I chose the blue version as the picture suggests it's a different pattern to the red one. ie it doesn't have the chequered parts on it which in my opinion makes it look less childish. However it has just arrived and it is the chequered version which is disappointing. The finishing is a little dodgy but for the money it's still good value and fits my 13 year old perfectly so I will be keeping it regardless. If you're not looking to spend a fortune then I definitely recommend this but it would be nice if you could see what you're getting. I would have rated it five stars but as it is effectively not what I ordered it only gets three.
