The new ones are quite a bit thicker, and a touch wider. The old ones I have are some snow stuff ones, so maybe they are just thinner by design?

I've used the duponts in the past, but not anymore. Eventually the inserts fall out and then you have a regular slider. Do they last the longest? Yes. Are they worth three times the price? No.
I never really had much slider trouble ever, and I've never had ice scratchers on any sled I've owned. Maybe I've been lucky....I don't know. If conditions are poor, I often move to the edge of the trail or off briefly to pick up some loose snow.
The sidewinder chassis has excellent slider life. Last year I put 2000 miles on and the sliders looked like new still.

Here as well Nitro.
I will drag my foot at times to feed snow into track at times.
