle Straits I use but I'm not convinced they're really any better, they're more enclosed and the coverage doesn't seem as good. I really like POC stuff but it seems like a lot of money for not much benefit.

I have the elbows and think they are brilliant. As soon as my troy lee's fall to bits, i will be buying the poc vpd knees too. I would say worth it for sure based on how good the elbows are

Love my knee ones. Only issue is you can't machine wash them. Instructions say don't get wet but soaking seems to be ok

should have added - I got mine s/h off this very forum for less than half the rrp. If anyone has the elbows they don't like I'll have those as well!

If they're anywhere near as good as the Bones Elbow Pads then you're onto a winner
