Why you can trust Tom’s Hardware Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

Makes Tackling Hard Hikes Almost Too Easy

The hiking trail should be a serene place. Amid the sounds of water running tickling down a nearby stream and the rushing wind through the trees above, there comes a whirring noise. It’s me. I am the disturbance. Me and my Hypershell Pro X exoskeleton are buzzing down the mud-strewn path like a machine on a warpath.
