I’m not the OP but I just added the Owl sliders three days ago and then went camping. They held up great, my wife loves them as a step and I used them on a few rocks. In the end you have to like the looks, but I really like them.

Thanks! How is the traction of the owl slider surface when wet?
I'm going to need to disagree on this one. I literally drive three days a week over Coldwater, Mulholland and Beverly Glen and it hasn't been an issue at all. There are far slower cars clogging up the canyons than a Grenadier. Now if you are the type that wants to canyon carve at night than no this isn't right for you, but's great for the school runs, it's what I use and will, be using tonight.
This is Cali so we don't actually have water. So I went outside just now and threw a glass of water on the steps. It wasn't great. The hexagon design did a great job, but without a rough area I did slide on the step. I'm just not sure anything else is much better unless it has grip tape.
Up here in WI so I had the same question re Owl sliders - they look fantastic, but the rounded profile and flat step - “uffda.” Looks like a problem for winter. I’m thinking Buzz might be the better option for snow/ice (not that this is an issue you guys have to consider). Square profile and beefy check plate. Although - growing up in Santa Barbara, we did get 1/16” of snow one morning when I was a kid. Cleared out the entire front yard to make one muddy little snowball, which I kept in the freezer. Absolutely thrilling.
