Husky gives two options for our trucks, X-ACT CONTOUR and WEATHERBEATER. Does anyone know the difference and which one do you prefer.

X-act-Contours are rubber, Weather Beaters are more like plastic, similar to Weathertechs.

Thanks NASSTY. I'm wondering which would be better. My son has the Weathertech liners in his car and I don't like the fit. They have never laid down properly.

Weather tech fits great in my 16 Plat. no issues and it stays in place.

I have a set of X-Act - they're amazing. Rubbery, fit is spot on, and they look great! Can't help with a WEATHERBEATER comparison.

I have the X-Act Contour in my 2018 F-150, and the Weather Beaters in my wife's 2016 Chevy Tahoe. They both fit the space well, but hers move around easily on the passenger side and in the back seat area. Hers don't weigh very much, and the only thing holding them in place is small 1/8-1/4 inch nibs on the back (like most floor mats) that are supposed to stick into the carpet. That would work well if there was enough weight to hold them down, but there isn't (the drivers side is held down with the factory anchor posts, and stays put and works well). The X-Act ones in my truck are heavy and also have anchor posts on both drivers and passengers sides, and the back seat one is so large that there is no place for it to slide.

Another issue is the feel. The Weather Beaters feel like solid plastic under your feet, kind of like a large paint roller tray. The X-Act Contour mats feel like soft rubber floor mats.

I don't know about other versions, but the Tahoe version of the Weather Beaters doesn't really have any deep ridges and valleys for dirt and small rocks and such to be trapped in. That may sound like a good thing, but it also means that your shoes are always grinding away at dirt and rocks and melted snow and anything else that may have been dropped onto the mats. The X-Act Contour ones have plenty of deep valleys to catch and sequester any stray boot droppings.

I think the X-Act Contour ones are the way to go, and my wife agrees. If we could do it again, we would get them for her vehicle also.

It's comes down to personal preference. I had Weathertechs in my 06 and 11 F150s. I liked the look and the coverage they provided, but I didn't like the slippery plastic feeling under my feet.
I went with X-act Contours on my 2014 and 2017 and happy I did. I prefer the grippy rubber.

I have the X-Act Husky as well. Bought the fronts and the back mats. Love them. Had WeatherTech in the past and they were much too much like plastic. Slippery when wet. Husky's have been perfect so far.

Another big thumbs up for the X-Act Husky liners. I have the fronts and rear in my 2018 Lariat. Fit like a glove, fantastic coverage, and they don't move around at all. Very happy with them.
