Husky Liners is promoting its vehicle-specific Weatherbeater floor liner sets, which the company says are laser-measured for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. The product is positioned as a fitted alternative to universal mats that can slide around on top of the carpet.
According to Husky, each set follows the shape of a specific vehicle’s footwell. A raised outer edge is intended to trap water, slush, mud and spilled coffee, while the liner can be removed, hosed off and reinstalled for cleaning.
The mats are described as staying flexible in cold weather and resisting the cracking and curling that cheaper rubber mats can develop after a few seasons. Hundreds of small nibs on the underside are meant to keep the liners anchored, and the design works with factory retention hooks. Husky says installation takes 15 minutes or less and requires no tools or trimming.
The Weatherbeater liners are designed, tested and built in the US, according to the company, and carry a limited lifetime warranty for the original buyer. Husky also says the material is free of latex, PVC, lead and cadmium—a point aimed at owners whose back seats often carry children and dogs.
For buyers who want a softer, more flexible mat, Husky offers the X-act Contour as a premium step up. The Weatherbeater is presented as the more sensible choice for a work truck, an outdoor vehicle or a family hauler exposed to real weather. The article argues that it is cheaper than steam-cleaning a carpet in April, but no prices, independent test results or specific vehicle fitments are provided.
Husky directs customers to check fitment on its Weatherbeater floor liner site.
