If you have trouble getting up and down the stairs, or maybe you experience knee pain, you should try a pair of power pants. Meet the SuitX  Mogo. The Mogo is a powered exoskeleton inside a pair of athletic pants. They're designed for hiking and going up and

down the stairs. You'll get a boost going uphill and support for your knee joints when going downhill. Let's see how they work and then put them to the test. There's a motor in here and sensors up and down, and so the sensors will tell

what position your leg is in. And if it says, "Oh, you're going uphill," it will turn on the motor and it will try and move like this. This is a fulcrum, and there's a similar one at the shank, and this clicks together with the motor. There, uh, sort of

like it would be like this on the body. Okay? And that means that when the motor turns on and it sends power up here, it transitions to this cuff and that helps move the body. I guess all that leaves is for me to go try them on.

So, well, that was easy. Walk through how it's going to be to put it on my right leg, 'cause you already set this one up for me. Yeah, so this is your right leg, and I like to hold it by the motor and then slide down onto that lower attachment

point. You got that? Push down all the way. So, turn on assistance. Hold the power button on that side for two seconds and release. So, one, two, let go. And now it's showing you you're at 3 out of 5, so this is kind of a moderate level of

assistance. I'd actually say we might want to start a bit lower than that. To push the down button there, unlike other exoskeletons that can help you run faster, the MoGo—short for mountain goat—isn't designed for flat ground or

running, and it's not a medical device. MoGo helps your quads and your hamstrings, as well as your knee joints. Right? So if you think about your day-to-day and the things you might do when it would be helpful—uh, stairs are a huge one, going up and going down—uh, any

kind of incline. Biomechanically, they're helping your muscles and your knees, and that's really most helpful at elevation. And so if you're getting this to just like walk a very flat neighborhood or go like run a marathon that's very flat, it's just not going to be very useful. So

to see if I can quantify how much help this is actually giving me, I'm going to measure my average heart rate going all the way up to the top of the stairs while I have the maximum level of assistance on the Skippy MoGo. Then I'm

going to do it all again with zero assistance. So wish me luck! [Music] All right, that wasn't fun. Results are in. Highly unscientific test, but with assistance, my average heart rate was 147 BPM; without, 158. So definitely made it

easier. These even have a sit-to-stand mode, so it's going to help you get in and out of a seat with ease. Oh, that's that's really nice. Skippy estimates you'll get about 3 to 4 hours of battery if you're using

The pants, with elevation gain and on maximum assistance. But you can swap out the battery, and it does have some regeneration when going downhill. But does wearing an exoskeleton like MoGo make your muscles weaker over time? The short answer is: products like MoGo just

don't provide enough assistance for that to happen. It gives you a boost, but it certainly doesn't walk for you. The analogy we like to talk about is ebikes, right? And there's a fair amount of research out there that shows that when people get an ebike, you know, they don't

just bike less or bike the same amount and just do more effort; they actually do more activity over time. The company says the pants can make you feel about 30 lbs lighter and give you a 40% boost. While those metrics are really hard for me to

quantify, I can tell you that it was much easier for me getting up the stairs, and I'm looking forward to doing a lot more testing on the hiking trails. If you want to try a pair of power pants for yourself, demos are available to sign up

for on Skip's website, or you can buy them for $5,000. The first releases have sold out, so the earliest you'll get them is Summer 2026. Thanks for watching.  Beta test if you want to find out more about the Skip MoGo pants, you can do that in
