They've all been designed with plenty of room for growth and have the features and functionality you'd expect of adult cycling kit, with breathable fabrics, reflective details and child-friendly zips.
Established in 2006 by former British national cyclo-cross champion Isla Rowntree, Islabikes make bikes for children aged two and upwards, and they've consistently done well in our tests. This move into clothing marks another progression for the company, who've run demo days at their Shropshire HQ for the past two years.
"We've introduced kids clothing because of the many requests from our bike customers," said Rowntree. "They kept telling us amazing stories of the trips they had done on our bikes, and how they wanted proper cycling kit for their future adventures."

Looks a nice range. However, if the cycle club my kids go to is any indication, Isla will have a hard time trumping Decathlon. Their kids cycle range is very cheap, good quality, and plenty good enough with the speed they grow.

Seems about twice the price of decathlon. I am sure it will sell well and will be good kit - that part of the market is poorly served other than decathlon up until now, so there is definately a niche market ripe for the picking.
However I take exception to the "all been designed with plenty of room for growth" statement - you can have as much room for growth as you like in any range of clothes if you buy a size that has plenty of room... What a bizarre statement...!

Far too expensive. You can buy hiking and other sports gear by top brands at a far less price than this, so why charge this much for similar material?? Decathlon is a much better option for the price and if it gets trashed... not such a big deal.
