Believe there's Now a
Exo-S-2 is the Newer Version.
Only Released January 1st, 2023.
It’s Geared more Towards having the “Powerband” start when the Humorous is vertical to the ground and up to Parallel.
That is Much More Advantageous for Window Cleaners, both Traditional with Squeegees and Water Fed Pole Work.
PLUS, it has a Head Rest Option to Rest your Head while Looking Up.
That is Amazing and if you are a Serious Water Fed Poler then you Know what I Mean.

I’m only a lightweight water fed poler not a serious one.

if you are a Serious Water Fed Poler then you Know what I Mean.
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

‘A head rest option while looking up’.

That’s remarkable.  Pull up a chair, have a kip, game of cards, sup a pint of Brown Ale all while out cleaning windows.

You could compare it to an arthritic sufferer wearing splints. Initially helps but the more you rely on splints, the weaker the muscles become leaving you weaker. Only way to overcome it is to dismiss the splints, harder initially, but with time muscles strengthen, hence no need for splints.

Same applies with this apparatus. Good technically on paper, but in the real world, useless, serves no long term purpose. If you had to rely on this apparatus to work, it would be time to call it a day in this career and look elsewhere.

Not sure about changing the industry, the only thing it will change for me is my underpants, because I've been laughing so much.  ;D ;D

No good for a domestic splash and dasher, imagine tearing about in and out of the van with that on.

Might have its uses in the commercial world.

On a slightly more serious note, a quick Google says that this type of 'aid' has to be approved by the medical profession in the UK;
I am guessing that no approval has been assigned?

No it’s a gimmick that only geeks would consider buying will never catch on

I Don't Think so.
The Problem is Not that you (Need more Muscles or Not.)
The Problem is that Human Resistance has a Limit not only on how much Weight to Carry,
But for How Long, what type of Load it is, at What Height and what Conditions, Etc.
Let's not Forget that Someone who Practices Physical Exercises does not Mean that they Can do a Better Job.
Than a Construction Man because the Physical Activity or Activities Carried Out are Not the Same.
Remember that More Force and Muscles does Not Mean More Resistance.
And Furthermore, in the Event that these Workers Could Actually do Physical Exercises.
Would they have the Time and the Necessary Strength after a Tiring Day at Work.
To do Even More Stressful and Heavy Exercise for just a Few Muscles?
I Don't Believe it.
In Addition, these Exoskeleton do not Replace Human Muscles or Strength.
They Help and Complement each other (Against Accidents) at work.
(Caused by Excess Weight or very Dangerous Activities in general)
for Workers in Certain Things.
Such as Exhausting and Very Uncomfortable Positions for the Human Body that Would Harm them in the (Long Term.)

Ok Thankyou for everybody's  input.
But if you have anything that you think is not right with this.
Don't ask me.

1. Is that a new funny bone?

2. If this is by Hilti I would take it seriously. If I had a worker on (say) several high rise blocks on one site most of his working days then I would look at it seriously.
It's a game of three halves!
