POC Spine Ergo BUG
Using the identical ergonomic hard shell design as the groundbreaking POC Spine Ergo, POC’s Spine Ergo BUG employs EVA as its cushion, an expanded rubber padding known for both its softness and shock absorption to provide excellent ski, snowboard, and cycling spine guard protection. The BUG series is designed for the freeride or all-mountain skier or boarder.
The POC Spine Ergo BUG offers you:
- Five, oversized, ergonomic Polypropylene Shields that completely cover your spine and central back area
- EVA expanded rubber pads sewn directly into the four shields
- Air Induction System through the polypropylene shields for maximum breathability
- Six-inch, heavy-duty, adjustable spandex waist belt to fit snugly around any waist
- Quick-hitch suspenders for easy on-off
- Lightweight design for maximum mobility and range of motion
- Velcro attachments to snap-fit the POC Cervical and POC Coccyx protectors (sold separately) for additional protection of your neck and tailbone
- Convenient hanger loop for excellent portability and storage
POC Spine Ergo BUG--Cushioned hard shell construction
POC combines excellent protection with adjustability to give you a top-notch spine guard that will fit well on every torso. The four shields of the POC Spine Ergo Bug are made of hardened polypropylene. These shields are padded with EVA, a shock absorbing and durable form of expanded foam rubber. Thus, like the POC Spine Ergo, the POC Spine Ergo Bug works for you in two ways. The hardened polypropylene shields spread the impact from your fall, while the EVA pads help to absorb the impact.
POC of Sweden – Gorgeous Design, Superior Protection
We can’t think of enough superlatives to describe the new line of ski, snowboard, and cycling body armor from POC of Sweden. POC marries superior technology with spare Scandinavian styling to produce what is arguably some of the most effective and attractive body armor on the planet. The company has won numerous international design awards. In terms of safety, one award in particular stands out. Volvo, possibly the most safety-conscious company in the world, awarded POC its Grand Prize in the category of Active Safety as part of their prestigious annual Volvo ISPO Sports Design Award competition.
POC Spine Ergo BUG--The Best of the Rest for a Few Dollars Less
After the POC Spine Ergo, the POC Spine Ergo BUG is the best stand-alone hard shell ski, snowboard, and cycling spine guard available. Like its more racing-oriented big brother (the standard Spine Ergo), the Spine Ergo BUG provides excellent protection for your back and spine, yet restricts none of your mobility or range of motion.
