Hope the getup is EMP proofed and batteries aren’t too tough to change out.

Doesn't mean a thing if you don't have the men to wear them.

Why am I thinking of upside down turtles?
Power loss for whatever reason, Chinese batteries, artillery/RPG/grenade/mine shock wave loosens wires or causes short, how rapidly can one escape from the exo-skeleton. Seems like one carries potential shrapnel on one’s own body.
One size fits all? “Sorry troop, we only have mediums left.”
How much GI field maintenace is necessary under battlefield conditions, extreme weather, river crossings, etc?
What’s scheduled maintenance interval?
Will it microwave MREs? How noisy is it? MTBF for joints under stressed conditions.
Can it stream direct to youtube?

" If you load a mud foot down with a lot of gadgets that he has to watch, somebody a lot more simply equipped—say with a stone ax—will sneak up and bash his head in while he is trying to read a vernier. "
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.
