The Ski Mojo takes pressure off your legs and knees using patented spring recoil technology.
This supplements the power of your leg muscles and reduces the effects of impact significantly reducing pain in legs and knees. No more thigh burn and mid afternoon fatigue.
It is an exoskeleton for the legs worn discreetly and invisibly under your ski trousers. The power to engage the support is easily turned on and off by switches which are easily accessible, even with ski gloves on.
Developed using medical insights Ski Mojo is a device that uses spring recoil technology to take up to a third of the strain off the legs and knees by providing kinetic energy to assist leg extension.
Ski Mojo supplements the power of the leg muscles, this in turn reduces impact, substantially delays muscle fatigue and alleviates leg and knee pain.
Since its launch in 2007 the Ski Mojo has been developed and honed into the latest version. The Ski Mojo works like an exoskeleton for the legs consisting of a lightweight comfortable harness with neoprene knee supports containing powerful springs. Ski Mojo enables the wearer to ski for longer and avoid the leg pain and fatigue they would otherwise experience.
Martin Hannaford, Managing Director of Ski Mojo, said:
“The Ski Mojo is like fuel injection for your skiing. The Ski Mojo is British designed, British engineered and British made and it is loved the world over by those who want to enhance their technique, extend their ski day, reduce impact and eradicate pain. The product is unique and its benefits are life altering.”

Almost certainly, this is what the Ski Mojo is best at. It will benefit you in two main ways:-
Firstly, on our recommended settings, the Ski Mojo will reduce the load your knees have to endure by around 33% thus reducing the stress your knees are subjected to. This will allow you to be more in control of your skis, reducing the risk of further injury and reducing or eliminating any pain or discomfort that you may normally be accustom to.
Secondly, the Ski Mojo is a shock absorbing suspension system. Normally when skiing you have constant “chatter” going through your knees which can cause irritation and subsequent swelling of the knee. The Ski Mojo absorbs this chatter and any compressions.
Falling while wearing the Ski Mojo is usually no different than if you fell without one. As the Ski Mojo runs down the side of your leg it works as side impact protection bars, just like those on a car and will often reduce the affect of any impact. However, under certain circumstances: e.g. if you fall on the end of the upper telescopic rod, it may cause bruising (in the same way as if you fell on your keys if you had them in your pocket. There is a layer of Neoprene between your leg and the rod, which can usually be folded over and “doubled-up”; you may wish to add additional padding to fit between these rods and your legs to further help reduce the risk of bruising.
If you fall or are hit by another skier/boarder from the side then the Ski Mojo will take the majority of the impact rather than your leg. It will spread the impact down the length of the Ski Mojo which has the effect of cushioning any impact you receive. If you were not wearing the Ski Mojo, then any impact would be felt directly on the side of your leg.
We cannot make any claims that the Ski Mojo is impact safety equipment. The above is based on the anecdotal evidence of several Ski Mojo users. The most relevant anecdotal evidence is that we have not heard of a single injury (other than normal bumps and bruises) sustained by a Ski Mojo user other than in circumstances where they fell that the injury would have been worse if they had not been wearing their Ski Mojo.
You can purchase your Ski Mojo via our website and during the Northern Hemisphere ski season we will usually send your purchase to you the same day (for orders placed before midday on a work day) or the next working day, by courier. Outside of the ski season orders are usually shipped within seven days.
You can visit one of our authorised agents and purchase your Ski Mojo from them. A list of our agents can be found on our stockists/agents page.
Almost certainly, as normally when skiing you get constant “chatter” going through your whole body; as the Ski Mojo is a shock absorbing suspension system it reduces the stress and vibration/jolting that your back and hips have to endure.
The Ski Mojo also supports you in a good posture as it mimics an ergonomical (or kneeling) chair, which also takes strain from the back.
Yes – in a positive way! The Ski Mojo will work with your natural articulation when skiing and it will help you to maintain the correct posture , also as it takes less physical effort to ski, it is easier and you can ski for longer, all factors which help you to improve your skiing technique.
The University of Padova, Italy undertook a series of tests to evaluate the Ski Mojo. Read our blog post about how the science proves the Ski Mojo makes you stronger.
