Cycling jacket/top for DS aged 11

[mothermirth]

Can anyone recommend a good brand/shop? I've googled, but can't find anything that looks right. He wants a long-sleeved, zip-up one in a bright colour. Ideally in fabric similar to the kind of nylon-mix that tracksuits used to be made out of.

TIA

try isla bikes - they do children's cycle clothing

Thank you

Any other mums of cyclists?

Most local bike shops stocK Altura stuff - also some Halfords' and Evans cycles (big chain, no pun intended)

The type of fabric you want is called softshell.

depends on the size of him but you may get away with a small mens

above site are brilliant

If you've got a Decathlon near you, they have loads. They maybe have a website that you can buy online, too.

Thank you all for your help.

Off to shop.

Two of my children race during the summer - I say two, the youngest is only 4 but has been taking part in young childrens races since he was one and a half years old. He's been riding a bike without stabilisers since he was 2. We put him on a balance bike at one and a half and within 5 minutes of having a proper bike with no stabilisers he was off around the car park on his own.
My other son is 13 and regularly races at Mallory Park.
