About KYLA
KYLA is a Swedish performance brand that makes palm-cooling tools used between efforts in training. The first product, KYLA Performance, is a pair of cooling handles held during rest periods. They draw heat from the body through the palms, so athletes can hold output across repeated efforts. Designed in Sweden. Made in Germany.
The palm is one of the body's most efficient heat-release zones, and cooling it during rest is an established idea in sport science. The effect sizes are still debated, and we say so openly. The published research we lean on, with the actual results from each study, is collected on our references page. Our own measurements are first-party and early, published with their limitations, and an independent university study is underway.
The short version
- Founded in Stockholm by Claes Mårtén.
- One product, sold as pairs: one handle for each palm. No batteries, no screens, nothing to subscribe to.
- Engineered to work around 14 degrees Celsius, because colder makes the vessels in the palm constrict. Not an ice pack, not cold therapy.
- A limited Founders Edition goes to a group of athletes in summer 2026.
- The first production run ships in September 2026.
