The Apex 2 exosuit from HeroWear works like an extra set of back muscles. Elastic bands stretch as the user’s muscles extend during movements, then recoil as their muscles contract, returning energy and assisting with every bending motion.
The bands comfortably move with the user and reduce forces on the spinal muscles and discs each time the wearer bends forward or squats down—all with no motors or batteries.
The Apex 2 is designed to reduce muscle fatigue and strain and take off as much as 100 lbs of back strain with every lift. It’s engineered with abrasion-resistant fabrics, engineering-grade polymers, and aircraft-grade aluminum.
