The present disclosure relates to an exoskeleton system to be worn by a user. The system includes a load carriage arrangement configured to carry an applied load. The load carriage arrangement includes a frame, for example a frame for a backpack, and at least one non-rigid member. The at least one-non rigid member is arranged to transfer at least a first part of the applied load carried by the load carriage arrangement to the ground bypassing the user's musculoskeletal system. The system may further include a load sharing arrangement configured to transfer a second part of the applied load to the user's musculoskeletal system.

Exoskeleton system for load carrying

A viewing device () includes a body enclosing a first reflective surface or mirror (), second reflective surface or mirror () and a mechanism for securing the body to a conventional sighting device or telescope () on a firearm. First mirror () is adapted to direct an incoming light beam () onto second mirror () so that an outgoing light beam () is angled relative to the incoming light beam (). In use, viewing device () can be releasably attached to rear end () of telescope () and allows a user () to remain partially hidden behind obstacle () whilst viewing through sighting device () and using the firearm. The angular offset of respective light beams () is between 35&#xb0; and 60&#xb0;.
