Recommendations for Helmets, Knee and Arm Pads?

Ask a Question

Please recommend a good set of helmet, knee and arm set for my 12 years old. I know it's too late but he is going to cycle first time and I am getting anxious I want max protection for him.

Recommend some set you used it personally, please.

Leannexxx I know he wouldn't like the idea of wearing pads that's why I am looking for something a bit "cool" so he couldn't say now.

Helmet (a "cool" one perhaps) will be ample when starting off . Knee and shoulder pads are more for BMX and skateboarding . A few knee and elbow scrapes is part of growing up - but protect the noddle , you can't put a plaster on that 🙄.

Golfforall I wanted suggestions of something like that. I seen few on amazon but it's hard to trust of amazon reviews as more sellers get these in exchange of free products
