Skip MO/GO powered knee-assist hiking trousers (with Arc'teryx)
The Skip MO/GO powered hiking trousers, made with Arc'teryx, combine outdoor trousers with detachable powered knee modules. The modules add assistance when climbing and support the knees on the way down. Press coverage puts the hardware at under 2 lb per leg and reported a USD 5,000 MSRP in 2024, which we quote as a guide price. Skip's own site calls the category movewear and gives no technical figures.

Who the Skip MO/GO suits
MO/GO is aimed at people whose hiking has been cut back by age, fatigue or an old injury and who want powered knee help on hills. It is an outdoor product; if you have a medical knee condition, ask a clinician before relying on it.
This kind of device is prescribed and fitted by a clinician. An enquiry starts that conversation. It is not a purchase.
