They are certainly in Vogue with all the Enduro gods. You hardly see a pair of Troy Lee or Kyle Strait knee pads anymore and It's all brightly coloured Trabec helmets.

Wildly overpriced though.

My POC gloves are the best I've worn but I only bought them in the sale. Goggles are no better than any others.

Yikes, POC prices with none of the protection, be interesting to see a review - my POC VPD shorts were really badly stitched in places

Some POC kit kind of makes sense- my Bone elbow pads were expensive but they're also completely and totally brilliant. But other stuff's hilarious, the £30 tshirts etc.

Ergonomic pre-bent shape

Is that like a pre-straightened ruler?
