BRAND features

Founded in 1924 by Anton Kässle in Hohenems, Austria, the company was founded by Anton Kässle. With unconventional thinking, a quest for innovation, a commitment to technology, a love of detail, and an unwavering pioneering spirit, Kässle aimed to exceed skiers' expectations. He particularly focused on honing his racing ski manufacturing techniques, and since 1960 has grown into a leading ski brand, winning over 130 medals at the Olympic and World Championships in alpine skiing

Since then, through acquisitions, brand demise, and revivals, the brand has expanded its product categories and made a full comeback to the international market. Since its full comeback in 2018, the brand's product categories have expanded significantly in its home country of Austria, now offering racing, piste, all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, Nordic, and ski boots. The boots, made in Italy, feature the brand's color, Kesslemint, and are made from a tenacious material called K-Blend, which is unaffected by temperature

In the 2022-2023 season, KESLE has already won the Alpine World Cup (Women's Downhill), and in ski cross, moguls, aerials, and cross country, more and more riders are regularly on the World Cup podium, drawing increasing attention from around the world. KESLE's freeride models (ZX and FX) are particularly popular in North America
