Field-tested on Ben Nevis · Designed & built in the UK

Engineered for the mountain.
Ready for the mission.

Wearable support and survival equipment, proven in the field with mountain rescue in mind and built for anyone who carries load where failure isn't an option.

Who we build for

One problem. Carry the load over hostile ground, for hours.

A rescue team member, an expedition leader and a soldier on patrol face the same physics. We design for that shared requirement, test it on the hill first, and build it to a standard that carries across.

Search & Rescue

Carry the stretcher, the kit and the casualty, not the fatigue. Support that lets volunteers stay effective on long call-outs and get home uninjured.

Hikers & Expeditions

Go further with a heavy pack and recover faster afterwards. Lumbar support and field-ready tools for long days on the mountain.

Defence & Tactical

The same technology, harder missions. Load carriage and posture support for extended operations, built on designs proven in the mountains first.

Project NORA

Never Out of Resources Available

A passive lumbar support exoskeleton for people who carry heavy loads over rough ground. No batteries to run flat and nothing to recharge on the hill. It has already been taken to the summit of Ben Nevis, and every scuff it picked up is feeding the next design.

Passive: no power, no electronics to fail in the wet
Field-tested for ~5 hours continuous wear
Fitted to the wearer with our Sensorless System

Viking Survival Tools

Rugged, field-ready tools designed with rescue teams and built to the same standard as our exoskeletons. [FIRST PRODUCT LINE TBC] Be first to test them.

Fitting technology

Sensorless System

Camera-based body measurement following ASTM D13 standards, so every exoskeleton is designed and fitted to the person wearing it. No sensors strapped on, no lab visit needed.

How fitting works →

Dual-use by design

Proven on the mountain. Built to standard.

Every design is field-tested in mountain conditions first, then engineered to recognised exoskeleton standards. That's why the same technology carries over to defence, industry and healthcare without starting again.
