Smart textile company Kymira Sport has announced new partnerships with both the Irish Association of Snowsports Instructors (IASI) and Pinnacle Performance.

Designed to strengthen Kymira's position as a market leader for performance and recovery-enhancing sportswear, the four-year partnership with IASI will see Kymira offering members its products, including its winter thermal collection, at a discounted rate. While the partnership with Pinnacle Performance, a gym based in Southampton, will receive discounts on exercise apparel to aid their workouts and improve recovery time.

Derek Tate from IASI said: "It can get tough on the slopes, so we need hard-working thermal kit to keep our members and instructors warm and Kymira Sport can do that."

Andy McGhee, from Pinnacle Performance, said: "We pride ourselves on all aspects of health and fitness and know that the recovery properties of the Kymira kit will really benefit our customers after a good session at the gym."

Tim Brownstone, CEO and founder of Kymira said: "All of us at Kymira are very excited by the partnership deals and hope that the ski instructors and gym members can benefit from the garments we have to offer them."

"We want to work closely with IASI and Pinnacle Performance moving forward and think this is a great opportunity to bring our products to those who will get the most out of the technology," he added.
