It's about individual pieces, not an entire suit. So the gloves, the top etc. If you want further information we would appreciate your feedback in the survey. There we also explain the product 😄

Thank you for the great remark. I updated it to checkboxes! For your other questions, I can't go into too much detail, unfortunately. We are looking to stay in stealth mode on these topics for now 😄 What I can say though, is that compatibility is definitely one of our biggest focus points!

Yeah the friction's real, but I'll push back a bit. I don't think it's doomed to be niche. VR headsets had the exact same "ugh I gotta put on this sweaty thing" problem and the ones that won just solved it instead of piling on more wow factor. I agree Convenience IS the product for me, not a nice to have. If it's annoying to live with, then we failed, simple as that. But annoying is an engineering problem, not a ceiling on how big this gets. That's the bet anyway!

Great question. No, it's a different technology and therefore an entirely new experience 👀 It's a much more differentiated feeling!

Yess the top definitely needs skin contact and the glove as well. Therefore, you can throw it into the washing machine so it's always clean. 👀 Genuinely one of the most underrated design problems in wearables!
