Jens Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Five.ten has a new rubber out called stealth high friction or (HF). Anybody use it or hear about how it climbs? I emailed five.ten several months ago before my last resole but never got a reply. Also, anybody care to comment: The older Stealth 2 seemed stickier than C4, but didn't edge nearly as well. Could this new HF stuff be a throwback to the old Stealth 2 that was retired about 1990? Quote

cracked Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Jens, I haven't personally used the HF rubber (it's only available on the Dragon and whatever the new yellow slipper is called), but supposedly it is softer than C4, so it smears better, but doesn't edge as well. That's why they use it on their steep-stuff shoes only. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Five.ten has a new rubber out called stealth high friction or (HF). Maybe I'm missing something here, but I thought you want lubrication, not high friction in a rubber. Obviously, some friction is needed, but too much could uncomfortable. I can understand the need under certain circumstances for stealth technology. Quote

RuMR Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 I've got some dragons...HF edges fine, and seems to smear a little better brand new...it does wear a lot faster though Quote
Jens Posted January 23, 2003 Author Posted January 23, 2003 It sounds like it is just the old Stealth 2 rubber remarketed. And thanks Trask for defending the validity of my post. Quote
