The SE Ultra jersey and pants are perforated and have stretch panels throughout. Leather lines the inner knees of the pants, which have a ratcheting closure designed to minimize bunching. The lightweight Air gloves have single-layer palms, and the matching SE Composite helmet includes Mips Integra for brain and head protection. Prices for each item are $549 for the helmet, $92 for the jersey, $225 for the pants and $36 for the gloves. The new LE A1 colorway is also available for the Youth GP Pro kit.
Prior to A1, TLD released this video with Justin Barcia and the LE A1 collection.

Here is more information about each item from TLD:
SE5 Composite Helmet
The SE5 Composite helmet is constructed using today’s most optimal helmet protection features. This helmet was designed for the rider looking for comfort and ultimate protection. It has Mips Integra, which is one of the lightest and slimmest systems and most integrated by Mips. It helps reduce rotational forces to the head from certain angled impacts. The helmet has a large-intake front mouthpiece with side-gill intake louvers that for airflow into the helmet. EPP at the collarbone area provides a padded area in case of impact to the upper shoulder and collarbone area.
Dual-density EPS lines the shell for projection in both high- and low-speed impacts. The cheekpads are quick-release so first responders can remove them, and smart-shear plastic screws are used for easy breakaway of the peak on impact.
SE Ultra Jersey
The SE Ultra jerseys offer TLD’s precision fit and has laser-perforated ventilation for increased cooling airflow. The SE Ultra jersey’s 4-way TLD Ultra Mesh stretch fabric allows unrestricted movement. There are mesh underarm panels to further support venting and evaporation of moisture. A drop-tail hem provides increased rear coverage, and the jersey uses welded seams.
SE Ultra Pants
The SE Ultra Factory pants use TLD’s Ultra Tech 4-way stretch fabric for unrestricted mobility. Inner leather knee panels offer durability when on the bike. When things heat up, the lightweight fabric and the laser perforated holes allow for significant ventilation.
Air Gloves
The Air gloves features a compression-molded cuff and a single-layer palm with laser perforated holes for breathability. Micro-mesh is used all over for added ventilation. Silicon print on finger offers a grippy spot for brake lever grip.
