Can anyone loan me some kids road jacket and pants? Frosty has kindly loaned me some boots and a helmet, but I need the other stuff. I want to take him out for a ride and see if he likes it before I spend the $$ on gear - especially the way he is growing out of his clothes at present.
He is 9yo, takes about a size 10s - more or less chest and waist 27" (690mm), inside leg, 20" (500mm), arm 360mm (14.5"). Of course, I expect these to have increased by this time tomorrow based on recent trends...

I'm on the North Shore, and have a collection of stuff you could borrow for a couple of days (I'll be in trouble if my son notices!).

I think I have a jacket that will fit, but the pants will be too small. However I do have a collection of knee pads that should be fine for a low speed ride.

EDIT: ps, sent you a friend request, which will allow you to see my cell phone number in case you want to send me a TXT.
