I try the new Hypershell X to hike one of the most demanding routes in the Grand Canyon. This video is sponsored by Hypershell. Check out the Hypershell X: https://fas.tl/e43e7936 Hiking Rim to Rim is a serious endeavor that's considered a classic route in the hiking and backpacking community. With the most common route closed, I try an even more challenging route, hiking down New Hance and out the Grandview trail. It's a monster effort and should only be tried by experienced Grand Canyon and/or desert hikers. I've been wanting to test this new exoskeleton technology that supposedly assists hikers to go farther and faster. I just had to get my hands on a set and see what they can really do. A note on the battery life for the exoskeleton, this challenging route should be manageable with 3 batteries. If the hiking route is steep like the Grand Canyon, the battery will drain faster than on more mild terrain. The Hypershell X MotionEngine detects user's movements and will automatically give you more assistance on uphills. Trying a route of this nature should only be attempted by people fit enough to accomplish this without the use of the exoskeleton.
