Husky Liners’ Weatherbeater floor mats are being offered as a vehicle-specific alternative to factory carpeted mats, with fitment options for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. The Weatherbeater line is currently on sale. Each set is laser-measured for a specific vehicle so it follows the footwell’s shape rather than sliding around on top of it, and a raised outer edge is designed to trap water, slush, mud and spilled coffee.
For cleanup, the liners can be popped out, hosed off and dropped back in. Husky says the material is meant to stay flexible in cold weather and resist the cracking and curling that cheap rubber mats can develop after a few seasons. Hundreds of small nibs on the underside help anchor the liners, and the mats work with factory retention hooks. The company says installation takes 15 minutes or less, without tools or trimming.
The liners are designed, tested and built in the U.S., according to Husky, and carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original buyer. The material is also free of latex, PVC, lead and cadmium. For buyers who want a softer, more flexible product, Husky positions its X-act Contour as the premium step up. For a work truck, outdoor rig or family vehicle that sees real weather, the Weatherbeater is presented as the sensible buy, with the comparison that it costs less than steam-cleaning carpet in April.
Husky advises buyers to check vehicle fitment before purchase.
