What began as a hobby of a motocross racing teenager named Troy Lee, painting helmets in his parents garage for his friends, has grown to become recognized as the premier custom helmet paint shop in the world. TLD is the place where "The World's Fastest Racers" go when only the best will do. “We are racers, we are spectators. We are drivers - we are passengers. We are artists, designers and dreamers. We define the future by referring to the past. We don't follow trends - we create them. We have ideas, vision and passion. We take chances. We win, lose and sometimes DNF. We play it safe - we break the rules. We are Troy Lee Designs…” Troy Lee Designs have been in business for over 25 years. Over that time they have not only been perfecting the quality of their products but with Troy's dedication to avant-garde design they have also managed to make some of the most attractive and noticeable apparel on the market.
