An electric exoskeleton that enables the wearer to lift 90kg for extended periods has been introduced by US firm Sarcos, and is due to be commercially available in 2020. [...]
The Guardian XO Max has a strength amplification of 20 to 1, making 45kg feel like 2.3kg. The full weight of the suit and anything being carried is transferred through the suit’s structure to the ground.

Designing those chest straps to fit the half of the population that have chests isn't rocket science!!!
How do you forget half of us EXIST?
V2 will incorporate a power-lift bra.
He doesn't look a thing like Sigourney Weaver. Next!
cool. I’m buying one and using it to move cars that take up 2 spaces.
the chest strap and leg straps appear to be the same if not close to the gear we use when doing tree work. both when climbing and when using a bucket truck or man lift. adjustments to fit most of the population if not all should be fairly simple and im assuming the rear portion of the arms and legs would serve as a height adjustment to fit the height differences in users.
