Againer Ski
Latvian startup by SIA Skippi making passive knee-support exoskeletons for alpine skiers using adjustable gas springs to reduce leg muscle fatigue.
Againer Ski is a consumer sports-wearable brand operated by SIA Skippi (registration number 42403025086), a Latvian company based at Ezermalas iela 49-4, Riga, LV-1014, Latvia. The company develops and markets the AGAINER exoskeleton, one of the first commercial exoskeletons designed specifically for alpine skiing.
The AGAINER is a passive lower-extremity support device that attaches to the user's ski boots and provides an extension moment at the knee joint, thereby reducing quadriceps muscle activation and fatigue during sustained downhill skiing postures. The mechanism uses an adjustable gas spring — tunable via a handheld pressure pump — to deliver variable assistance levels. The device features a lightweight plastic shell and connectors that integrate with standard ski boot bindings. The full AGAINER set includes left and right leg units, a pressure pump, boot connectors, adjustment tools, rubber grip rings, and a carry bag.
The product is intended for recreational alpine skiers and snowboarders looking to extend on-slope endurance or reduce knee and back strain. It is explicitly not designed for racing or extreme alpine skiing. Againer Ski has appeared in the Exoskeleton Report directory and has garnered customer reviews on platforms such as Trustpilot, indicating active commercial sales.
The company offers a 15-day test rental program for customers who wish to trial the product before purchasing, a notable differentiator in the sports-exoskeleton market. Againer Ski distributes internationally through ski specialty retailers such as SkiWebShop and Sporthuette, and maintains customer support via [email protected]. The brand has a Facebook presence under AGAINER Riga.
Academic research has validated elements of the underlying biomechanical concept: a 2019 EMBC paper documented that a passive knee exoskeleton reduces quadriceps muscle activation during downhill skiing. Againer Ski represents a niche but growing category of recreational performance wearables at the intersection of sports and assistive exoskeleton technology.
