I would rather have a tried and true wraptor than one of these prototypes. any day.
Are exoskeletons a joke or the real deal?

That would be fun to try out.

It looks like it leverages your lower back.

It would be cool if it helped on spurs. Not sure if it has that range of motion though.

I still think it doesn't work as well as advertised. Too much moving stuff on relatively flimsy anchors. It would be interesting to try just for the lulz, but it doesn't look like something I could depend on for real work.

Looks like the next upcoming gizmo. If it actually works... cool. Otherwise just a gimmick.

It adds some power to the thighs and the butt's muscles, but the rest of the body has to sustain the overload, like the knees, hips, ankles, back, neck...
That will not help in the old age.

Makes sense. A near full body suit would be the only real solution. Kinda like the one Ripley used in Aliens to kill the queen. That thing would be badass to be in. Imagine a groundie in that thing. No more minis.

I didn’t see a price tag in the ad. Wonder if it’s over 1K?

I bet you could quit wondering. No way that's less than $1k.

Probably a few thousand at this point. No real way to get economy of scale on something like that. At least not in the near future.

Anyways, this product looks like trash. Gimme the Wraptor. They probably spent more on marketing than on the product.

I've worked on this for the last 5/6 years and we've seen 8-12% reduction in effort with good feedback from soldiers in the field.

I live approximately 15 minutes from APG. Are you local?

A little farther than 15 minutes; I live just outside Beantown.
