My niece and nephew would like cycling jackets for Christmas - emphasis on visibility. Any good ideas on where to get them? Decathlon ? (The kids are 11 and 8).

Try Polaris or Altura. Both are fine quality wise for kids.

The Polaris site normally has some good prices.

I bought my nephew a Proviz Reflect 360+, works really well as being smaller he is much closer to car headlight height, so gets lit up really well.

He still scares the shit out of me cycling with him as he can just wander off into his own head and cycle out into a junction without looking and without any realisation of where he is.

Decathlon stuff is great for the money, Polaris, Altura or Dare2Be also might be worth a look

I got my two children a Dare2b cycling jacket each. The zip soon went on the first one and I got my money back. After a year the zip went on the second one, the quality is a long way below what you get from Decathlon..................

Not tried it but the Endura one on sale at Evans looks like a bargain. His & hers colours too if they like that sort of thing.
