It reduces leg fatigue and cardio vascular effort by shifting much of your own muscle's effort over to the exo-skeleton. In Normal Mode, you go your same walking speed but you are hardly exerting yourself. It is an absolute Muscle Force multiplier.lovely- but cannot lighten the load .. also add in the weight of the gadget plus the battery.
Does it have a super-mode emergency button for running away from bears?
Victor’s horses may get an early retirement.
Dave, as ever, your contributions provide food for thought. I have merely skimmed, but I know your approach, which is ultra thorough and factually based, and imagine your glee at putting the hare into the field!I might just set up a Pilgrim rental program in St Jean Pied de Port, with the drop-off location being at Roncesvalles.

Yes.Do you still get a compostela?
Brilliant! But how about a step further, pun intended! A smart pack that by satellite can have the gravity be lifted so a heavy pack will now be featherweight?! What say you?I might just set up a Pilgrim rental program in St Jean Pied de Port, with the drop-off location being at Roncesvalles.

My user’s manual states in microscopic fine print you may still qualify for a Compostela if you walk the last 100 km provided you wear it at ALL times in ALL places. If you take it off, it becomes a do over and must return to a 100 km place, any one will do as long as you walk these last 100 in Galicia. Must have 2 stamps per day one of which must be on the credencial and the other on the device.Yes.
To qualify you must walk 1700 km, making continuous progress to Santiago de Compostela on a recognized route. Two stamps per day is still required. The Pilgrim must also be in direct, concious control of the walking at all times, meaning he or she cannot simply set the exoskeleton on 'automatic' and let it walk for you while you taxi to the next lodging for the night.
Hmmm. . wear all the time.....My user’s manual states in microscopic fine print you may still qualify for a Compostela if you walk the last 100 km provided you wear it at ALL times in ALL places.

I have checked into this. I would have ordered one but discovered that the max waist size is 40 inches. I am still somewhat above that.
I did argue that overweight folks like me could be a better target market, especially with leg issues. But they stuck to their guns.
Good question. Perhaps they should undergo a security inspection to certify on-board safety?Can i take that as carry-on?
You'd be required to have a helmet."I might just set up a Pilgrim rental program in St Jean Pied de Port, with the drop-off location being at Roncesvalles."
Can I rent this kit as an upgrade?
If you get a Compostela for pedal assist e-bikes (which we are informed that you do), the precedent is set that you would. Now, if it didn't multiply the force of your legs but replaced it, that might be different.Do you still get a compostela?
I put forward that the exoskeleton be worn through TSSA, remove to go through scanning and put back on to board. The only difference between any other assist and the exoskeleton is you must wear it.Good question. Perhaps they should undergo a security inspection to certify on-board safety?
If properly tucked into a backpack, they may be compact enough to fit into the bag-sizing frame thingy which the airline check-in people use to make sure carry-on luggage is within the required dimensions.
Does it come with a rocket launcher on the back, and flamethrowers on the arms ?"I might just set up a Pilgrim rental program in St Jean Pied de Port, with the drop-off location being at Roncesvalles."
