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."
