R Riders Kids GO-SHOCK™ Padded Riding Hoodie – Quick Overview
Best for: young riders looking for warmth, comfort and additional padded coverage.
Outer layer: windproof material designed for cooler riding conditions.
Padding: GO-SHOCK™ foam forearm pads, moulded elbow padding and a reinforced padded spine panel.
Fit: rider-specific design with stretch fabric and a dropped rear tail.
Our view: a comfortable trail-ready layer that combines the practicality of a riding hoodie with strategically positioned padding.
Designed for young riders who love to push their limits, the Kids GO-SHOCK™ Padded Riding Hoodie combines warmth, comfort and additional padded coverage in one trail-ready layer.
Built with a windproof outer material to help keep the chill at bay, this versatile hoodie is ideal for cooler riding sessions, trail days and everyday outdoor adventures.
GO-SHOCK™ foam padding on both forearms is combined with ergonomic elbow moulding to provide additional coverage around common impact areas. A thicker padded spine panel adds further coverage through the centre of the back.
The comfortable stretch material allows young riders to move freely on the bike, while the dropped rear tail and silicone grip hem help keep the hoodie securely positioned when moving in and out of the saddle.
My Take
This is a really useful riding layer for cooler days. It gives young riders the warmth and comfort of a hoodie while adding strategically positioned padding around the forearms, elbows and spine.
The dropped rear tail, stretch fabric and low-profile hood show that it has been designed specifically for use on a bike rather than being an ordinary casual hoodie.
For trail riding, electric bikes and colder track days, it offers a practical balance of warmth, freedom of movement and additional padded coverage.

Kids Padded Riding Hoodie Size Guide
For the best fit, compare the measurements below with a hoodie or riding top that already fits the rider comfortably.
Chest-width measurements are taken across the front of the hoodie while it is laid flat. They represent half of the full chest circumference.
Size Age Guide Half Chest Width Body Length 2–3 Ages 2–3 34cm 50cm 3–4 Ages 3–4 35cm 50cm 4–5 Ages 4–5 36cm 52cm 5–6 Ages 5–6 37cm 53cm 6–7 Ages 6–7 38cm 54cm YS – Youth Small Ages 7–9 40cm 59cm YM – Youth Medium Ages 9–11 42cm 64cm YL – Youth Large Ages 11–14 44cm 67cm Age ranges are a guide only. We recommend using the chest-width and body-length measurements when selecting the most suitable size.
How to Measure for the Correct Size
1. Measure the Chest Width
Lay a well-fitting hoodie or riding top flat and measure straight across from armpit to armpit.
2. Measure the Body Length
Measure from the highest point of the shoulder down to the bottom of the garment.
3. Compare the Measurements
Select the closest size while allowing room for any base layers that will be worn underneath.
Between sizes? If the rider is between sizes, still growing or likely to wear additional layers underneath, choosing the larger size may provide a more comfortable fit.
