Experiencing the extraordinariness of donning a robotic appendage on my lower limbs felt preposterous, until I significantly intensified the aid level.

2025: The Year of the Exoskeletons, Unveiled

Embrace the future with the Hypershell Pro X, a game-changer in the world of AI-powered outdoor tech! Ditching the clunky past, this mid-range marvel from Hypershell proves that exoskeletons have come a long way since 2022.

Sure, I'd raised an eyebrow when Hypershell reached out, echoes of pricey Arc'teryx MO/GO pants lingering in my mind. But the Hypershell Pro X, priced at $1,199, left me pleasantly surprised. Recognizing 10 exercises on its own (and adjusting the boost accordingly), it doesn't hold back, hitting a top speed of 12.4 mph (20 km/h)—speed demons rejoice!

Time for a brisk walk in the hills, artificial leg supports in tow. The Hypershell Pro X delivered space-age support, especially on those uphill sections. Expensive? Absolutely. But it's one exciting outdoor gadget launch in 2025, that's for certain!

Design and Build Quality

No surprises here: the Hypershell Pro X is built to impress, with a sleek aluminium alloy and stainless steel frame that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie.1 The outer layer is trimmed with carbon-fibre reinforced polymer. The adjustable hip section includes motor-equipped leg levers, ending in hinged leg sections[1].

The unit is compact and foldable, measuring only 430 x 260 x 125mm when not in use[1]. It comes with a carry case for easy transportation and storage[1].

The cushioned hip and thigh straps ensure optimum comfort during extended use[1]. The padding around the hips, which take on the most pressure, is especially luxurious[1]. The battery is tucked neatly at the back, adding barely any bulk to the device[1].

User Interface and the Hypershell+ App

The simplistic user interface on the exoskeleton itself is a breath of fresh air, making it easy even for tech novices to operate[1]. However, remember to press that single button appropriately to change modes and boost settings.

The Hypershell+ app offers all the crucial information, such as battery life, speed, and active exercise modes[1]. It allows for customization of modes, exercise recognition settings, and firmware updates, albeit only via wearing the exoskeleton[1].

Performance and Comfort

Weighing in at just under two kilos, the Hypershell Pro X is lightweight enough to carry comfortably[1]. With 10 intelligent exercise recognition modes and four assist modes (Eco, Hyper, Transparent, and Fitness)[1], it provides support for various outdoor activities while minimizing strain on your body.

However, battery life can be a limiting factor during longer expeditions, and rotating the batteries one at a time can be a hassle, especially without the optional charging hub[1]. Despite these minor inconveniences, the Hypershell Pro X stands out as an exciting entry in the world of exoskeletons.

Get ready to elevate your outdoor experiences with the Hypershell Pro X! It may not be essential, but this bionic take on hiking and running is undeniably cool!
