Science for Comfort

Design to a Different Standard

Working men and women have one message for exoskeleton technology, and they’ve had it for years: Comfort should be standard. Wearable technology should be wearable. Exosuits are worn by living, breathing people who have better things to do than hurt.

For HeroWear, comfort is a science. We’ve focused on human factors, like increasing comfort and maximizing ease-of-use.

We’ve also put exoskeletons on hundreds of workers — seen their thrill at assistance and listened to their real frustrations. Now we’ve designed an exosuit that finally combines the features they need most with transformative science — all to help sustain their strength.

The Apex is here — born from rigorous science and ready for all.

• It’s lightweight, weighing just 1.5kg.

• It’s strong, and can take over 23kg of strain off the back.

• It’s passive, without motors or batteries.

• It’s agile, allowing greater variety of motion than any other device.

• It’s modular, able to adjust to different body types. Including females.

The Apex’s design is driven by peer-reviewed science that demonstrates the ability of passive elastic components to significantly reduce back-muscle activity and fatigue rates. All while being worn with comfort. The science tells the story.
