POC questions

I've always wondered how it's pronounced. Is it like the letters separate P (pause) O (pause) C? or like paak?

like paak

poc spine protectors are pretty nice, and protect well, i've used them, and owned a similar one. they aren't noticeably heavy, but more awkward and a little bulgy, and i always had the problem of the waist belt riding up.

I highly recommend looking into slytech,http://www.slytechprotection.com/back-protection/2nd-skin-logo-standard/
i got one of these last year, and i wear it without the straps, and just wear a tight under armor over it.
It's really nice, because your body heat makes it really pliable, so you can barely feel that you are even wearing it, and then it hardens on impact. The tail bone pad is super nice, too. And no shoulder straps means no riding up.

Slytech=fantastic. And if you fall on your back, you dont slipe..they outlawed the old POC ones with the plastic back in racing because you gained more speed if you fell on your back..

i think I mite go with the vest version size L and the thigh/hip protectors size M. Thanks for the help guys! (the only reason i'm buying so many pads is because i wanna learn a lotta shit this year and i dont want pain/injury to be in the way)
