POC, Spine VPD Air Backpack 13 with Back Protector, Mountain Biking Armor for Men and Women

This is the best backpack for Mtb I ever use and the back protection is very big plus love POC.

I have yet to use this product but I don’t like the stationary suspension - this is not adjustable on the shoulder straps.

Bought this pack for my husband. I have the smaller version of this one. We both love it. Super comfortable and is secure on jumps. I purchased a bladder as well and it’s great. I wish I would have gone with this bigger pack instead of the 8L but I still love it!

Solid stable pack for super long rides.

This backpack should cost 14.99$ -It's not worth more than that.It's cheaply made and the straps are thin..returned it right away

I bought this for my son to carry his books in for he is small and his present backpack really hurts him. This backpack is too small to carry his books. I just downloaded the information needed to return and the company will charge a large processing return fee and will not pay for return shipping. But what really sucks is the company says they will not accept a return if the package has been opened? How would someone know it would not work if they did not open the package. I will change this review if they accept the return. If not, I am going to raise a stink. I buy a lot on Amazon for my business and have never heard of a policy like this before.

I will start by saying that I purchased this directly from POC, not Amazon.I'm a large man that went from weightlifting to MTB and I struggled to find something that would fit (I have a very wide back). The Camelback system was way too small so I decided to give POC a try and it fits so much better. I can say that I immediately felt more confident the moment I felt this bag hug my back.Moving on, I purchased this bag about two weeks ago and I flew over the bars yesterday morning (rolled with the bike forward). Fortunately, the water bladder and spine protection took most of the impact and I went back home with no more than a sore elbow. Also, keep in mind that I keep bike tools and camera gear in this bag but I didn't feel a thing during the fall (nothing poked me or came out of the bag). I would recommend this product and I will continue to ride with this bag.

Firstly, the main thing - I found the bag to be comfortable to wear, doesn't move around, and so far I have used it for MTB rides up to 2 hours. I did find at times the straps felt like they were digging in but a quick adjustment so they are sitting in a slightly different place every 20 mins or so sorted that. I think that is because the "bulk" of the straps is down the edges as the middle is breathable mesh, meaning the edges dig in a bit more than if it was a solid strap. However, I would take the breathability it offers rather than change the strap.It has loads of storage room. I take a lot of stuff riding (everything but the kitchen sink) and it easily fits a 2L bladder, spare tubes, first aid kit, some tools, some sandwiches etc and had lots of room to spare. The little pouches on the bottom of the straps are handy for small items.It has two secure side zipped pockets which are good for things like your phone/wallet etc.I feel it could be even better with more space management solutions in the main bag space to make best use of the space, or maybe divide it into two main pockets. Within the main space it has a slide in pocket for your bladder, one other small slide in pocket and a couple of smaller ones for tools etc, and then the rest is one space. I think a few more compartments/dividers could help but that is probably personal choice. I also feel the helmet holder is a bit of a wasted opportunity. It is an open flap with buckles at the top, so it is perfect for holding a helmet (as you'd expect!), or you could scrunch a top or something into it. However, many people won't need it for that so a simple addition of a zip or velcro at the top would mean it is a handy 2nd storage compartment for smaller items as well. Personally, I will be adding some velcro to turn it into that.Would I buy it again - yes.

POC hat mit diesem Rucksack ein leichten, wertigen Rucksack mit Rückenprotektor im Programm. Schon 2017/18 vorgestellt, ist dieser sowohl was Materialien als auch Aussehen noch immer sehr zeitgemäß und passt gut in die aktuelle Kollektion det schwedischen Premium-Marke.Der Rucksack eignet sich gerade für die wärmere Jahrezeit, weil er grade an den Schultergurten sehr gut belüftet ist, aber doch, bedingt durch die breiten Tragegurte, super am Rücken sitzt. Der Hüftgurt wird durch einen zweiten Brustgurt ersetzt. Innovativ, sitzt doch der Rucksack beim Biken sehr gut am Rücken. Man spürt den Rucksack so gut wie gar nicht. Genauso wie es sein soll.Viele durchdachte Fächer runden den sehr positiven Eindruck ab.Für mich sollte dieser Rucksack den EVOC FR Endura im Sommer ablösen, da dieser wesentlich massiver, schwer und auch schlechter belüftet ist.

Sitz sehr bequem auf dem Rücken, wenn es mal wild her geht klammert er immernoch fest am Rücken ohne hin und her zu fliegen. Die pads sind weich und flexibel und passen sich auch gut an. Das wichtigste bekommt man rein. Auch die Reinigung fällt leicht. Einfach mit der Dusche abbrausen und ggf nochmal mit nem Lappen nachwischen und sauber...

Zaino con protezione per la schiena, molto bello esteticamente e anche funzionale. Comodo x uscite brevi visto la capienza ridotta. La protezione a mio avviso lascia troppo scoperta la zona lombare e risulta un pochino troppo instabile. Comoda la tasca per il telefono sullo spallaccio,anche se un po piccola, e comode le tasche sul retro per i documenti.

Prodotto di ottima qualità nello stile del marchio. Ben concepito e realizzato, con molti dettagli ed accorgimenti tecnici che ne giustificano il prezzo.
