Kids clothing query

Anyone know who does cheap kids bike clothes?
Need some trousers (thinking textiles as pillion) for the lad. However, as he's only 11 I'm not wanting to pay a fortune as he'll probably outgrown them by the time next summer comes along. He's already needed a new helmet and only rides pillion occasionally so I'm reluctant to throw too much money at the problem (I'd never get it ack by selling the gear on) but still want the safety and comfort angles covered.

Am I alone in the dilema? Has anyone any experiences and solutions to share?

Thanks Thumbs Up

Hi,

Try https://www.babybiker.co.uk/ they have a part exchange service to change them as they grow, and sell second-hand stuff that has been outgrown.

Regards

But if your after small adult then I suppose you will have to buy new and sell on ebay when he outgrows it.

How much you think he needs is is up to you, I often ride in just jeans and the rest of the time with textiles but some on here would have a fit.
How about the draggin jeans - he could at least were them when not on the bike?

i think ebay second hand stuff wd be good as u can probably then sell it on with ebay when he has grown out of it for about the same price.

Map, buy the best you can afford mate.

If he grows out of it in 6 months, so what, just sell it on to someone else in need. I know how you feel not wanting to spend £££ on gear which will hardly be used - but thats not the point is it?

You never know when it's going to happen, at some point, you're likely to be involved in an accident (hopefully not though Smile

)and you're goning to be relying on your gear to keep you in one peice.

How would you feel sat in intensive care watching over him thinking, if i'd only spent that little bit more?

Its easy to forget just how dangerous what we do is. Really think about how much your son's saftey means to you.

You can often get good quaity hardly used seconds on ebay, i'd start by looking there, than you've also got the NEC show soon as well.

Happy hunting bud! Smile

RIck.

Hve you tried Infinity, as you're in York aren't you? They often have a lot of textile stuff in cheap, and I think they have some sort of discount evening coming up soon. Maybe even try looking at the women's range to see what the sizing is like there, but just don't tell your lad that he is wearing women's clothing!
