How do you get dressed and use the toilet with a ski exoskeleton?
The answer in detail
A ski exoskeleton is worn under your outfit, which raises two practical questions: how to get dressed with it, and how to handle a toilet break. The Ski-Mojo manufacturer answers both in its FAQ. Once the first setup is done, putting it on takes one to two minutes while dressing.
According to the manufacturer, half of users wear it completely invisibly under their ski trousers. For the toilet, it describes a simple procedure: undo the harness at the front clip and disconnect the upper rods from the harness. The operation would take no more than 15 seconds.
