KYLA in the press.

About KYLA

KYLA is a Swedish performance brand. Its first product, KYLA Performance, is a pair of handles you hold in the rest between sets, intervals and rounds. They take heat out through your palms. What sets it apart is contact, not cold: ten times more cold surface than your palm touches, from a patent-pending internal system. Designed in Sweden. Made in Germany.

Cooling the palms during rest is an established idea in sport science. The effect sizes are still debated, and the published research is collected in Published research. Our own measurements are early, and an independent study of KYLA starts in January 2027.

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.
• Built around heat out, not around cold. More heat out. Every rest.
• A patent-pending internal system. One chill covers a full session: 30 to 35 minutes in your hand, not on the clock, about 90 to 105 minutes of training.
• Seventy elite athletes are training with it before launch. The Founders Edition, 100 pairs, shipped on 1 September 2026 and was never sold.
• The First Run ships 10 November 2026 to the EU and Norway.
