By John Steinhorst

Two good friends, Willard Latimer and Bob Pierce, were playing golf one day in 1985 at their local course in the small town of Chehalis, Washington. Bob pulled a piece of shock-absorbing material, called Sorbothane, out of his back pocket and asked Willard if he could think of anything it could be used for. Willard took it from him, felt it for a few seconds, then immediately said, “It sure would make a good gun pad.”

Willard had been an avid hunter all his life and always wished someone would invent a better recoil pad to make his shooting experiences more enjoyable. The pair of entrepre’neurs instantly recognized the benefits of such an amazing product to the hunting and shooting sports, and this important moment launched the beginning of KICK-EEZ Products.

Available Now – The Sorbothane® KICK-EEZ Ultra Sportsman is a premium replacement insole designed specifically for the hunting and shooting enthusiast.

This insole combines lightweight polyurethane foam for structural support, with Sorbothane® fore-foot and heel inlays for cushioning comfort and maximum foot-strike protection.

Sorbothane® is the only insole material that can absorb up to 94.7% of impact shock. And unlike standard insole materials, which can bottom out and lose effectiveness, Sorbothane® performs under any condition. Durable and comfortable, KICK-EEZ Ultra Sportsman insoles retain their shock absorbing benefits month after month. Lightweight and antifungal, they also breathe, which makes for a much cooler insole.

Sorbothane® insoles have been highly recommended by doctors, sports medicine specialists and professional trainers for decades. Sorbothane® insoles have proven to be the best defense against foot pain, back pain and impact-related injuries such as Achilles tendonitis, runner’s knee and shin splints.

Sorbothane, Inc., announces that KICK-EEZ® will be exhibiting at the 2009 SHOT Show. KICK-EEZ® Recoil Pads made with Sorbothane are the most popular pads on the market today. KICK-EEZ® will feature the newly engineered Dual Action Recoil Pad. This unique Dual Action recoil-absorbing pad combines two layers of Sorbothane®. The first, ultra-soft Sorbothane® layer reacts to absorb recoil for increased accuracy. The second, Sorbothane® layer dissipates energy and completes maximum recoil absorption.

According to independent testing, the KICK-EEZ® Dual Action Recoil Pad absorbed more energy than any other recoil pad.

Sorbothane® is scientifically proven to be the finest cushioning material available. In many applications Sorbothane® has absorbed up to 94.7% of the impact force. Engineers worldwide specify Sorbothane for its shock absorbing and vibration isolating properties. KICK-EEZ® recoil pads reduce more recoil and do it better than any other pad. Less recoil reduces flinching, eases sore shoulders and cheeks. Unprecedented absorption levels are possible because Sorbothane® absorbs shock waves by dispersing energy outward from the impact source. KICK-EEZ® recoil pads eliminate the rebound effect of the first shot, and therefore second shots are quicker and more accurate. Sorbothane® will not “bottom out” or “rebound” as do most common rubber materials on the market today.

The Vibration Solution, LLC in conjunction with Sorbothane, Inc., introduce Silent Feet® the most effective vibration absorbing appliance pads available. These newly engineered pads feature vibration isolating Sorbothane®, a visco-elastic polymer. Silent Feet® have been design to reduce or eliminate noisy and harmful vibrations on virtually every washing machine and dryer on the market today.

Silent Feet® are easy to install with each set featuring two

“easy-slide” rear feet and two “super-sticky” front feet.

Sorbothane engineers, in partnership with leading equipment manufacturers, have developed components for a pallet system that reduce vibration and impact damage to high-value cargo in over-the road trucking and air transportation.

Sorbothane® is an energy absorbing proprietary material that has been used to protect critical cargo in a variety of applications. Sorbothane® pads effectively isolate the cargo on shipping pallets from damage-causing impacts. In addition, Sorbothane® pads can eliminate the need for special air ride trailers and premium freight rates. Sorbothane develops custom and standard isolators for pallet manufacturers to create energy attenuating pallet systems for shipping critical loads and high-value equipment. Sorbothane engineers assist pallet manufacturers in determining the shape, size and location of the Sorbothane® pads and loading configuration to achieve the desired shock absorption. Sorbothane® can also be custom-molded as an integral shock mount within the product. (more…)
