Title: Powered exoskeleton hiking pants from Arc’teryx and Skip boost leg strength by 40%, reduce 30 lbs in perceived weight
Post by: Redaktion on July 30, 2024, 18:27:43
Outdoor gear maker Arc-teryx and startup Skip have unveiled the MO/GO exoskeleton trousers, which use powerful motors and carbon fibre braces to boost leg strength while hiking on inclined terrain or climbing stairs, relieving up to 30 lbs (13.5 kg) of weight. Weighing just 7 lbs, MO/GO runs for over 3 hours or 5-6 miles. Although still in final development, it can be pre-ordered now and will cost $5000 upon launch.

Some location in Vancouver
Rocky Mountain National Park in Denver
Yosemite, Mount Diablo, Mount Tamalpais, Mission Peak, Mount St. Helena, Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Lake Tahoe, Mt. Whitney, San Jacinto Mountains, or the Santa Monica Mountains in California
Zion National Park in Utah

Plus other locations later. Check the link in the article.

So they want you to pay $80 to try something they sell for $4500.
Red flag.

You can get something less fancy but almost as good for $10. You tie them around your knee and they have springs in them so it reduces the stress on your knees
