Revolutionary Troy Lee Designs Premium Protection with Shock Doctor Technology Kick Off Collaboration



Troy Lee Designs, a leader in motorsports apparel and design, and Shock Doctor, Inc., the leader in mouthguard technology and team sports protection products, announced a new Premium Protection line for the motorsports market.

Troy Lee Designs will introduce a line of Premium Protection Products, debuting in the fall of 2010, including protective shirts, shorts, pants, chest and joint protection -- all of which will feature Shock Doctor Technology.



"The amount of R&D that has gone into this collection of Premium Protection Products is mind blowing," said Troy Lee Designs' founder, Troy Lee. "Shock Doctor Technology 'inside' will become a difference maker in Premium Protection. Motocross protective gear has never seen a combination of technology and design like this before. This product is all branded 'Troy Lee Designs' and distinctly features Shock Doctor Technology."

"We were looking for a leadership brand that was a good fit with Shock Doctor and was aligned with our high standards of design and quality," said Tony Armand, President and CEO of Shock Doctor. "Troy Lee Designs is an ideal choice. In addition to controlling their own distribution, which provides an outlet to expose more riders to Shock Doctor Technology, the new product line will offer greater protection and a safer riding experience to more enthusiasts."

"The Shock Doctor team has been working for more than two years on design criteria for this collection," said Bill Best, vice president of product development. "We then refined these concepts through rider testing to ensure we met rider standards. We are thrilled to be working with Troy Lee Designs to provide Premium Protection Products that meet a real need in the market."

Your face.
Wonder what POC and Dainese think about being cited as second place protection?

My guess...

Regular Shock Doctor stuff = 100% MSRP
TLD Shock Doctor stuff = 100% MSRP + 60% TLD tax

:D

I've gotta say, I'd never heard of Shock Doctor before reading the TLD announcement on facebook today, but after having looked at their website, they have some fantastic photos of their products on their website. I'm not saying their stuff is GOOD, because obviously I've never used any of it, but that was money well spent on that photographer, haha.

And yeah, as others have said, this stuff is going to be crazy expensive. I wonder how much of it is going to be for the MTB market.
