Oops Ok
I had the Weather Tech in my car for 7 years. 4 of those years I was a nanny to two girls. They still looked brand new when I eventually traded in the car. My dad actually took them and is still using them in his car.
Highly recommend!
Hey buddy boy, if you put the seats all the way back, it would of been easier to pull them out of the vehicle and spill less to almost none
Capt obvious commercials are back!
Costco has some for very little money.The weathertech materials look cheap
But then you gotta find your spot again. So fuck that
@@AntonioGarcia-xl7xi Lifetime warranty like the husky ones I have?
Nick P 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd like to see how each holds up in a real-world situation. Put a set of each in a mason or concrete contractor's truck for a couple of months.
I started cracking up when he poured the water back into the jeep.
I rewatched that part, thinking to myself....no way, he didn't...
yes he did.
I thought that was kinda funny too!
🤣
Put it back where it belongs, In the jeep!
It was a good try at promoting Weathertech to the uneducated user though!
I've had both, and the Husky stood up better. Still have the set I bought. Weather Techs tend to curl up at the edges. Husky set still looks new, had it in my car since I bought it in '13.
Daniel Rehm thank you for your comment. I’m debating on which to get.
2nd the huskys. I’ve been in several other people’s vehicles with WTs, and they offer too little friction. The huskys are softer, remain flexible, don’t get plasticy and curl. I have them in 2 current vehicles for the past 5 years, front and back, one with the contour fit or whatever, and one with the regular huskys. No complaints on either set.
Some of the comparison “tests” on this video are ridiculous. How difficult is it to pull the label off? Not on my list of concerns.
The huskys are nice and stay in place even if you don’t have a floor hook. The WTs feel like work truck floor liners.
David Sanchez the contours are more plush/softer/flexible feeling than the standard huskys, and would highly recommend them if they’re available for your vehicle. But the regular huskys are still very nice and have really aggressive “spikes” to grip the carpet and stay in place very well, and still offer good friction for your feet.
Both clean up easily with some simple green or similar all purpose cleaner to remove the winter salt. Not sure what the price difference between them is these days but if you can swing the extra few bucks and they’re available for your application, the contours are definitely top of the line, as far as rubber floor mats goes anyway 🍻
@David Sanchez i have a pair of husky's in my Tacoma. they're okay, the driver side matt was molded incorrectly or it got bent in shipping and doesnt sit right, the emblem fell off. and they gave me a hard time about giving me a new one when i called them on the molding. Next set I buy will be weather tech. the passenger side one has been rock solid tho, no shifting, or warping.
I had already decided on the Huskys just on the noise factor alone but yeah this thread helped me confirm that the Husky's are the better choice.
I have both and I find the Husky liner stays flexible where the WeatherTech liner turns hard and tends to "curl" in extremely cold weather. 👍👍for the husky liner.
I have both too. I like them both but would pick the Husky over the weathertech if I had to pick one. I guess it's all personal preference .
Well that was a good comparison but since I got my WeatherTechs for 2$ at the junk yard my decision was easy.
I have Husky's in my 2018 Tundra, I like the way they overlap the door sill. Also I like the more rubbery consistency of the Husky. I wanted WeatherTech until I researched and for my truck, Husky was a better choice for me.
I have weather tech in my 500 Abarth, and they've been great mats for me. I hose em down, light scrub, and they look new.
I have weather tech in my Silverado, they work great. Especially the extra large information the rear, that goes under the seat. It covers the entire area.
I got the weather tech, fits my Murano perfectly.
Been buying Weathertech for over 10years. Never had any issues, when you take them out the original carpets were always perfect.
5:44 “definitely making for a hazardous situation” as he’s standing in a pool of water with a wet extension cord. Haha
I'm so happy with my recent Weather Tech purchase
Thank you. From whet I've seen I think I will order the Husky liner. To me I would prefer the softer material for the less plastic feel of it.
Wonderful thorough review! I've got weathertech on my SUV and small car. It has the best fit by far. It literally looks like it's part of the car. I never take the mat off with liquid. I simply dab it with a paper towel or rag before removing it. That basically eliminates any risk of spillage.
Still work?
I've had the weathertechs for my DD since 2016. They still look great. The quality is unmatched. The fitment is precise. We put them in all our cars. Best part is it keeps the factory carpet real clean.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
I have weathertech floor mats and they do well. The self-stick name brand label came off within a year. They did capture liquids that spilled on them quite well. Never tried Husky mats before to give honest comparison.
Had thought about getting Husky, but im happy I went with Weathertech.
You'll be getting husky in a couple years trust me
well, it's been one year since the purchase... @fishme7 still happy?
@@ChristopherStandardTime Wow time flies! Yes, I am still happy. However, I haven't been pushing the limits of my weather tech living in the suburbs. Still holding up great in my 2015 Ram 1500.
When he threw the Husky after the burnout, he reminded me of Kevin James. 😂
Have no idea how I ended up here... but I do watch a lot of review vids and you did a great job. You are a natural on camera, don’t talk too much, and I like your tests - especially the Mentos and burnout tests!!!! 😂 🤣
Just bought Husky for my 2020 Grand Cherokee Altitude. Fits like a glove, very pleased so far !!
TheChamp2201 yeah I think I’m going husky this time myself
I got the husky because they went up farther and covered more area in my Accord. I could see a lot of stuff falling off my shoes against the accelerator pedal, and completely missing the WT liner. Been having them a few years, with messy occupants, and they still look new after simple cleaning.
and the price is like 100 less.
What year accord do you have?
@@AzrealJ i got the las fit ones for a 2019
I've had a set of weathertech in my daily for about 2 years now, and they still look brand new
I've had a pair of weather tech liners for about a decade and wore several holes in the driver side mat. Weather tech refused to stand behind their product because I couldn't find a receipt. The liner has their name on it for Christ sake! Husky doesn't require a receipt for warranty claims. I just bought a 2017 accord, and I went with Husky.
@@billydavison3134 check out my weathertech mats after only ONE year. The company completely failed to stand behind their product which has a terrible performance in a warm weather state. ua-cam.com/video/8TGOh9heZLA/v-deo.html
Great review bro. I think I’ll get the Husky for the driver side ( more comfortable and grippy on carpet ), an the Weathertech for the passenger side. Wifey has enough grip.
the foot noise on the weather tech is the deciding factor for me, so going Husky!
Same here
Noise is definitely my priority because this is a car and not a truck, and I hope the two hooks on my toyota matrix will grip well on the Huskys.
My mom put Weathertechs in her Rogue and I put Huskys in my Tacoma. I much prefer the non-slip quiet rubbery style to the Weathertech's more plasticky sound and slippery feel.
Thank you very much for the detailed review!!!!
Great Video, You Covered more information than I could think of. Thanks
I appreciate the honest detailed comparison of both American made companies.
no problem
I just bought my wife WT floor liners for her Acura RDX for Xmas. They are not only cheap plastic, the edges curl up wards, so water, salt can get into the carpet. My next move is to try and use a heat gun to bend the edges down. the whole thing was a waste of time and money. I have a 4 year old set of WT mats in my truck, and they used to be thick rubber that fit correctly. They are making them now with inferior materials, and sloppy cutting.
I've had Weather Tech and I love them!
Awesome! Review thanks for sharing
Although the WT look nice I think I’m going with Husky bc I live in a rainy area and am concerned about foot slippage. Thanks for the demo
I love my Husky!! I I have them in the front and back of my 2018 Nissan Titan!!!💜💜💜
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks.
Husky Contour mats are great, if they make them for you vehicle I highly recommend them. The rubber texture makes them less slippery when getting in to the car with snow or mud on your shoes/boots. They are a little harder to clean but they are floor mats, who cares.
Weathertechs are ok, but usually $30ish more than the Husky, which can be found on sale quite often.
Love my Husky liners, stay in place, easy to clean.
I think its dependent on which vehicle. Because for my 15 fusion the husky liners covered a good 3inches further towards the seats and fit better than the weathertech. I had sent mine back and then tried the husky. Glad I did! Love the in channel wind deflectors from Tech though, among a few other things. Both great companies, with very nice products, and best of all..MADE IN THE U.S.A. which isnt very common at all these days.
Know this an old comment but it's definitely vehicle dependent, on my jeep wj the husky goes up nearly twice as far underneath the pedals and towards the firewall on the passenger side, and for that reason alone I think there better
@@Catboy-hr2qp Perfect time to comment this looks for floor liners for my wj. Any issues with the huskys?
@Jonathan React none so far, they follow the contours a little worse than weathtech but they stay in place better and like I said they go up further underneath which alone makes them better in my opinion
@@Catboy-hr2qp Thank you going to definitely consider them
Great test - a REAL test. Thanks!
Thank you. Thinking I'll go with Husky for my '07 Honda CR-V. The rubbery, non-slick surface seems like it would be more comfortable.
Holy smokes man where do you plan on using these mats? Off roading in the middle east??
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@Oakleyworld seems plausible after 2020
I think I have a solution for removing wet liners from the vehicles. You take the sponge, soak the liquids and remove liner without spilling anything.
Bogdan Dakonovic exactly I’m looking at this guy like who the hell try to remove it with a quart of water on me
@@matthewmontalvo5066 Shop-vac
2:37 why did he just spill the water even more 😂😂
I’ve had both liners and actually prefer the husky. The weather techs were a bear to clean (they were a tan color and you can still see the dirt after I scrubbed)
I've run them both and kinda like the Weather Techs more.
Theyre both great!
Opposite for me. I prefer the softer Huskies. The WeatherTech I had in the rear of my F-150 was awful, curled up along the edges within a year, but looks like they have changed the design since then.
I have a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and love my weather tech mats, back seat cover and passenger back seat protector…. I’ve never tried Husky’s brand but I’ve never been disappointed with Weather Tech!
When you said the Husky had a more rubbery feel, that convinced me. I hate the plasticky / slippery feel of Weathertechs.
Glad we could help!
And slippage... Love my husky liners as I don't have to worry about my foot skipping when I'm driving or entering the vehicle. They also stay put pretty damn well so any elderly person won't have an issue with possibly slipping entering or exiting. Pretty nice
Guy sounded biased against Husky Liners from the start. I've used Husky liners in 5 vehicles without issue since early 2000. Never wore thru and protected my carpet. I was never crazy about the Weather Tech brand, I always felt it was just a knock-off of Husky. Not sure how your going to end up with all that water in your floor mat. If that happens you have more issue than a floor mat can help you with.
I kind of thought so too. I don't see calling the Husky Liners flimsy. They're soft because they're more rubbery and the weathertech are more plasticy. I have both and like both but I like the Husky better. They're more comfortable under your feet and the aren't gray looking after you clean them.
@@dwf150101 - thought it was funny how the weather tech is supposed to have a huge area to hold the water...where the open hole is to attach to the factory anchor...HAHAHAHA. The Husky doesn't have a hole where the anchor fits.
My uncle has had huskys in his 91 chevy ever since I can remember, still going strong
My Husky/ WT choice was made when Husky went on 20 percent off sale. Like the Husky a lot.
I had one husky that was worn through on the driver's side where the heel of the shoe rested. Husky sent me a brand new one with just a photograph required.
I wish they make these for my wife's new car.
Run the techs in ALL my rides n love em!!!
I like how they tried to make it look like one of those "As Seen On TV Infomercial" commercials LOL at 5:17
He kinda sounded like beetlejuice there
You do not take the liner out to get rid of the water. You mop it up.
Then he dumped the rest back on the floor board with zero liner lol
i have an offbrand similar set of mats: i just dump them right over the door jamb.
I disagree with ever aspect of this. My ram optional "weather tech" stuff formed mats are the TITS. And shop vacs will suck the deep puddles from snow or whatever if you cant move that sear back or your pedals back to the floorboard. ( call me spoiled but my ram techs cost me as much as the front only from either company and I got a solid 1 piece rear to boot . What a goog. That mud had to be dried trampled for a week while building up more rocks and mud. And the "burn out" ha. Are you sure the wear wasn't a lil extra anti slip rubber coating. To the Ford fans. Floor mat beats Raptor. Ba ha ha. Check what's out there for your vehicle most companies guarantee equivilants with a long return policy!
Oh ....my bad. Also I've never had fluid contact anywhere but the area around the cup holder. Taco shaped do NOT transfer fluid well. Great how not to test a CBC mat vid!. I did learn
I use a shop vac
I’ve used both floor mats, and Husky gets my vote. IMHO Husky was a better fit and less stiff. But whatever floats your boat. They will both do the job.
My dad had them in his JK before he got his gladiator The Huskies never seemed to have any problems although my mom has the weather techs in her range rover and those have been great as well you can’t go wrong with either they’re both a great product. As a lawn care and landscaper I feel like I prefer the weather techs that I just recently bought they just seem a bit sturdier. Jesus bless y’all.
I went with husky and couldn't be happier. $110 compared to $215 it was an easy choice.
Both are great floor mats. I own both and only slightly prefer the Husky's due to them not being as slick when wet because they are a rubber instead of a plastic. Otherwise both are exceptional.
I've had the husky liners for 10months.... love them,zero issues
Idk what the hell the burnout test was supposed to prove but it needs to be a standard test for everything and anything
We did it for accurate science purposes 😆
If your ride gets stuck in snow or mud, a floor mat pushed under the front edge of the tires that are spinning might provide enough traction to bring the tire forward out of the problem area. Looks like the Husky is more likely to provide the traction that might get you unstuck.
Yep, i have got myself unstuck from my snowy and icy driveway many times by tossing the mat under a wheel
Just ordered a set of huskys. ive had weather tech in my other vehicles and they look like they will fix most the issues i see with weathertech... mainly very slippery when wet, liner tends to move around when getting in and out, and the edges always curl over time causing dirt to just get under them.
This is quality my man . Still laughing hahah
I have a medium tan color Weather Tech. The fit is great. I do find I have to use a brush to scrub the dirt out of the fine grain that is molded into the plastic. It won't just rinse off.
I think it should be mentioned that those look like the Husky X-Act liners. They also manufacture a WeatherBeater line that is more like the WeatherTech product.
Four Volvos (2005 XC90, 2009 S80, 2011 S60, 2018 V60 Cross Country).
ALL with WeatherTech mats, with no reason to consider another brand. Made in USA, a tad more expensive, but for me, worth the extra cost. Easy install, easy clean. Done.
I still have my weather tech 10 years old and they still look like new after I get them wash, best investment so far.
Awesome!
Mine are stained brown from mud but they don’t have scratches in them and are in good shape otherwise
very nice video, thanks for your help. you really went in depth with the tests.
I bought WeatherTech for my '13 Sonata and '10 Accent. Huskyliner for my oldest sons '14 Sonata , youngest sons '14 Cruze and my '00 S10. I find both about equal.
I love my weather techs the rear has slightly curled at the edges and the driver mat the emblem started coming off so I pulled it off and stuck it to the side of the mat and been there ever since
Love the burnout test. I have used floormats in a pinch for myself or randomly encountered neighbors who are stuck in the snow.
I have run husky liners in my truck since i bought it and do find them too hold up quite well to daily use and abuse. My girlfriend runs the weather techs in her truck and between the two i personally will take the husky liners because i notice my girlfriends mats tend too slide around a fair bit more but overall they are both good mats and you can’t go wrong either way
the noise from the weather tech isn't as noticeable when there is carpet down there I love mine they do great to keep my new car clean
I love my weathertechs and r very easy to clean
What would be a good idea to add to this video, an update.... Is how they age. Because over time, dirt can get into the plastic and make any mat fade it a brown dirt/mud color as my gray wheathertech mats did.
Both weather tech and Husky floor liners are great. I have weathertechs in my 17 Tacoma and Husky in my 13 Tacoma. I personally do slightly prefer the added grip of the softer rubber on the husky liners, but honestly I could go either way with these. When choosing between husky and weathertech. I just choose the ones that I can get the fastest at the time. No other comparison need be made in my opinion as they are both just great liners.
Either of these mats would be a one time purchase, maybe twice if you keep the ride long enough. If you prefer one over the other, it makes better sense that you buy that one, regardless of whether it takes longer to arrive. You're gonna live with these a long time- get what you like.
@@satulytman Jesus loves you
This was very helpful, thank you!
With carpet, you won't hear the WeatherTech beating against the floor pan. I have WeatherTech's in my truck and Husky's in my car. They're both very good products and you can't really go wrong with either. I do like how the Husky's cover the carpet hook as I've gotten some mud stains around the carpet hook opening on the WeatherTech's.
The black/white infomercial bit was 🔥😂
Great review hermano! Tim Allen meets dad jokes, meets consumer reports. BTW, I didn't even think about how dirt, water, etc could fall back into the car when removing them. Of course I think I'd slide the seat back before doing it. :-)
I prefer Husky liner xacts over weathertech's. I've owned both and I prefer the soft rubber and the way it feels/sounds. I also prefer the deeper grooves to keep my feet/pants from touching the water. Lastly I found all the weathertech's I've owned would fold in and not lay flat against the contours of the floor.
"that a lot of damage"
Really enjoyed it... Very Nice video
Owned WeatherTech for years... and was lamenting high price... well worth it. My only recommendation would be to add objective measurements to tests... how much force on the screwdriver... how much effort in lbs went in the tearing... how subjective is the application of force? assuming it was impartial, there's no competition.
Great review - appreciate the “torture” real world test.....!
My weather techs were the first addition made to my 2014 and still going strong. Look a little different than the ones in the video (more coverage and no hole opening for the stud) and hold a lot of water. Unfortunately, the decal/brand label did not last long. I attribute that to lots of salty slush that sat for WAAY too long. Hey, it's a Jeep.
Interesting testing methodology.
I have weather tech in all my vehicles. Best mats ever
they are great quality mats.
yeah I agree with you whethertech are very good mats I had them in my previous car and was very satisfied but I bought the Huskies this time because they were literally like 60 bucks cheaper I got the front mats and the rear mats for $136 after taxes & free shipping. They all seem pretty legit imo??
@@honda116969 I was shopping for matts and saw the price of the WT price and bought some Husky matts for half the price and have had them for 2-3 years and they have held up great.
@@MrTimdtoolman1 right on! I love mine. Makes cleaning the floor so easy. I have dogs so it's hard to vacuum the hair out of the carpet but it's so easy off of the husky floor mats.
@@honda116969 60 bucks is nothing if you're supporting American-made.
Prefer husky
Wt tend to curl and just dont feel as substantial
I’ve had them in two vehicles and they do tend to curl and don’t fit right after a while.
WT very plastic, slid up and then create a gap or curl, way to slippery, Husky more rubbery and don't slide around.
@@JamesWilliams-wy5oj Must be a new thing with the Huskys then. I have had a set of them in my 2004 Silverado since sometime in 2005 and the driver side (I hardly ever have passengers for that side to get use) slipped/slips all the time. It actually slipped up far enough that it permanently creased itself.
I live in a desert area where it's above 110F in the summer everyday. Which one do you think is better for my area? Thank you.
I just bought a set of WT and they no longer have the cheesy logo on them. This will be my 2 nd set as I purchased a new truck. The one thing I have to say is the WT fit perfect. It looks like WT upgraded their floor liners from the 1st set I bought. I had the WT in my first truck for 11 years with no problems. The only down size to WT is it does feel more like a work truck due to the harder plastic they use. Husky uses more of a rubber that cuts down on the noise. It’s totally up to the consumer but I give WT a slight advantage for the tight fit of the floor mats.
Rugged ridge is the way to go best price and quality
I have Weather Techs and love them, very easy to clean.
Says he is going to put them in "mud creek".
Actually puts them in septic tank field line discharge
Both are great products. I've had both. The Weather techs make it harder to remove dirt as you can brush them and they never look spotless.
Personally I choose the husky liners because they are softer and more rubber like which contours better. Also I wanted the little spikes on the bottom to help aid in the mats not sliding around.
I had weather tech in my MDX for ten Buffalo winters and they were amazing. Best money I ever spend.
Team Weathertech, all day, everyday.
💪🏼😎👍🏻
I've had both. Now l go with the huskys. Better fit, less expensive, look good.
i have weather tech currently but think i am going to try husky next time. Weathertech mats are very hard, which is good for durable, but not so good for removing the matts or feel. I think a softer material would be more attractive. Is what i would like to see is a company put carpet in the middle of these mats like the Ram Limiteds have. Then we get a more luxury mat with ultimate protection
I've used Weather Techs on several vehicles and liked them until I got a set for my last truck a 2012 Ram 1500 Quad cab. When I took them out of the box I noticed them to be out of shape. When I installed them they did not sit flat like they were suppose to. They curled up on several edges. I took pictures and sent it to Weather Tech. They replaced the rear liner because it looked the worst. However the new ones were not much better. They too were somewhat curled. I think the problem is in how the package them up and ship them. For my 2019 Ram 1500 Quad cab I went with the Husky's. A night and day difference in fit and trim. They fit like a glove.And they were better packaged. The price was better also. Won't go back to Weather Tech.
Hilarious test!
Good review, what about a comparison of leather seat covers, not just seat covers but full replacements and comparison of brands and foam for seats.
