Here's a copy of my previous post regarding gear I bought for my (then) 9 year old son, Eric. He's now 11, and the same gear is serving him well.
"Last year, I purchased gear from BabyBiker.com for my 10 year old son, and we couldn't be happier. The quality of his coat, pants and gloves rivals that of my Olympia, TourMaster or Cortech gear, or my wife's Rev'It gear. Armor in all the right places, lots of pockets, zip out quilted waterproof liners, great fit and finish--and a price tag to match! Shipping was relatively inexpensive and quick from the UK to NY, maybe 3-4 days by parcel post. Do yourself a favor so you don't have to do this every year, I bought my son a coat and pants which both have a 2" zippered extension; one around the knees, and one at the shoulders. This will hopefully allow him to grow, but not outgrow the gear in one year. It costs just a little bit more than the ones without the zipper extension, but you might squeeze and extra season or two out of it. I also bought him winter weight nylon gloves to match, and they're great too. Nothing but good things to say about them, and they were very helpful sizing too. Make sure you give them ALL of your kids' measurements to insure the right fit, and keep in mind these things run tight and small. We had to return one pair of pants, even though the size sounded right, they were way too tight for my son. Play it safe and go a little bigger. You'll love the stuff. Nowhere is gear like this available in the states; Lord knows I tried for almost a year, until I found these guys."

Their a UK outfitter. They used to have a distributor in the US but not any more. I bought a jacket and pants for my 10 year old. Priced comparable (even with shipping) to gear we'd buy for ourselves. High quality. And the C/S they give is second to none. Tania and I must have swapped about 10 emails over sizes and availability and such so that she could be sure she got me the right stuff.
Highly recommended.

Thanks for the imput. I already started looking at the suit that BMW makes for kids but will look into those other options as well!

Voni,
Please ck the private message from me about the jacket. I may not be able to get back with you until early next week. I am doing the Not Superman rally on Saturday in Cape.
