Husky Liners’ vehicle-specific Weatherbeater floor liners are currently on sale, with fitments offered for cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. The product is aimed at the slush, road salt, mud and spilled coffee that collect in a footwell during winter, when factory carpeted mats can become soaked and difficult to clean.
Each Weatherbeater set is laser-measured for a specific vehicle, so the liner follows the shape of the footwell rather than sitting on top of it as a universal mat might. A raised outer edge is designed to trap water, slush and mud. For cleanup, the liners can be removed, hosed off and reinstalled.
Cold-weather construction
Husky says the mats are intended to remain flexible in cold temperatures and to resist the cracking and curling that cheaper rubber mats can develop after a few seasons. Small nibs on the underside help anchor the liners, and the design works with a vehicle’s factory retention hooks. According to Husky, installation takes 15 minutes or less and requires no tools or trimming.
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. Husky also says the material is free of latex, PVC, lead and cadmium—a point the company presents as relevant for households where children and dogs ride in the back seat.
Where it fits in the lineup
For buyers who want a softer, more flexible product, Husky offers the X-act Contour as a premium step up. But for a work truck, an outdoor vehicle or a family hauler exposed to real weather, the Weatherbeater is presented as the practical choice. The pitch is straightforward: a fitted liner is less expensive than steam-cleaning carpet in spring.
