Husky Liners Floor Mats Make Winter Car Prep A Little Less Intimidating

We get it—no one likes readying their car for the winter season. It’s depressing and, frankly, kind of expensive. From winter tires and new windshield wipers, to replacing the battery and changing out fluids, winter car prep is a p-r-o-c-e-s-s. But swapping in quality floor mats is an inexpensive and incredibly easy way to ensure you’re battling the elements, when that crisp autumn chill turns into a frigid winter breeze.

Your in-vehicle carpets don’t stand a chance without proper floor mats All that snow, slush, mud, dirt, and road salt easily get trapped in carpet fibers, locking in moisture and creating a breeding ground for mold. Not to mention the unsightly stains they leave behind and potential rust they can cause to your floor pans. That’s why, not just any liners will do. You want heavy-duty liners that actually conform to the contours of your vehicle and repel dirt and debris. You want Husky Liners floor mats.

Husky Liners Floor Mats

While the company offers several different styles of floor and cargo liners, let’s focus on the two main sellers: the WeatherBeater and the X-act Contour. “We frequently get asked what the difference is,” says Husky Liners. “Both floor liners offer the ultimate in vehicle protection and are custom molded to fit your vehicle perfectly. The difference is in the feel of the liner. The X-act Contour has more of a soft, rubbery feel to them. The WeatherBeater has more of a rough and rugged feel.”

So, whether you’re looking for a sleek and sporty look that’s soft to the touch or a ruggedly styled mat that can stand up to the absolute worst winter can throw at it, Husky Liners has you covered.

But, let’s unpack that “ultimate in vehicle protection” part a little further…

Both styles are crafted from a patented thermoplastic that allows the mats to be strong but flexible—resisting curling, cracking, and breaking without being impossible to install. This elastomeric material also stands up to the corrosive elements of Mother Nature, as well as harmful chemicals like gas, oil, and battery acid. The WeatherBeater and X-act Contour are form-fitted with laser technology to ensure a custom fit to your specific make and model. Plus, they have Husky Liners’ trademarked StayPut Cleats on the bottom to keep them from slipping and sliding while you’re driving.

Like all Husky Liners floor mats, both styles are made in the USA and come backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Designed with raised channels for maximum spill protection, these mats also clean off easily for long-lasting style. As the company says, “Just yank, dump, spray, and repeat.”

Available in black, tan, and gray, the WeatherBeater and X-act Contour mats match most vehicle interiors. And with applications that run the gamut from A to Volkswagen, you can rest assured you’ll find your make and model on the list.

The Bottom Line

“The mission of Husky Liners is simple,” says the company. “To provide the toughest, best fitting, longest-lasting vehicle armor to American doers. People who get out there and use their vehicles to their fullest potential.

And we make them for life. Unconditionally.”
