The Game Is Fast.
Protection Should Keep Up.
Pickleball is quicker and closer than ever. At the kitchen line, reactions happen in seconds. NYRA protects where it matters—so you can stay in the game with confidence.
The ball doesn’t stop at your eyes. Neither should your protection.
Pickleball happens fast, especially at the kitchen. And when a ball comes at your face, it doesn’t only hit one place.
NYRA is designed to protect more of what’s exposed — your eyes, nose, and cheekbones — in one lightweight, open design that still feels easy to wear.
Your eyes need protection, but your view shouldn’t feel blocked. NYRA keeps the area around your eyes protected while leaving your field of vision open and natural.
A fast ball to the nose can be painful and distracting. NYRA extends protection beyond the eye area to help shield one of the most exposed parts of your face.
Not every hit lands at eye level. NYRA reaches lower across the face to help protect the cheekbone area, giving you broader coverage without adding bulk.
Purpose-Built.
Performance-Driven.
NYRA is engineered specifically for pickleball—balancing advanced protection with comfort, clarity, and an unobstructed game.
Designed for all-day wear without weighing you down.
Open-eye design keeps your view clear and natural.
Adjustable elastic strap stays put through every rally.
Protects cheeks and under-eye areas—where impacts happen most.
Engineered for confidence. Designed for style.
Most protective products begin with utility and ask players to accept the appearance. NYRA starts from a different premise: performance and design should arrive together.

Cher Pastore
Cher has spent her career in health and wellness, with a focus on helping people live healthier, more active lives. When getting hit in the face on the pickleball court made her start thinking differently about protection, Nyra felt like a natural extension of something she had cared about throughout her career: helping people protect their health without giving up the things they love.
At Nyra, Cher leads the brand, design direction, partnerships and vision for the company.
Dave Sammuli
Dave has been a racquet-sports player for most of his life. Tennis was his game for years—until he discovered pickleball.
That background gave him a different perspective when the idea for Nyra first came up. While Cher was focused on how protection could look and feel different, Dave became focused on how to make it work.
He leads Nyra’s product development and manufacturing, helping turn the original idea into a product designed for the way pickleball is played today.
Together, they make up Nyra.
