About this product

The POC Column VPD 13L Backpack is built for longer mountain bike days, offering a 13-liter (793 cu in) capacity suited to riders who need to carry tools, a hydration bladder, snacks, and an extra layer of clothing. Its standout feature is a 46 cm VPD Air backplate that warms to body temperature and flexes with movement, providing certified back protection in the event of a fall. The main compartment includes separate tool sleeves to keep gear organized and secure on demanding trails, while two chest pockets add quick-access storage. A removable helmet net and adjustable shoulder and sternum straps keep the pack stable without requiring a waist strap. Constructed almost entirely from recycled and repurposed materials, the design prioritizes durability with a reduced environmental footprint. Available in Uranium Black in a single universal size, this backpack is a practical choice for riders venturing further from the trailhead.

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.
