Pants That Go Hiking For You

Is it still “hiking” if your pants do all the work? A company called “Skip” is taking pre-orders for new high-tech pants that make hiking easier. A built-in exoskeleton gives you 40% more leg power that helps you push off while going uphill, then they lighten the load and protect your knees while coming back down. They’re called “MO/GO” pants (short for “mountain goat”), but they’re not cheap, at $5,000 a pair. Click HERE for a link where you can preorder a pair . . . or two.
