Things have moved on quite quickly in the last few months with his riding and I'm now thinking more and more of safety, I appreciate nothing is 100% safe. Currently it's just full face, gloves and that's it, pads are for a lass was his motto but he's now thinking like me.

That's ^^ now the norm, he was 14 back in Feb so wondering if it's kids stuff or small adult and what to actually get, do we need neck brace, chest padding etc etc

TIA

Troy Lee do a range of youth compression suits and vests

I'm a fan of foam neck rolls rather than braces. EVS race collar for example.

Ah, I thought this was to protect him from a spot of corporal punishment!

Knee pads are the first thing to hit when hitting the floor,
Coaching sessions to ensure the skill is there and get the technique spot on

Step away from the zwift and ask him to teach you how to ride.😉
