POC VPD Max Race Vest Hydrogen White Body protector

The VPD Max Race Vest is designed for the uncompromising conditions of high-speed ski and snowboard racing, where every hundredth of a second counts. It is based on the proven VPD Max technology and features an innovative design that combines maximum impact absorption, precise body fit and unrestricted freedom of movement.

The vest’s core is a V-shaped back plate that reaches a thickness of up to 30 mm in the critical spinal area and tapers gradually towards the sides. This thoughtful design, together with the horizontally flexible Lycra fabric and the 3D mesh layer, ensures a perfect fit to the body’s anatomy, reliable ventilation and the highest level of certified protection.

1. Certified Level 2 protection (Level 2)
   The back protector meets the highest European safety standard EN 1621-2, Level 2, for maximum impact absorption.
2. Thickened V-profile plate up to 30 mm thick
   The central part protects the spine with a thickened layer of damping material, which tapers to the sides for a smoother and more stable fit to the body.
3. Horizontally elastic Lycra fabric
   The advanced knit with controlled elasticity firmly stabilizes the protector on the torso while providing full flexibility during descents.
4. Fully washable and breathable construction
   The lightweight mesh body of the vest with the 3D spacer layer effectively wicks away excess heat and the entire vest can be safely washed in a washing machine.
