Arc’teryx’s MO/GO Electric-Powered Trousers | Review

You’ve heard of e-bikes. Not it’s time for e-pants! Dan demoed a prototype of the MO/GO power pants on the show floor at CES 2025. A collaboration between the outerwear brand Arc’teryx and Google Spinoff, Skip, these robot-like hiking pants feature two ultralight motors and a series of electric joints that attach to either leg. They’re secured in place by two sets of adjustable loops hidden under the fabric of the pants. With no mountain to climb in the Nevada desert, Dan settled for a picturesque staircase leading to the expo hall basement, instead. Despite a noteworthy learning curve, these futuristic, Inspector Gadget-approved pants are loads of fun; you can even dance in them! Plus, with the ability to offset up to 30 pounds of carried weight, improve stamina over long distances and increase mobility, particularly when going up and down inclines, they’re also super practical.
