Salticid Exoskeleton

A fun concept design I did for a wearable thin and flexible exoskeleton light-armor. I based it on the jumpingspiders (Salticidae), thereby the look of the helmet and grappling-hooks of the feet. The extra arms are used for climbing as well as combat. I wanted a bit of a gracious pose, so I made the lower legs and feet behave like digitigrade legs when worn and the powerful artificial muscles of the legs makes it possible to jump far distances both horizontal and vertical.
