As much as we try to follow a healthy lifestyle, age eventually catches up. Although it might take longer for physically fit individuals to feel the effects, it doesn’t make us immune. Thankfully, technology comes to our aid by way of motorized augmentation. Robotic implants may still be far off, but the new X Ultra S does come close.

We’ve featured two models from Hypershell so far, and this latest entry sets a lofty threshold over its predecessors. This SKU is positioned as the class-leading option for people who want to get the most out of their outdoor expeditions. Specifically, the ones whose spirits refuse to surrender when there’s a challenge.

Wearable exoskeletons are relatively new products, but are by no means still in the experimental phase. Manufacturers have already gathered heaps of data and engineered solutions to address the shortcomings of the older generation units. For instance, the previous flagship boasted 800W of power assistance. The X Ultra S, on the other hand, packs a whopping 1000W.

Strap these bad boys on, and turn even the most difficult trails into a cakewalk. Even athletes who are on top of their game can benefit from the support and comfort it brings to every adventure. With the help of HyperIntuition technology and 12 adaptive modes, each stride, climb, and descent feels natural.

Furthermore, this leading-edge device promises a significant reduction in physical exertion by a factor of 39%. In Eco mode, a full charge of its battery lasts up to 19 miles. The X Ultra S bundles a spare, so it’s practically double that on a single trek. Finally, Hypershell points out that it’s the “first TÜV Rheinland-verified end-to-end integrated exoskeleton.”
