Slip mats

[Rustic12]

What’s peoples experience with slip mats. I’ve nearly been caught out a couple of times recently in wet slippery fields but managed to get out. Anyone recommend a particular brand or type ? Cheers

Never had any success with slip mats, they just slip. However, snow thingy's got me out of bother in France this year.

I have a set of these, saw them cheap (new) on a car boot..
Always forget to put them in the van BUT a pair are in ready now after a slippy week out recently.

I have a pair of these, never had to use them in anger

Watched some videos on youtube on these.. They look great BUT the people i watched didnt have much success..
Hope they do work if needed

Although they MAY give you extra grip.. the trouble with them is that they will sink into the soft terrain with the weight of your van and your wheels will also sink and will need to climb out of the depression thus made... unlike the aforementioned sand ladders that support the wheels and do not allow them to sink into the mush under foot.. hopefully makes sense.

My experience of these things is that, once you have lost traction, the tyres are full of mud and just slip on the mats. If in any doubt put the mats under the wheels when you park. Don't wait till you are struggling for traction.
