Arc’teryx Mo/Go

29 July 2024

This feels like an April’s Fool’s Joke, but I guess it’s real: Arc’teryx Mo/Go are a $5,000 pair of hiking pants with built-in exoskeleton. Yes, you read that right, the price is insane, the thing is a mobility device, according to the Verge:

Marketed as a mobility device that can help hikers extend their range instead of a medical device that can assist those with mobility issues (you can think of them as an e-bike but for walking), Skip claims the MO/GO pants can make the wearer feel up to 30 pounds lighter.

I’m all for making the outdoors more accessible, so I probably shouldn’t make fun of this ‘thing’, but it just sort of feels a bit extra. Or maybe I should say “move over carbon-plated super shoe, here comes the exoskeleton for train runners”?
