MO /GO is a hybrid soft/rigid exoskeleton integrated into a pair of rugged-looking outdoor pants.

Its knee-joint motors provide assistance to your quads and hamstrings during up and downhill walks or hikes, significantly reducing muscle fatigue and joint discomfort.

At launch, a pair will set you back $ 4,500 , and the price doesn't come cheap.

Skip plans to offer rentals for around $80 a day in popular hiking spots like the Grand Canyon .

It's worth noting that cheaper alternatives are available from Chinese manufacturers.

While Skip focuses on knee-joint assistance for activities like climbing stairs and inclines, Chinese manufacturers like Dnsys provide more affordable alternatives.
