Waterproof or breathable - bike jackets explained.

Keep them safe and protected as they learn and challenge themselves

Key things to know about getting kids out and riding off road trails is that you need basic gear: a mountain bike helmet and bike gloves to keep them safe and protected when they ride. To prevent them being put off from abrasions and injuries from falls consider adding padding for the knees and maybe their elbows.

Best way to make sure you get the safety and protection you need is to match your helmet and gloves to the level of riding the kids do. Choose soft or hard protective padding to best match the riding and activities they do.

If they feel safe they will enjoy riding the trails

Riding Clothing to support their comfort 

Key things to know about kids and comfort… is that often the seat on your kids bike will not support their comfort. Having specific biking/outdoor clothes helps them want to go riding. They know how to get ready and what to wear when they are going for a ride.

Best way to improve their seat comfort is to add a layer of cushioning.  Padded bike underwear can help them enjoy their time on the bike. Have performance riding clothing that they love, is breathable, moisture wicking, and for jackets is waterproof.

If they are comfortable in their clothing they will ride more.

Additional Gear to help your ride be successful

Key things to know… is that little things will make a big difference.  Are they tired, will they get thirsty? Have you protected their bike from damage? When kids ride they want and need to drink so having access to water is important.

Best way to assist them when tired is to carry a tow rope. A tow rope provides a safe way for you to assist your child over challenging terrain, distance, through weather or up hills. Always carry water and be prepared for accidents or mechanical issues.

Carrying what you need will make for a successful biking experience.
