Hypershell X Leg Exoskeleton

So far, so good. I really enjoyed the way it performed so far. I still have to put it to the ultimate test. I bought it to see how it will perform while I work. I do a lot of paving work and sometimes on uneven surfaces so I think it will really help me. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks 😊

The machine is well made but it has some quirks. It puts my spine in slight lordosis which I must compensate by tucking my pelvis when I walk. It feels heavy on me because I am small. I think they are more designed for men. That said, it does help me climb hills which is the reason I bought it. The exoskeleton store manager is very kind and helpful. He spent a great deal of time on the phone setting up the bluetooth which was not intuitive. If you get the shoulder strap, know that is often falls off the frame due to the angle of the clip. Due to my short height, I had to have it altered costing me another 30 dollars on top of over 60 dollars for the strap. They also reversed the clip direction. I had this done at a shoe repair shop. I had surgery which left my leg very weak and I wanted to have an option on a trip involving walking up hills. I will likely give it to my uncle who is up in years and lives to golf.

Great system but button system is tricky...

So I only gave it 4 stars because I find the button pushing to turn it on, change settings, etc. is overly complicated especially if you don't have your phone app with you. Other than that, I'm loving it! I've done quite a few hikes with it and when people ask about it, I tell them it is like someone is holding my hand and gently pulling me up the hill. It did take some time, along with trial and error, to find the right width to get it sized right. They started me out at a 6 on each side and it turns out I do best with 2.5. Once I got that adjusted, they have become much more comfortable to use with me hardly noticing it on other than the assist. It has been nice to have the assistance as I've needed it after a hip replacement that just hasn't lived up to expectations. All in all, it has been worth the investment and I am loving having more confidence to go out on hikes and have the endurance I need to make it to the end. As for the buttons, I'm sure that will become more intuitive as I get more familiar with the device. I would highly recommend it to anyone that just needs a bit more push to get to the top! PS: I wish they would send out (or have available on the website) a little cheat sheet on how to change all the buttons so I could store it in my photos for easy reference...
