Cycling apparel for young cyclists is hard to find, and Aerotech and Craft are two of just a few brands that we’ve found that cater to the little ones. Now kid’s bike specialist Islabikes throws its pint-sized expertise into the ring and expands into the world of performance cycling apparel for young riders. Full details below.
A UK brand based out of Portland, Oregon in the US, Islabikes introduces a performance-oriented cycling jersey and bib shorts for kids. The jersey and shorts are designed with moisture wicking and fast-drying material, to make longer, harder rides more comfortable.
Islabikes shorts are bib-style, because children’s hips are not fully developed and sometimes an elastic waistband is not enough to hold up the shorts. For cycling-enthusiast parents who know the comfort of bibs, offering the same features and comfort for their children makes a lot of sense.

The bib shorts, made from Lycra Sport fiber, and are designed to provide “optimum recovery power, fit and freedom of movement.” The cycling jersey is made out of Dry-Texpolyester with antibacterial fibers for a breathable jersey that is soft and stretchy to help keep its shape. Both the shorts and jersey are available now in three sizes (6-7 years old, 8-9 years old, 10-11 years old) and feature a reflective Islabikes logo for visibility.
