Swedish-based POC has good news for bikers and others who need back protection in falls. POC’s protective clothing uses a new impact-reactive material that stiffens on impact to act as a brace against injury. The material used in both a spine-protecting vest and tee is in the same family as the memory foam used in mattresses.
Visco Elastic Polymer Dough is a very shock-absorbing material used in the POC Spine VPD Armor line of protective clothing for cyclists. The polymer compound and the technology that produces the soft ergonomic material received its second Materialica Design and Technology award in 2009.
This innovative dough-like material is applied science that promises to reduce serious injuries for hard-core bike enthusiasts.
All our products have been tested by top world gravity sport athletes and then further refined to perfection. Our athlete friends love to go flat out but without suffering cuts, bruises and headaches, or in the worst cases, risking back or brain damage as a result of crashes that sadly happens to even the best athletes. The end result is a line of lightweight, high performance gear that offers the ultimate protection against injury thanks to superior impact absorption and penetration resistance.
