I was coming in to post this video. lol
I have the x bull and have used them in the snow, t4r and a suburban. Worked just fine yes they do not stack as well as maxtraxx but I’m ok with that. I will probably get a second set as well.

This was the best comparison yet. Aussies know how to really get the most out of their boards. The jack part of the test was the hardest and probably the most useful for me, although the bridge method was cool, too. I think that for the price you really can't beat the XBull's.
Canadian here! I've used them in muddy snow several times. They're bolted to the roof of my Forester all the time. I'm not sure what plastic they used, but it seems to be holding up well - it's not the same as Maxtrax's fiber-reinforced nylon though. I have heard a couple stories of them breaking in -30 conditions, but only after a few uses. Overall, they're well worth the money - no cracking, no UV damage, no permanent deformation.

To me that’s worth it. Never does it get thattttt cold here and if it is chances are I’m not out on back roads.

Are there any places just south of the border you can ship to? Around here, there are few in Michigan that let us Canadians ship to them.

Yeah, Cremona AB looks like you’re a little logistically challenged for a US pickup. If you head down to the Missoula area sometime I know someone there who might be able to be a shipping location. +$200 is crazy. Given that alot of that stuff comes from China into Vancouver it’s surprising there’s that much cost. Is that true of most eBay stuff for you?
Ya, to the point where I rarely look at eBay anymore. When I lived in Montreal a quick drive to the border was easy but now it’s a full day trip on my not so efficient gas machine haha. May try and time it with a trip down that way and make it work that way. I was just in Yellowstone a couple months back too... should have timed it better. May check in with some friends locally I wheel with too and see if any of them are heading down. Would love some traction boards. They seem so useful!

Saw that same video and was having exact same thoughts. Glad to hear they handle relatively well for the price.
Except for one of them cracking a month ago. Not sure why that happened. It was pretty cold out and they did have to flex a bit (wasn't expecting anything unreasonable from them though). It should be covered under their warranty, so I'll report back with what happens...

I had one shatter on me about 6 months after purchase. They refunded me in full, no questions asked.Has anybody tested their claim of a 1 year warranty? One of mine just cracked...
