Their pitch expressly claims the device isn’t AT… But it is to help more people access the outdoors, which I think counts to an extent.

Not to shit on someone’s plate here, but won’t that weaken people’s legs?
I get it for extreme hikes, but otherwise, isn’t it better to get the exercise?
I met a medically retired marine back when I was in school that changed my view on this. His superior insisted on his group walking as much as possible with their packs, but instead of it just being extra exercise he wound up having to get an amputation after all of the stress on his legs lead to an issue with the arteries or veins. At a certain point, extra punishment isn’t beneficial, and a mechanism to manage it would be useful.
As I mentioned before. It seems useful for extreme hikes. Not for normal ones.
Punishment like excessive training never is beneficial. It kills people.
++ this thing wouldn’t have helped. Excessive standing, walking or not will damage your legs. Moving can help tho
