I Think you must be referring to Ultimate Sole? They unfortunately went out of business. The local guys here whom I respect are using Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane. I had always thought polyurethane couldn't be used outdoors because of cracking issues, but maybe they have resolved that. I think the problem was more heat and cold, which is why I never used it, even down below. I have just started using this on my cabinetry, the satin. Looks good.
http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/exterior-clear-protective-finishes/ Whoops, just noticed it sez, not recommended for floors, because of the oils to aid in the expansion and contraction. I would think it would still be at least as tough as a regular varnish. I think regular floor polyurethane would be so hard it would crack in the winter. Or, you could try the shortcut I used several years ago, a quick wipedown with Armor All. With socks on, you could get to the head in record time if you didn't fall!

Do you recall the name of the varnish that grips under pressure?

With respect to finish, I think that you'd have to waterproof the backside, because the floor I saw had staining and deterioration coming from within. I would imagine that some of the non marine polyurethane's like Fabulon would be hard enough to withstand blows from dropped winch handles etc. but not sure about traction. Also heard about a varnish that looks smooth, but grips on pressure being applied.
