Now that my little fella is of riding age (well a Yamaha PW50 anyway), I’ve had to start investing in riding gear. He’s three years old and it seems like every day his body grows. So when I started looking for riding gear, my priority was on value for money as he isn’t going fast enough to do any serious damage and I knew the O’Neal Kids Riding Gear would fit in the budget.
I was immediately drawn to the O’Neal gear because having worn it as an adult for over a decade, I believe it represents excellent value for money. I picked up Jaxon, my son, the O’Neal 1 Series Rex helmet, the O’Neal Element Attack riding gear and the O’Neal Kids boots.
I knew Jax would love the 1 SRS helmet because it’s covered in dinosaurs and they’re his favourite at the moment. Plus, it’s got that ABS Shell construction, a plush and removable/washable padded liner, an adjustable visor, intake and exhaust vents and access to replacement parts in case he breaks anything.
The Elements apparel I mainly got because it’s fluro and I can see him! But also because it has elbow padding, cool graphics, a breathable material, spandex in the pants where he needs extra movement and an adjustable rachet waist in the pant so I could get a slightly larger size to last him longer.
The Rider boots are an entry-level boot with plenty of protection via the plastic, a metal shank through the sole for reinforcement, a snap-lock adjustable buckle system that even Jax can do (there’s three of them), a metal toe guard, grippy sole and a synthetic leather heat shield to prevent heat damage.
Jax rides every week so let’s see how they go!
