Kydra Team Picks: Our Must Have Kydra Gear

With so many styles and colours to choose from and at such great prices, we thought you'd appreciate a little insider scoop. Afterall, who better to ask for recommendations than the same people who design, style, market and pack all your favourite active gear?

From the team who created your favourite Kydra gear, to you, the #KydraSquad.

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

J: The Resurge Muscle Tee II in Deep Ocean.

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

J: Gym, tennis, day out, work from home... everything!

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

J: Apart from the great fit and colour, the fabric feels premium. I go under the sun and play tennis a lot, this means I am drenched in sweat often. Despite this I’ve not experienced any unsightly sweat stains.

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

DY: Bolt 4” Lined Shorts II in Deep Purple.

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

DY: I generally use them to go for my runs and F45 workouts. They’re short enough to not hinder my workout. 

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

DY: No more underwear washing! The two-in-one functions keep my *censored* from showing each time I do my core work like sit ups and abs. I wear the Bolt Shorts everywear -- from work to play to walking my dogs (@frednderf). They look presentable and the many functional pockets keep my hands free!

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

J: The Kora Pocket Leggings in Black.

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

J: I (designed) and wear them for day outs and work outs.

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

J: The Kora Pocket Leggings fit snugly and provide great support while hugging you in all the right places. When it comes to designing for Kydra, I’ve always tried to incorporate both style and functionality -- we want you to look and feel good. We added in side pockets that are super practical. Hands free, fuss free!

As for colour, my favourite is Black... like my soul. Plus, it’s a great essential that can be paired with everything!

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

C: Sierra Midline Kyro Bra in Merlot & Kyro 7” Pocket Shorts in Black.

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

C: Spin, outdoor hikes, outdoor cycling, home workouts, office attire - I would live in this set if I could. 

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

C: I live by (and breathe in) the Kyro fabric. It’s my absolute favourite fabric of all time and it has never let me down. I recently put this set to the test with a 60km cycle and the 7” pocket shorts hugged my body so nicely it didn’t budge. I love that it didn’t give me any chaffing, blisters or discomfort throughout my ride. In fact, it was really supportive!

I’ve always been a big fan of the OG Sierra Midline Bra due to its flattering neckline and high support level. When the Kyro version of Sierra was released, it quickly made it to the top of my list -- it’s basically everything that I love. That said, this bra is perfect for workouts of all intensities. With the right amount of support and comfort, I can focus on keeping sweat out of my eyes rather than constantly adjusting my gear.

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

Y: The Interval Logo Tee in Black & Bolt 4" Lined Shorts II in Deep Purple.

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

Y: Gym, jogging and even just heading downstairs for food, doing working at cafes or just meeting up with a friend for a meal.

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

Y: I hardly shop for clothes, and when I do, I consider how it would fit into my current wardrobe, and if it can be a workhorse apparel - functional yet fashionable. The thing about Interval Logo Tee is that it's so versatile. I wear it when the weather is scorching hot because it's so lightweight. Also, I never knew what second skin felt like until I tried the Bolt 4" Lined Shorts II. The liner (made out of an ultralight version of the Kyro fabric) is stretchable and cooling. It has made my runs so much more enjoyable.

Shu Hui, Social Media & Community | @shuvasana

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

SH: The Cross Back Tee in Black.

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

SH: I stay really far from most places… (Guess where!). And I wear the Cross Back Tee everywhere. from my (long) train commute to the yoga studio to coffee & errand runs. 

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

SH: I love how breezy and soft it is. It is awesome for the crazy hot and humid weather in Singapore and I especially love the detail at the back. I think the peekaboo back gives the staple tee silhouette that extra oomph. It’s also super versatile! I can easily throw on a pair of jeans (to town) or leggings (to the yoga studio) or shorts (to a quick catch up over coffee). Swap the bottoms out and I’m good to go. We all need a tee like this.

Rachel, Marketing | @girlfromkatong

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

R: The Thalia Bra in Lavender & Kyro 7” Pocket Shorts in Black.

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

R: I teach hot and hatha yoga on the weekends at Yoga Inc. The Thalia Bra and Kyro 7” Pocket Shorts make the perfect pair, in and out of the hot room. I also run outdoors and do HIIT in them. I generally prefer darker colours for easy maintenance.

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

R: I am your basic b*tch, so I’m all for the timeless classic pieces. The Thalia Bra is our first-ever sports bra and it comes in 13 colours. I’ll just say, if it’s not great and if it doesn’t sell well, then we won’t possibly make it in so many colours! It looks simple, but when you put it on, it’s all in the subtle details. When it comes to picking the right sports bra, I always look for seamless straps for comfort and in regular lengths because it’s perfect for all activities. Thalia meets that brief and the cherry on top, its scoop neckline is what we, less well-endowed ones, dream of.

As for biker shorts, look no further. Our pocket shorts come in both 4” and 7” lengths, and they’re made in our signature quick-dry Kyro fabric. If you’re like me who perspire 75% of the day, value freedom in movement and still want to look semi-stylish, then these pocket shorts are the answer to the meaning of (an active) life.

Jimmy, Warehouse Supervisor

K: What’s your most-loved or must-have Kydra gear?

J: Apex Curved Hem Tee in Walnut and Adept 7" Linerless Shorts in Saddle

K: What do you primarily use this for? 

J: Workwear! I’m usually up on my feet and shuffling around the warehouse as I get our customers’ orders packed and ready to ship.

K: Why has this item made it to the top of your must-have list?

J: This combination is ideal for my typical workday as its functionalities help me do my job more efficiently instead of weighing me down! Shifting of boxes are a walk in the park with the Apex Curved Hem Tee – tried and tested.

It's great that I can also go for evening walks with my family after work without having to change out. Product versatility is something always I look out for.
