TROY LEE Designs has announced a three-year licensing partnership with the Steve McQueen estate, to produce a limited edition helmet line,which will be unveiled to the public for the first time this week.
With only 700 units going into production, the SE3 helmet features Dual Density Shock Pad System, Dual Density EPS Liner , a newly designed nose guard, air ram top scoop intake, aggressive high flow mouthpiece, and quick-release cheek pads for emergency helmet removal and a Dual Density EPS Liner.

"I have looked up to Steve McQueen my entire life," says Troy Lee. "I have always held great respect for him and everything he represented. I am truly excited to forge this relationship and look forward to designing a collection that represents Steve's timeless style and personality."
