Outfitter Arc’teryx Equipment and Skip, a spinoff of Google’s X Labs, have teamed up to create Mo/Go (short for mountain goat), comfortable hiking pants that feature lightweight electric motors at the knees, which are attached to carbon fiber structures that snap into the four adjustable carbon fiber cuffs inside the pants.. (The mechanics can be removed for washing.) According to Skip, the battery-powered exoskeleton gives the wearer a 40% boost to the leg muscles on inclines and can make them feel up to 30 pounds lighter. Cameron Stuart, manager of research and engineering – advanced concepts at Arc’teryx, says it’s been “emotional” seeing early users have a “snap realization of, like, ‘Oh my God, this could change my life.’” The pants are available for preorder and begin shipping next year. **Buy Now**: MO/GO™ Starter Pack on [Skip](https://fave.co/3NDDgUP) These are independent reviews of the products mentioned, but TIME receives a commission when purchases are made through affiliate links at no additional cost to the purchaser. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094544/arcteryx-and-skip-mo-go/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094544/arcteryx-and-skip-mo-go/"},"headline":"Arc'teryx and Skip MO/GO: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024","datePublished":"2024-10-30T11:16:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T11:54:25.425Z","description":"Find out why Arc'teryx and Skip MO/GO is one of the best inventions of 2024","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094544/arcteryx-and-skip-mo-go/","keywords":["Tech","E-Commerce","list","franchise","Magazine","best inventions"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7462d1d608fbec1/698a8a08b21a9c361a50f27c/Arc-teryx-and-Skip-MO-GO-Best-Inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7462d1d608fbec1/698a8a08b21a9c361a50f27c/Arc-teryx-and-Skip-MO-GO-Best-Inventions.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2024/7094544/arcteryx-and-skip-mo-go/","name":"Arc'teryx and Skip MO/GO: the 200 Best Inventions of 2024"}}]}] ```
