VIGX Ant-H1 Pro – Walking-Assist Exoskeleton

That's the manufacturer's stated positioning: a dual-actuator hip exoskeleton (one actuator per hip), designed for regular everyday use while walking and climbing rather than occasional sport-only use. Its two modes — assistance for walking and hiking, resistance/damping for indoor training — aim to cover both daily commuting and targeted home workouts. At roughly 2.3 kg with a suspension belt claimed for a stable fit, VIGX presents it as comfortable enough for extended wear, though no maximum recommended daily wear time is specified.

The manufacturer states up to 12,000 steps per charge, with a compact battery of roughly 250 g that swaps in 3 seconds via a magnetic connection — a system designed to let you carry a spare battery rather than wait for a full recharge. As a rough guide, 12,000 steps is about 8 to 9 km depending on stride, enough for a standard daily outing but potentially requiring a spare battery for a longer day or multiple outings. Full charging time isn't specified by VIGX; we'd recommend checking this with the manufacturer if battery life is decisive for your use.

The manufacturer states waterproof and dustproof protection designed for outdoor use, without publishing a standardized ingress-protection (IP) rating on the public materials we reviewed. This absence of a rated figure doesn't necessarily mean the product is weak in this area, but it does mean you can't objectively compare its water and dust resistance against other models that do publish an IP54, IP65 or equivalent rating. If you plan regular use in rain or dusty conditions (job sites, dry trails), ask VIGX for this detail directly before buying.

Yes, a mobile app accompanies the VIGX Ant-H1 Pro and, according to the manufacturer, lets you personalize assistance settings and locate the device remotely — useful in case of loss or theft, and also for adjusting the assistance level without physically handling the device. VIGX doesn't specify whether the app is available on both iOS and Android, or whether a constant Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection is required to use it; these practical details are worth checking before buying if using it without a nearby smartphone matters to you.

Like the rest of the VIGX range, prices are listed in US dollars by the manufacturer — the VIGX Ant-H1 Pro is currently offered at $1,999.99 on sale ($2,399 at full price) — with the euro conversion shown on our page being an estimate at the current exchange rate. Shipping originates from Shenzhen, China, with a stated delivery time of 12 to 18 business days to the EU, not counting any customs delays. Customs duties and import VAT may be added to the amount charged on delivery: budget for this margin before confirming your order.
