POC Column VPD 13L Backpack Certified Back Protection for Long Days on the Trail Designed for longer trail rides and taller riders, the POC Column VPD 13L Backpack combines certified back protection with practical storage, so you can ride further with confidence. At its core is a 46cm-long VPD Air backplate, which adapts to your body by warming and flexing with movement, yet hardens on impact to provide trusted protection in a crash. With a 13-litre capacity, the backpack offers ample space for tools, nutrition, extra layers, and a hydration bladder—ideal for extended rides away from civilisation. The main compartment features dedicated internal sleeves to keep tools organised and securely in place, even when riding aggressively on technical trails. An innovative strap system with adjustable shoulder straps and a sternum strap ensures the pack stays stable on your back without the need for a waist belt, delivering comfort and freedom of movement throughout the ride. Built with sustainability in mind, the Column VPD Backpack is constructed almost entirely from recycled materials, offering durability with a reduced environmental footprint.
