OrthoLite Creates World’s First and Only Aerogel-Infused Open Cell PU-Foam

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021

AMHERST, Mass. (February 25, 2021) – OrthoLite®, the industry leader of branded, high performance and comfort footwear solutions, unveils OrthoLite O-Therm™, an innovative new thermal insole technology that sets a new standard in cold-weather footwear protection. O-Therm offers all of the known benefits of open-cell PU-foam, while combining the world’s lightest and most insulative cold barrier protection. This technology is only possible with O-Therm’s proprietary aerogel’s unmatched thermal properties and is unrivaled in any other footwear offering. For the consumer, this means your feet will stay warmer, you can stay outdoors longer, feel more comfortable, perform better and go farther in cold weather conditions.

O-Therm is the first and only aerogel-infused, open-cell PU foam. This new technology creates a thermal barrier that blocks the cold and maintains footwear temperature regulation. Using an advanced aerogel, the world’s most insulating material, the proprietary combination of materials in O-Therm delivers unmatched thermal insulation and all-day comfort underfoot for cold-weather protection.

“OrthoLite’s proprietary aerogel is O-Therm’s secret sauce,” explains Rob Falken, Vice President of Innovation at OrthoLite. “Our advanced aerogel traps micro-pockets of air without the need for loft, and it won’t lose its effectiveness when compressed under foot. OrthoLite’s aerogel is unlike any other aerogel solution in that it is nano-porous inside of a multi-porous structure, and that creates a supreme thermal barrier which blocks both cold and heat. In addition, O-Therm’s advanced silica aerogel powder is the lightest man-made material, weighing in at only three times the weight of air,” Falken notes.

O-Therm advanced aerogel is also exceptionally hydrophobic, which means it repels water and moves moisture away from the foot to provide a drier, more comfortable shoe environment. Exclusive to OrthoLite, this proprietary advanced aerogel requires no special handling or encapsulation – a world’s first.

OrthoLite worked with third-party thermal test laboratory, New York City-based Vartest Laboratories, to quantify the thermal performance of O-Therm aerogel insoles under extreme cold conditions -78°C (-108°F). The third-party test results validate that O-Therm is a breathable thermal barrier that is 54% more effective on average in comparative testing to other thermal insoles when tested at -78°C (-108°F).

O-Therm retains all of the comfort and performance benefits of OrthoLite open cell PU foam. O-Therm is a 2mm base-layer thermal foam that can be combined with a wide range of OrthoLite top-layer foams to create a custom insole solution tailored to a broad range of footwear categories, including: outdoor, casual, work, ski and snowboard, fashion, and other cold weather footwear categories. The innate thinness and moldability of O-Therm also makes it an ideal thermal barrier solution for footwear linings and strobel layers—bringing unsurpassed cold block technology without adding bulk or weight.

“We are proud to introduce this new thermal innovation to the footwear industry,” says John Barrett, President of OrthoLite. “We see tremendous potential in the market—in cold weather footwear applications and beyond.”

As a vertically integrated U.S. company with facilities around the world, OrthoLite collaborates with its brand partners to create and produce custom insole formulations that deliver unrivaled comfort and performance. For additional information on the new O-Therm technology, please click here.

Precision Shooter Bryan Sikes Signs with Hoppe’s

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2021

Former Special Forces Sniper to Join Hoppe’s Shooting Team

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – March 1, 2021 – Hoppe’s, the No.1 name in gun care products, is pleased to announce that competitive long-range shooter and precision gunsmith Bryan Sikes has joined Team Hoppe’s for the 2021 competitive shooting season.

Sikes is a lifelong shooter and hunter who took his passion for long-range shooting into the competitive arena after 12 years in the armed forces. While in the U.S. Army, he served as a Special Operations Sniper with the 7th Special Forces Group. Sikes won his unit’s Top Sniper award in 2014 and 2015, and finished 7th and 9th in 2014 and 2015 at the Annual USASOC International Sniper Competition. He is also an active member of the PRS community and has worked as a precision rifle builder at GA Precision for the last five years.

“It’s a privilege to join the team at Hoppe’s and I’m excited to help continue the legacy of such an iconic brand,” said Sikes. “Hoppe’s products are second to none and without them, I wouldn’t be able to compete and train at such a high level.”

With countless hours on the range and behind the workbench, Sikes leaves no variable left to chance, from the best materials and components to the best gun care products for maintenance. That’s why Sikes chooses Hoppe’s for his gun care, and why he’s excited to help Hoppe’s continue to develop and perfect new products.

Hoppe’s is very excited to have Bryan join our family,” said Eliza Graves, senior brand marketing manager for Vista Outdoor. “Bryan is a highly respected veteran, precision rifle shooter, and instructor whose knowledge in the industry is widespread. His decision to represent Hoppe’s is proof that our world class products are utilized by the best.”

Besides representing Hoppe’s, Sikes serves as an ambassador for other Vista Outdoor brands including RCBS and Bushnell.

Seismic Ammo Use Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS3 Casings

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2021

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Seismic™ Ammo’s QuakeMaker™ +M 9mm NATO bullets, featuring Shell Shock Technologies’ casings, are heavier and deliver far greater momentum than any other 9mm.

Westport, Conn. (March 2021) – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC., an early-stage technology and manufacturing company focused on developing innovative case technologies for the ammunition industry, announces that Seismic™ Ammo has introduced its 185gr 9mm round featuring Shell Shock Technologies’ revolutionary NAS3 casings.

Seismic’s QuakeMaker™ +M 9mm NATO bullets are heavier and deliver far greater momentum than any other 9mm. At subsonic velocities, they’re ideal for suppressors. The QuakeMaker +M projectile is 160 percent the weight of a standard 9mm bullet. It is available in a 21 Round Bonus Pack ($29.99), 21 Round Bonus Pack Full Case ($359.88), and 21 Round Bonus Pack Half Case ($179.94).

“Seismic Ammo is taking conventional ammunition in a different direction. We believe a projectile with more mass traveling at subsonic velocities (900 – 1,000 fps depending on the barrel length) is more effective than a lighter weight projectile traveling at a higher speed,” said Matt Wilkes, Chief Operating Officer of Seismic Ammo.

“We are thrilled and honored to have our innovative NAS3 casings be a part of Seismic Ammo’s take on a heavier 9mm projectile,” said Craig Knight, CEO of Shell Shock Technologies.

About Shell Shock Technologies NAS3 Cases:

NAS3 9mm cases are 50 percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear-out, or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger) and elasticity than brass. NAS3 cases will not split, chip, crack or grow (stretch) and are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies) and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS3 cases have been tested successfully by customers to pressures over 70k psi. NAS3 cases can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification.

NAS3 is “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS3 cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, 10 rounds, extreme variation 3fps).
