You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Hi guys
My six year old has just progressed to red route mtb, he really could do with some decent protection as he scares the life out of me. I am really struggling to find what would fit him. He is currently using normal cycle helmet but would like more base of skull protection, as for knee/elbow we did try those cheap £14.99 sets off ebay, but too uncomfortable.
Any help would be most appreciated, price is not really an issue as I want him to be safe.
I got mine an armoured top at that age, plus MX trousers - we went to Chicksands a lot, so came in very handy.
This kind of thing:
Still got it if you are interested?
Also wore a FF helmet.
Looks overkill, but it meant that when he fell he didn't really hurt himself - especially on gravel and the like.

My 7yrs old has a 661 full face and the g form pads in xs work really well and a real very comfy
I've bought fox peewee elbow pads off eBay and fox small youth knee pads this week. My 7yr old hasn't worn them yet so don't yet know how comfy they are.
Thanks guys and thanks B R for the links and pics. Going to browse your suggestions.
