I hit urban trails wearing the Hypershell X — is this the future of hiking?

The Hypershell X is a wearable exoskeleton designed to reduce effort and boost power while hiking, walking, or climbing.

The suit's AI MotionEngine began learning my stride almost immediately, adjusting subtly and syncing with my movement.

The entire gadget weighs just under 4 pounds ( 1.8 kg ), but because of its distribution and strap design, it doesn’t weigh down on you like a backpack.

The Hypershell X claims up to 40 percent more leg strength and 30 percent less effort.

The IP54 rating meant I didn’t worry if the trail got a little dusty or damp.

Charging was straightforward: USB-C directly plugs into the pack, so no battery removal is needed.

It operates in temperatures ranging from -4F to 140F.
