A new category of lightweight leisure exoskeletons has emerged, with hikers as their first target audience.

The Hypershell Pro X is powered by two hip-mounted motors, each of which lift your legs with up to 32 Newton -meters of torque.

The best way to demonstrate the power of an exoskeleton is to turn it off.

Skip's MO/GO pants snap robotic knees onto the outside of a pair of pants, which house hidden carbon fiber cuffs that cinch down on your upper and lower legs.

The design actually supports your knees, offers up to 42 Newton -meters of torque, and can slowly regenerate its own battery as you descend hills.

After repeatedly walking up a staircase, I'm almost certain I'd prefer it to the Hypershell for any actual climbing.
