Has anyone used these? Are they a worthwhile alternative to Maxtrax? I love the idea of their multiple uses other than as recovery tracks (saving carrying a number of items), & as recovery tracks the ability to use them as bridges is a significant bonus.
What do you think ..... a great idea .... or another camping white elephant?

They look OK but who knows what they will be like. Could be a bit slippery in the wet. Especially if that non slip coating wears out.

Not too bad. If you are after Maxtrax wait for a Supercheap 50% off sale and get them for $240. These do look versatile though.
Since I already have Maxtrax I won't be rushing out to get these but I am still interested in hearing reviews from users.

Looks like Muppet tracks to me. I'll stay with my giantz tracks off eBay. Cost me $100

I thought it was a piss take ad at first
That's awesome so many uses. . . I liked the slow mo table cloth throw. Also like her old Landy, pretty cool.
I drove the LWB Landies in the Army back in the 80's. Absolutely go anywhere awesome bit of gear. Repair kit consisted of coat hanger wire and olive drab paint. Certainly not the case nowadays with the Merc G-Wagons!!
Dont like the idea of showing the MAXTRAX fail on something they were not designed to do.
Just more junk to add to your already heavy Ute,
If you get stuck it will take more than those "tracks"to get you out.
But as you said a few ways to use them Thats in their favour
Good to see the series one still going too
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
