When I was a kid we used to go to the local sporting good store for jerseys. They can even get them personalized too. Nice thing about riding pants is they have more built in protection like pads and room for knee pads. I get that they out grow them so you will have to make your own judgment call. BTW, the 7 year old can reuse the 9 year old's stuff when he outgrows it. Make sure the helmet fits good. It's easy to think they will grow into it but fight those thoughts. A loose fitting expensive helmet will protect worse than a well fit cheaper helmet. Try to buy locally so you can try different sizes and brands to see what works best. Most of the reputable mail order places will let you try a different size for free but only once. It's good you are thinking safety. Dress for the crash! [/QUOTE]
