Skip Partners With Arc’teryx, Integrating Exoskeleton Technology To Power Hikes


Meet MO/GO, the world’s first powered pants, designed by Skip and Arc'teryx, that can help you tackle elevation with less exertion, muscle fatigue, and joint discomfort.

Robots will always be more complicated and expensive than alternate solutions, but years of user research told us that people wanted a product that’s hand-free (thus wearable) and actively helps with the movements that folks found most difficult, which are often knee-heavy (stairs, hills, standing out of a chair).” I met Kathryn in Squamish, British Columbia at Arc’teryx Academy, a collection of events that help outdoor devotees learn and grow through workshops, clinics, seminars and social happenings. “We approached Arc’teryx because they have a stellar brand as well as an in in-house innovation team that works on a huge variety of products that center on similar challenges of combining hard and soft goods in a way that anchors to the body comfortably and transmits load—climbing harnesses, ski-boots, backpacks,” says Zealand.
