More flexible, lighter, thinner, and still giving the highest level of certified protection; choose this vest when flexibility and freedom of movement are what matter most.
Created by revisiting the scientific fundamentals of what a back protector should do, the new VPD Max Vest works to give a sense of complete trust in your own ability to move and turn exactly as you need in every situation.
Developing the principle of using cylinders of protective material first seen in our VPD System knee pads, the new VPD protector was developed with polymer specialists Norsorex and features columns of VPD moulded to both sides of a fabric base to give more flexibility and softness than is possible with a traditional foam protector. The columns still harden or deform as required to absorb and dissipate any impact forces.
The hollow cylindrical columns maintain the highest impact protection properties, and are certified to EN1621-2, Level 2 standards.
The shape and spacing of the columns from one another allows for good airflow around the vest, helping keep you comfortable and preventing overheating. The vest is constructed from an elasticated lightweight mesh fabric, giving exceptional airflow, breathability and durability.
