Setting the Standard: Hypershell Becomes the First SGS-Certified Exoskeleton
September 7, 2025 marked a turning point for wearable robotics. Hypershell X Ultra became the world's first outdoor exoskeleton to earn full SGS certification. Not because we needed another badge, but because adventurers deserve proof their gear actually works.
Why We Walked Into the Lab
The consumer exoskeleton industry has grown fast, but something crucial was missing: standardized testing that means something real. Claims fly around without backing. Users get left wondering what's actually true.
We wanted data that meant something. Our engineers spent a month at SGS laboratories, testing scenarios that replicated actual field conditions. This means spending weekdays, weekends, late nights, simulating every edge case.
Because of our commitment to technical rigor, SGS appreciated our approach and invited discussions about co-authoring research on testing standards for wearable robotics.
What the Numbers Actually Mean
We tested two scenarios that reflect how people use Hypershell exoskeletons: walking uphill and cycling.
Here's what happened:
Ascending: Oxygen consumption dropped 20.47%, heart rate fell 21.6%
Cycling: Oxygen consumption dropped 39.2%, heart rate fell 42.68%

[2] Cycling
Translation: Hills feel more like flat ground. Cycling becomes much less strenuous over longer distances. One test participant rode with completely relaxed breathing, saying with surprise: "Wearing this feels like someone's pedaling for me."
Hypershell X Ultra reduces your body's metabolic load (the burn, the fatigue you feel) and lightens muscle effort (the weight you move with your body). Your heart stays steady, your muscles get recovery time, and you build endurance instead of burning it. This means less turning back and more pushing forward.
Beyond Certification
Getting SGS certified feels like a big step forward for us and for the industry, but it's just our starting point. We're building technology that makes every step, ride, and adventure smoother.
The data proves what our users already know: Hypershell doesn't just assist movement—it transforms what's possible.
