Husky v. Weathertech v. Other??

So with Winter fast approaching here in Wisconsin I need to get a set of all-weather floor mats. I am currently thinking the Husky brand ones, but wanted to reach out to the community in case I am missing a brand that may not be familiar, but makes an awesome product.

I had the OEM Mazda ones in my first 6, and my parents just put them in their new CX9 - They're good, but not great. They're a nice thick rubber that can take a beating, but I found that water from melted snow would gather (as designed) in the small holes. This water would take some time to dissipate since it was in small, "deep" puddles. I live in one of the 20 snowiest cities in the country, so having water gather and stay in the car is no fun.

I currently have the Weathertech ones in my 2014 and I love them. They, too, allow water to gather, but it's much more spread out and therefore dries more quickly. They snap in place very well and, since they have the sides, I don't have to worry about anything seeping under to the bare carpet (which OEMs can allow).

I've no experience with the Husky but I like their other products :)

I voted Weathertech but that's because it's the only aftermarket brand I've used. Also, to be specific, I have the "FloorLiner", not the "All-Weather Floor Mats". They've already saved one big mess when I was coming home from the grocery store. I bought a pre-cooked BBQ'd tri tip and made the mistake of putting it on top of an almost-full bag. I thought about moving it, but didn't and, of course, it fell over. I had the bag in the front passenger footwell and all the fatty juices came out of the container but remained within the rim of the liner. The snap-in points seem pretty secure as I haven't had any issues with them sliding around.

I have WeatherTech floor liners in mine for 2 Chicago seasons now and they'll great. As their adds say, they're laser cut and do indeed cover pretty much everything, especially I like how they go up the sides. They look great and will never have to buy another set again. They're a bit more expensive, but when you put them in, you'll know why and be glad you bought them.

I've run Weather Tech floor liners in almost every vehicle I've owned in Wisconsin. They work great and hold up well. (Northern Midwest winter literally destroyed the OEM accessory "winter" mats in my VW and Toyota within one season each.)

My wife had Huskey liners in her previous Jeep. They kept the crap off the carpet but the edges curled in and they started to look like cheap junk pretty quickly. Lots of folks seem to like them, so they might have improved the design since then...? However, for me Weather Tech are the way to go.

Well I pulled the trigger on some Maxpider 3D Kagu floor mats for $140. I also bought the factory all weather's for insurance. I like the Maxpider's. They are light and seem to have good construction. They have the factory holes for the floor clips which I thought was nice. They for like a glove and look great. Will see how they last in the coming Winter months here in Wisconsin.

I have Weather Tech floor liners in both of my 2015 6’s. They are very durable, hold all the slush during winter, and clean up to near new condition with simple green, water and a brush. I have them for 3 years now and they still look almost new.

I had Weather Tech floor liners in my Porsche Cayenne S, and when I traded it in I sold them on eBay for almost what I paid for them new.

Some crappy cell phone pics but these are my weather mats

I am going to replace the "3d" logo with a Mazda one (shown) or a Mazdaspeed one.

The fronts fitment are fantastic and the coverage runs far up the footwells. The rear I would need to play around with, the curves match but there is a small opening as you can see. I got the complete set during a holiday sale and they ran me close to the price of the front set so why not?

I really like how grippy these mats feel , both staying in place and providing some texture to my shoes.

On a recent rainy day, no slippage that I had with some crappy old ones I bought at Walmart.

Just installed the Husky Liners. Even though they were for 2014-2017, they fit my 2018 perfectly. Very snug and very good coverage. Was able to get them for $127 plus another 10% off from Amazon. Wanted to try the Weathertech but they were $60 more.
Heh, I wrote the above post yesterday and the price for Husky Liners has dropped to $98 on Amazon. Good deal!

I put Husky liners in my 6, but I can't say I'm in love with how they've held up. Grommets have broken from both of the front mats. They still stay in place OK, but it's a little annoying. And both of the front maps cup away from the door sill, creating a sizable gap that collects mud and snow.

Husky was perfectly willing to replace them, but I'd have to send them these mats and wait for the return. It's a minor annoyance, so I'm not too bothered. But if I were doing it again, I'd probably order the Maxpider mats, as I like the look of those.
