Took a couple of rides to break in but after that they stay in place really well and aren’t too uncomfortable during climbs. No rashes or burns even after 10+ miles in 90 degree heat. Cover most of my shins.

Really happy with these pads. I know they come with a hefty price tag but they’re definitely worth it. I came off my bike recently and didn’t feel a thing!

Nach Größentabelle bestellt und sie sitzen perfekt. Machen einen sehr hochwertigen und robusten Eindruck. Nach Proberunde kein Stück verrutscht. Habe sehr kräftige Waden und sie passen 1A. Da drückt nichts. Teuer, aber ihren Preis wert!

When I ordered these I didn’t anticipate they would be as heavy and heavy duty as they are! Comfort and fit were spot on as usual for POC (5’8″ @ 162lbs) and they extended far enough down the shin to protect from getting hit with a pedal. The padding is effective against impact and molds to your leg quite well. The guards have stayed in position regardless on my antics on the trail and jumping. I would highly recommend these to anyone wanting some heavier duty protection that covers the shins.

These are top notch, but difficult to size. Kiddo couldn’t actually get these on, even though the size chart said they’d be ok (he couldn’t easily get his ankle through them). Getting these on seems to be like putting on a wetsuit, only way less dignified. With the right size they’d be fantastic, but it’s probably worth checking these out in person at your local shop for correct size.

Box was not sealed, small pads put into a large box.

POC gear is great however I cannot imagine wearing these for anything other than serious drops. I would not wear them on climbs or any sort of cross country. They are heavy and movement restricting. In a fall, they would be excellent. Shin coverage is good – not for pedal strikes, but for rocks on a fall. Maybe keep them in your backpack until a hairy descent. Otherwise, save them for the chairlift days.
I also own the 1.0 pads, which are great for trail rides. I actually keep them in my pack until I reach the top of the ride. That model is much better suited for the sort of riding I do.

Después de comparar varias marcas y leer varios reviews, me decante por esta marca tan reconocida en el mundo de la protección, Son increíbles, realmente son mejores de lo que esperaba, se adaptan perfectamente y después de 10 minutos ni te das cuenta que la llevas, a nivel de protección, la goma absorbe muchísimo, yo la uso para enduro y DH, no esta concebida para un golpe muy bestia, para eso hay que pasar al siguiente nivel que son las duras, pero solo las usaría para DH, este modelo se adapta para riders exigentes y y protege muchísimo.

Les genouillères VPD 2.0 offre une excellente protection et absorption des chocs, flexibilité et confort. La forme moulée pré-pliée les maintient en place et donne un meilleur confort et une meilleure protection lors d’un choc. Matériaux extensibles et doux, même en pédalant.

As others mentioned, they are hard to keep on if you pedal a lot. They start rubbing under ankles pretty fast.

There’s no question about POC’s product quality but judging from various reviews I was concerned about the proper size to order.
I’m 6’2″ and chose the LARGE size. Ridden on two trips, total 25 miles of X-country and can happily report these knee pads are PERFECT. No slippage, and until you remove them probably will forget you even are wearing them. My leg size where the upper strap attaches is 19″, and where the strap attaches around my calf is 14.75″. They fit snug but not tight. Just the way you want them! I hope this helps others with any sizing concerns.

Protects knee well. Felt a little tight in the beginning. Used it for 7+ hours ride, and did not feel uncomfortable at all.
