Childrens Clothes

Children's cycling clothing: protection & performance

Adults, children and adolescent riders all have the same thing in common: they need the right clothing to really make the most of their favourite sport. Wearing the right cycling gear is more than just a fashion statement. It’s all about comfort, staying cool and enjoying the ride. High quality cycle wear for children and teens keeps them friction-free and happy in the saddle for as long as possible, so they can maximise their fun.

Children’s bike jerseys, shorts and pants all offer the right race-feeling and maximum freedom of movement:

Kid’s cycling jerseys

Long and short-sleeved children’s jerseys from the likes of Endura, O’Neal and Gonso are offered both individually and in sets; so you can be confident that the size ratios are balanced for your young one. Breathable, sweat-wicking materials and handy pockets for stashing essentials will keep your kid cool and well-prepared.

Children’s cycling shorts and pants

High-quality padded bike shorts and long pants protect mini roadies and mountain bikers from saddle sores, scuffs, cuts and bruises. Brands such as Northwave and Cube provide classic bike shorts and baggies for road rides and MTB sessions alike, whilst Sportful offers junior his or her first pair of bib shorts.

Raincoats, jackets and thermo-jerseys keep smaller riders warm and dry in less than ideal weather conditions.

Kid’s rain protection and thermal warmers

Outside adventures inevitably means getting caught out in bad weather – whether you’ve planned to or not. Help your child beat cold, wet or wintry days with the best waterproof kit, thermal insulation and windproof, warming jackets available from Vaude and Gonso.

Children’s casual bike togs

For laid-back days spent down the bike park, you’ll find cool-casual t-shirts for children from the likes of Dakine and Vaude available here.

Kid’s armoured protection and pads

You’ll find specialised safety clothing and protection for the budding BMXers and downhillers in your life under our ‘Protective Gear’ category in ‘Accessories’. These include children’s knee and shin protectors, chest protectors, armoured tops and torso protection from brands such as bluegrass, ONeal, SixSixOne and Uvex.

Children’s cycling helmets

Of all the items of clothing a child may wear whilst riding their bike, without a doubt the most important is a good-quality helmet. Look for a certified helmet that is the right size, with the correct shape of profile and coverage for their age and the type of bike they’ll be riding. Other desirable features include adjustable fitting systems that ensure the perfect fit on your child’s head, air vents to keep them cool and comfy, easy-to-wash removable padding and shock-absorbing EPS foam liners.
