Husky Liners’ Weatherbeater floor mats are being offered in vehicle-specific fitments, with laser-measured shapes for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. The design follows the footwell rather than sitting on top of it as a universal mat might, and the company says the liners can be installed in 15 minutes or less without tools or trimming.
The mats are intended for wet, dirty conditions. A raised outer edge is designed to hold water, slush, mud and spilled drinks, while the underside uses many small nibs and works with factory retention hooks to limit movement. Cleaning requires removing the liners, rinsing them and putting them back in place.
Husky says the material is meant to remain flexible in cold weather and to resist the cracking and curling that cheaper rubber mats can develop over time. The liners are designed, tested and built in the United States, according to the company, and carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original buyer. The material is also listed as free of latex, PVC, lead and cadmium, which the article notes may matter to owners whose back seats are mostly used by children and dogs.
For buyers who want a softer, more flexible product, Husky offers the X-act Contour as a premium alternative. The Weatherbeater is positioned for work trucks, outdoor vehicles and family vehicles that face real weather. The vehicle-specific sets are currently on sale.
