AI jeans? It's happening after Arc'teryx, a technical outerwear brand, and Skip, a wearable robotics startup, combined creative efforts to fashion exoskeleton hiking pants powered by AI.
The recent launch of MO/GO, short for 'Mountain Goat,' is being hailed as the world's first pair of battery-powered hiking pants, Its design uses an exoskeleton attached to the wearer's legs via a special pair of Arc'teryx Gamma pants. The product is scheduled to ship in late 2025 for - grab your wallet - $5,000.
Spun out of Google X as an independent company in 2023, Skip creates 'movewear,' clothing that supports those with mobility challenges such as age, fatigue or injury.
