About this product

The POC Column VPD 13L Backpack is built for longer trail rides and suits taller riders who need certified back protection alongside meaningful carrying capacity. At its core is a 46 cm VPD Air backplate that warms to body temperature and flexes with movement, providing reliable impact protection during a fall. The 13L main compartment offers enough space for tools, a hydration bladder, snacks, and an extra layer of clothing, while dedicated internal sleeves keep tools organized and secure even on demanding terrain. An innovative strap system with adjustable shoulder and sternum straps holds the pack firmly in place without requiring a waist strap. Constructed almost entirely from recycled materials, the design prioritizes durability while keeping environmental impact low. Available in Uranium Black, this one-size pack is a practical choice for riders venturing further from the trailhead for extended sessions.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the POC Column VPD 13L for its certified VPD Air back protection, which is soft and flexible during riding but hardens on impact. The build quality and use of recycled materials also draw positive mentions, and the pack is noted as a good fit for taller riders on longer trail days. However, the most common complaints center on usable storage: once a hydration bladder is loaded, real-world space is far tighter than the 13L rating suggests. The dual-chest-strap system (no waist strap) divides opinion, with some finding it secure and others calling it uncomfortable and poorly fitted for a range of body types. Back ventilation is also flagged as inadequate, and internal organization is considered underwhelming for the price.
