Prima esperienza AMAZON sull’usato, posso garantire che aldilà della confezione che era gia stata aperta (come da descrizione) il prodotto sembra nuovo. Usate sotto la tuta da snow per sciare sono molto comode, riesci persino a guidare in auto e camminare ore. Il materiale se tenuto al caldo si ammorbidisce e adatta, ma protegge perfettamente. Non scivolano in giu grazie a delle fasce antiscivolo interne.
Consiglio sia il prodotto che l’usato garantito AMAZON

Fantastic service from Backcountry, from ordering to my door in one day.
I have a set of Fox Launch Pro pads that I’ve been wearing for the last few weeks, a descent pad, maybe a little bulky but the sizes run very small. Even the L/XL was giving me problems after an hour or so of riding.
I had these recommended to me by a friend and decided to spend the extra cash and give them a try.
I ordered a pair in XL size and as soon as I put them on I knew they were what I had been looking for, Light, comfortable and a good level of protection. The fit is perfect, the pad stays in place without chafing. They are a lower profile than the Fox pads I was using and there are no problems wearing them under 3/4 shorts. They are a little expensive but I’m happy with paying the extra cash for a pad that I can actually wear without discomfort.
I think POC now do a Downhill version that may be worth looking at if you need something more robust, after all these are more of a XC / Enduro pad.

I’m fairly new to the mountain bike world. So, after viewing a lot of knee protection and reading hundreds of reviews, this was my pick. Against my better judgment, I followed the sizing chart. They got here faster than they were supposed to, and my first impression when I took them out of the box is that they were gonna be bulky. I put them on and went for a ride. They fit perfectly and after a minute or so, I didn’t even know I had them on. They’re very comfortable and seem like they’ll be great protection!!

When I first put these on… They fit rather snuggly. I thought they were going to be really uncomfortable when I rode my bike, or pinch my legs in weird places. After the first 10 minutes of writing… They immediately stretched out to fit my leg perfectly. They didn’t prevent circulation, and actually breathe very well. They provide a lot more protection than I realized with the thick layer of foam. I have another pair of kneepads that are much thinner and lighter that are probably better for cross country stuff. But these are perfect if you are learning how to jump, or hitting trails with much more unforgiving features.
Perfect for a new rider learning or an advanced rider who wants protection.
From the build quality, I can expect to have these for a very long time.

These are the first pads I have use that are both comfortable and stay put when pedaling. They are a little warm as there is not a huge amount of breathability but I wouldn’t swap them for any other pads now.

Pads are awesome once you find your size. I’m 6’0″ and 165 pounds. The sizing chart on the POC website told me I needed a small size kneepad and large size elbow pad. Once the pads arrived I could not even get the small knee pad on and the large elbow pads were too big. I noticed that each pad had a DIFFERENT SIZING CHART attached to the tag than was provided by the POC website. I assume I am a medium in each pad but will have to wait until that size is back in stock to confirm. I will attach pictures of the sizing charts here – I assume the PRODUCT TAGS ARE CORRECT. The picture of the website is just for comparison. This is a great product and it’s ridiculous the sizing chart is so hard to find.

I just got back from riding 5 miles of intermediate single track. When I put these on I thought they were going to be uncomfortable for the entire ride. Half way through the ride (30 min.) I forgot I even had them on. These knee guards are really great, the material is some type of high tech foam that compresses at a very slow rate. So, when you first put them on they feel awkward. But, as they mold to your knee they become very natural feeling. We ended up going to a bar afterwards and I honestly forgot I was still wearing them. Great product, if you are considering buying knee guards just get these because they’re totally worth it. You don’t want to ride and feel like you might have more fun if you didn’t have knee guards on. I still can’t believe I forgot I was wearing these when we were done…ooops. The best thing to do is follow the fitting chart and measure yourself so you get the right size for you. I was in between sizes and went with the smaller size….one of my better decisions. If you are undecided because of the high tech foam comment, try punching one of these. Yeah, after I did that and quickly realized they are the real deal!

I upgraded from my Air VPD knee pads after a crash. Previously I had good experiences with the Air VPD pads and I still wear them for some riding, but in a major crash I still ended up with a huge bruise on one knee that took weeks to go away. The Joint VPD pads are thicker and firmer material and definitely more protective. They are a bit stiffer and less comfortable to wear, so there is a trade off. I choose which pads to use based on where I will be riding. I found these more comfortable and at least as protective as other brands I tried (Fox, Leatt). Would buy again.

These are my second paid of POC knee pads. The first pair were smaller, easier to slip on, but also easier to slide down when pedaling. The V2 pair have the additional lower strap which aids in keeping the pads in place when pedaling and their protection for the weight is exceptional. I had a bad crash in 2020 with several broken bones but my knees were not even scratched. The pads provide excellent protection. I suspect the new design will be hotter in the summer months since they are longer but they also provide better side protection for the knee which is a worthwhile sacrifice over being comfortable in the heat.

He probado todas las marcas (Fox,Race Face, etc…) estas rodilleras se adaptan super bien, ventilan mucho (mas de lo que me imaginaba) y el pedaleo es muy cómodo, la rodillera está hecha en dos partes, una protección grande para la rodilla y otra placa que está por encima de la rodilla y hace la vez de articulación, en general, las volvería a comprar sin dudarlo

Very important to size yourself correctly, I went with a Large and I’m
Glad I did, if you have any doubts size up these are a snug fit – this however means that they don’t slip on The trail – they are also quite comfortable and you forget your have them on after 10 min or so – you can feel the quality of workmanship as soon as you handle the item, great level of protection also – highly recommended

These are pretty bulky but definitely give that feel of protection which is nice. No real complaints except the sizing. I measured my leg so much I could have built a 3D model of it to make sure I had the right fit. Went with medium, wasn’t able to ride much lately and when I put them on one of them fit great. The other has to be a size smaller in the same package bc I can’t even get my fingers between me and to sleeve to pull it up my leg, it’s ridiculous. I’m passed returns, that’s my fault. So I have 1 really expensive knee pad and another that’s useless unless I lose an inch or two off the diameter of my leg. Probably not going to happen.
