Don't know where you've been looking but I got a pair of 50mm thick x 1.2m long waffles for £35 off Ebay. :wink:

having been to morocco this year, and driven both the atlas mountains and the dunes in southern morocco, i'd say that either would help...
we took waffles and used them several times in the sand, they worked ok, as all you want them to do is increase the footprint of the tyre that is spinning/ stuck...
the steel and ally stuff would also work ok, but the steel boards are realy heavy, and the ally ones are super expensive...
my waffles cost me £30 from ebay, they are only the 38mm ones, but worked fine...
outback imports have started doing some kevlar reinforced material ones, they are like thick, stiff carpet, the guy running our trip had some, and they worked realy well... apparently they are used on the Dakar rally... brilliant in soft sand, but no good if you require any sort of 'bridging' properties..
on ballance, go with a set of cheapo ebay plastic waffles.....

Why?
For the price, the ones I have are great, sure they get clogged with mud but they all do that, it's the design.
The 50mm thick ones don't bent half as much as the 38mm ones and there isn't that much extra weight. I can easily lift both of mine at the same time (when not filled with mud!) and they have the gripper material embedded into one side.
Best of all, I can nearly get three pairs for the same price as the one set you've been looking at. :wink:
