Let the exosuit do the uphill work. Take it easy on the way down.
Best mode for slopes
| Terrain | Recommended mode | LED |
| Uphill (mild) | Ease or ACC | 🟢 or 🔵 |
| Flat trail sections | ACC | 🔵 Blue |
| Downhill (mild) | Ease (slowly) | 🟢 Green |
Ease mode reduces leg effort uphill – exactly what you want.
Train mode not recommended – hiking is already a workout.
Hiking tips
| Tip | Why |
| Shorten your stride on uphills | Device assists more smoothly |
| Slow down on downhills | Exosuit helps less here – your legs do more work |
| Use trekking poles if available | Extra stability on uneven ground |
| Take breaks every 15–20 minutes | Pause the device (tap power button) |
Watch out for
| Hazard | What to do |
| Loose gravel or mud | Slow down. Use Ease mode. |
| Steep sections (over 15°) | Consider turning around – know your limit |
| Uneven roots or rocks | Lift feet higher than normal |
The exosuit does not improve balance. Watch your footing.
