Price and Performance: Value That Works Hard

Both the Weatherbeater™ and the X-act Contour® are top-tier floor liners, but they approach the job from different perspectives.

The Weatherbeater™ is the go-to for work trucks, outdoor rigs, and anyone who needs dependable, rugged protection in a traditional, firm-feeling, all-weather design.

The X-act Contour® evolves that formula. It’s not just another liner, it’s the future of all-weather floor protection. Husky’s exclusive ProCore™ material offers a rare balance of toughness and flexibility. It’s built to retain its shape without curling or warping, even after years of heavy use, and easily wipes clean after a dirty job.

Exclusively featured in Husky Liners X-act Contour® floor liners, this advanced compound delivers long-term durability with a soft, comfortable feel underfoot. It bends easily during installation and removal, yet stands up to abuse, temperature swings, and daily wear without breaking down.

Value: Built for Every Budget and Every Driver

Both liners offer serious bang for your buck, but approach value differently. 

The Weatherbeater™ is built to outperform, offering a lower price for rugged durability and edge-to-edge protection. Meanwhile, the X-act Contour® delivers Husky’s most advanced material construction, with superior durability, easier cleanup, and enhanced comfort without breaking the bank. 

Whether you want time-tested toughness or premium, next-gen refinement, both options give you more for less.

Cleanup and Maintenance: Which Liner Saves Time?

Honestly, no one wants to spend their Saturday scrubbing floor liners. Thanks to advanced materials built into every Husky floor liner, you can have your Saturday back.

The Weatherbeater™ washes off faster and with less effort. Pull it out, hose it down, and return to your weekend.

But the X-act Contour® raises the bar even higher. Its flexible ProCore™ construction makes it easier to remove and reinstall, and cleans 20% faster than Weatherbeater™. That means less scrubbing and hassle and a quicker return to whatever else you’d rather be doing.

Verdict: X-act Contour® is the fastest to clean and easiest to handle. But the Weatherbeater™ still outperforms other premium liners in its class.

Fit and Coverage: Full Edge-to-Edge Protection

Both the Weatherbeater™ and X-act Contour® are laser-measured using vehicle-specific data to deliver a precise, glove-like fit. 

Each liner wraps around every curve of your floorboard, offering true edge-to-edge protection that contains mud, slush, spills, and debris. Husky’s signature FormFit Edge™ adds a raised outer lip that creates a high wall along door sills and footwells, helping trap messes before they reach your carpet, especially useful during wet or messy conditions.

Verdict: It’s a tie. Both liners feature Husky’s FormFit Edge™ and vehicle-specific designs that give you maximum coverage with zero gaps.

Grip and Flexibility: Staying Put, Stress-Free

Both the Weatherbeater™ and X-act Contour® feature StayPut Nibs™ on the underside, anchoring the liners securely to your carpet for a no-slip experience—even during sharp turns, sudden stops, or off-road climbs.

Where they differ is in flexibility. The Weatherbeater™ is more pliable than top competitors, making it easy to install and remove without warping. But the X-act Contour® goes further, testing 22% (6) more flexible than Weatherbeater™. This makes it ideal for quick swaps, easy cleaning, and a snug fit that adapts to every contour.

Verdict: Both stay firmly in place, but if flexibility and ease of handling are your top priorities, X-act Contour® is the winner.

Durability and Lifespan: Built to Last

If you're after longevity, both of these liners deliver, but X-act Contour® takes durability a step further.

According to Husky’s internal testing, the X-act Contour® is their most durable liner to date. Built with their proprietary ProCore™ formula, it’s engineered to hold its shape over time without curling or warping, even after years of wear. This makes it Husky’s longest-lasting liner (7), ideal for drivers wanting set-it-and-forget interior protection.

The Weatherbeater™, while not quite as durable, still punches well above its weight class. It’s proven more durable than in independent lab tests, offering exceptional toughness for work trucks, off-roaders, and anyone who demands rugged performance daily.
