Needless to say, it wasn’t the easiest to ride in, and it would chafe like crazy. Those times are long gone, thankfully, and the latest generation of armor, like the POC Joint VPD 2.0 Elbow Guard, has arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVPD is a soft-until-you-hit-it armor that’s flexible and easy to ride while wearing, but it hardens on impact to protect your bones from injury. And, in place of those horrible straps of old is a spandex sleeve that slides right up your arm, keeping the armor in place, wicking moisture, and not causing injury to your skin. You’ll still find top and bottom straps, but they’re reinforcements, instead of primary retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-id=\"productId\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVPD armor is soft until impact, then hardens to protect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpandex sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook-and-loop straps top and bottom for extra security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"POC","offers":[{"title":"Uranium Black \/ S","offer_id":46852303028375,"sku":"210000071417","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/0176\/2199\/files\/ynpqk1irmfveoh0gtj9v.jpg?v=1769836010","url":"https:\/\/www.philbricks.com\/products\/poc-joint-vpd-2-0-elbow-pad","provider":"Philbricks Ski Board \u0026 Bike","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
