POC Joint VPD System Knee

END 033 Knieschoner Test Review POC Joint VPD System Knee 9 1140x760

Probably the most complex knee pad on test, the POC Joint VPD System Knee has a multi-layered construction that is extremely comfortable and the high-quality production is truly outstanding. In the lab the POC delivered good results, with a protective function that is achieved through a gel-like material processed into a honeycomb structure. POC successfully proves that there are alternatives to viscoelastic-foam. We’re absolutely convinced that we will see more materials of this kind in the future. The ventilation could be better and the price of € 159.95 seems a little steep – and yet the POC is a superb kneepad. Since the Joint VPD System Knee doesn’t feature any straps, you really want to make sure it fits well to avoid any slippage. It’s highly advisable to try the POC on before buying!
