VPD System Back Protection

Unmatched Flexibility and Safety

The VPD System Back is a standout in the realm of protective gear, offering unparalleled flexibility and safety for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. This back protector is crafted from visco-elastic polymer dough (VPD), a material renowned for its ability to adapt to your body’s movements. It provides a full range of motion while maintaining high-impact safety standards. Certified to EN1621-2, Level 1, the VPD System Back ensures superior protection by instantly hardening upon impact and then returning to its flexible state. This dynamic response not only safeguards your back but also allows you to move freely and comfortably on the slopes. Its ventilated design enhances breathability, making it suitable for long days of intense activity. The VPD System Back is a perfect blend of technology and design, ensuring that your adventures are as safe as they are enjoyable. Experience freedom without compromising on safety with this innovative back protector.

How VPD Material Works

VPD, or visco-elastic polymer dough, is a revolutionary material that forms the backbone of VPD System Back protection, offering both flexibility and robustness. The material is engineered to be soft and pliable during regular use, allowing it to contour naturally to the body for unparalleled comfort. However, its true innovation lies in its reaction to impact. Upon receiving a sudden force, the VPD material instantly hardens, dispersing the energy across its surface to minimize injury risk. This rapid transformation provides exceptional impact absorption without compromising the wearer’s mobility. Once the force dissipates, the material quickly returns to its original flexible state, ready for the next adventure. This dynamic behavior makes VPD an ideal choice for protective gear, combining the best elements of comfort and safety. Understanding how VPD works highlights the sophistication behind its design, ensuring that each user remains protected and unhindered on the slopes.
