“THE STICKIEST OF THEM ALL”

®

®

A measurable advantage

FRICTION

There are two kinds of friction – breakaway and sliding. Our main concern is breakaway, because once you begin sliding you’re toast. We use an Instron 5543 (see fig.1a) to measure the peak friction force before breakaway. Rubber samples are cleaned thoroughly using two different solvents, placed in an Espec environmental test fig.1a chamber, and brought to the temperature the test will run at.

Samples are then placed under the friction test head with appropriate test weights on a rolling table (see fig.1b).

The table/ rubber sample is then pulled through a pulley by the Instron. Each test is generally done 5 times at each temperature. High and low results are discarded and the middle three are averaged. fig.1b This rigorous testing ensures that Stealth rubber will always deliver the highest performance on any angle terrain in any environment.

Hardness

Hand held durometers are the most common and least precise measurement of rubber. To help eliminate human error we use the Instron Shore Conveloader, which lowers a 1kg weight at a specific rate determined by a hydraulic dashpot on to a rubber sample to measure its hardness. The quality control standard in rubber for hardness is +/– 5 Shore A. Stealth manufactures its rubber to tolerances of +/- 2 Shore A.

Quality control

Our state-of-the–art MDR2000 (see fig.2) can test both viscous (friction related) and elastic (edging related) elements of compounds. While this has helped us create new compounds we also use this to control batch-to-batch consistency.

fig.2

Abrasion

There is a common misconception that all sticky rubbers have low abrasion. This may be true of most rubbers, but it is not true of Stealth rubber. We test our rubbers with two different kinds of abrasion testers to verify Stealth’s durability - Taber (see fig.3) and Pico.

RESILIENCE

The Bayshore resiliometer measure the resilience (bounce) giving us additional clues as to the viscoelastic components of the rubber.

®

Success has a Formula ...and it begins here.

The world’s hardest rock climbs were made possible with Stealth C4 and it’s still the favorite of many top climbers. C4 provides high friction and excellent edging.

The ideal compound for hiking and mountain biking shoes because it absorbs far more shock than traditional rubber outsoles. The high-friction rubber is also designed for durability.

Shore A Durometer is 76-80.

Many modern rock climbs and boulder problems involve overhanging rock. We designed HF rubber to enable climbers to pull in with their feet. HF is super sticky and conforms to the smallest edges and crystals.

Shore A Durometer is 67-71.

Saving the world, one fish at a time. All major wading shoe manufacturers have switched from felt to AquaStealth™ in order to combat the potentially catastrophic Whirling Disease. Anglers also gain superior traction in wet, slick conditions.

Shore A Durometer is 66-70.

Shore A Durometer is 68-72.

Success has a Formula ...and it begins here

Designed for great grip in both wet and dry conditions, Stealth Amphibia™ combines high friction with durability. Amphibia™ is ideal for canyoneering, paddle sports, boating and fishing.

Shore A Durometer is 61-65.

The new standard in highfriction rubber, ONYXX™ has unbeatable hardness for precision edging, stickiness for friction, and exceptional durability.

Shore A Durometer is 80-84.

Leave no trace. NEW Stealth Phantom™ is totally nonmarking without sacrificing high-friction and durability.

Non-marking rubber ensures skateboarders, freerunners and all indoor/outdoor athletes the cloak of invisibility.

Available in colors.

Shore A Durometer is 59-63.

A brutally tough rubber designed to be lighter weight with twice the endurance of previous rubbers. Exotic ingredients get off-the-chart marks on the PICO abrasion resistance test.

Shore A Durometer is 69-73.

Stealth® C4™

Vibram® XS Grip™

Temperature (degrees in Fahrenheit)

Glossary * Asym™ Foot shape varies from lateral to medial - it’s this principal that inspires our Asym® Technology.

Variance in bone length, position and arch are paramount to correct fit. * Cowdura™ A strong breathable synthetic suede that doesn’t stretch like leather. Shoes made from Cowdura™ will adjust to your foot, but will stretch very little. * Down-turned Toe Walking and running shoes bend up at the toe for a comfortable stride. A down-turned toe climbing shoe curves the other way for superior toe power. * Dual Pull-on Loops Two pull-on loops positioned in the correct spot at the heel allow the wearer to hold the heel cup open and easily pull the shoe on at the same time. * Side Exit Heel Seam A seam that has been rerouted away from the sensitive Achilles

area to the side of the upper, minimizing hot spots and blisters. * Split Slingshot The slingshot in the Achilles area can make it difficult to point your toe. The split works like a hinge allowing you to flex your ankle more easily.

PU Polyurethane midsole material well known for its high durability.

Compression Molded EVA The most durable type of EVA foam. This is a midsole cushioning material known for light weight and superior shock absorption. * Graded Midsoles The midsole thickness increases with the size of the shoe so everyone gets the same performance from the shoe, regardless of size.

Gusseted Tongue Tongue that is fully sewn into the shoe on all sides to prevent dirt and debris from entering the shoe at lace level.

Split Grain Leather The most supple type of leather.

It comes from the inside layer of the hide.

Full Grain Leather This comes from the outside layer of the hide and is more durable than split.

Action Leather Split leather with PU coating for added durabilty and cosmetic appeal.

Toe Rand Rubber that wraps up the toe and sides of the shoe for protection. In climbing it also adds friction, for better performance. * Padded Split Tongue A two part tongue where each side piece is attached to the side of the shoe opening. As the hookand-loop straps are tightened, the padded pieces slide past each other, allowing a very comfortable and adjustable fit.

* Denotes footwear industry firsts by Five Ten® Footwear/ Stealth® rubber

* Water Sport Buckle Closure The most secure closure system for water. It won’t get waterlogged like laces or come loose like hook-and-loop, and can withstand the force of even the roughest currents.

Unlined Leather Upper This is the most comfortable material against the skin. Expect shoes with unlined leather to stretch between a half a size and a whole size.

Lined Leather upper Lined shoes will not stretch as much as an unlined ones. Expect them to stretch about a half a size.

Whirling Disease is a parasitic infection caused by the microscopic parasite, Myxobolus cerebralis. The disease is named for the characteristic swimming behavior that results as the parasite multiplies in the head and spinal cartilage of the infected fish.
