Dear Santa Fe owners,

When facing the challenges of harsh weather and daily commuting, a set of high-quality all-weather floor mats can save you a lot of cleaning time and maintenance costs. In order to find products that improve the car experience, Dana and Art created the Youtube channel Spirit’ed Wrenchers. In previous reviews, they first conducted a comprehensive review of WeatherTech products, followed by a detailed comparison between Smartliner and WeatherTech. Now, they’re taking it further by unboxing Lasfit floor mats and directly comparing them with WeatherTech.

To make it easier for you to follow the comparison, we’ve highlighted the key points of the video in a text format. Let’s explore the unique features of these two floor mats together!

Hands-on Floor Mats Brand Video Review

The YouTube video provides a real-world comparison of Lasfit and WeatherTech floor mats installed in a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. Below, we summarize the key findings with timestamps for reference.

1.Material & Flexibility

• Lasfit: Crafted from low-density TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), these mats offer a flexible, rubber-like feel that's durable yet soft to the touch. They are designed to withstand wear and provide a comfortable driving experience.
• WeatherTech: Made from high-density polyethylene, WeatherTech mats are rigid and sturdy, offering robust protection. However, they are less flexible than Lasfit mats, which are designed for a more pliable feel while maintaining durability.

2.Anti-Slip Design

• Lasfit: Both Lasfit and WeatherTech floor mats feature anti-slip nibs on the underside to prevent movement during driving. The Lasfit mats' nibs are designed to grip the vehicle's carpet securely, ensuring the mats stay in place even during rough rides.

• Smartliner: Smartliner mats have more spikes compared to Lasfit, but many people prefer Lasfit because the fewer spikes make it less likely to cause discomfort or injury when placing the liners in or out of the car.

3.Gas Pedal Protection

• Lasfit: One of Lasfit’s standout features is its extended coverage, including protection under the gas pedal. This is a key area that many standard mats neglect. Lasfit’s grooves direct dirt and water away from the pedal area, preventing debris buildup.

• WeatherTech: Unlike Lasfit, WeatherTech floor liners do not offer coverage under the gas pedal. While they protect most of the floor area, the space beneath the gas pedal is left exposed, potentially allowing dirt and debris to accumulate.

4.Locks

• Lasfit: Lasfit floor mats come with non-slip nibs and locks to keep the mats securely in place, ensuring they don’t shift during use. This design provides enhanced stability, especially when entering or exiting the vehicle.
• WeatherTech: WeatherTech mats, on the other hand, lack these locks and use a custom-molded fit to stay in place. While they’re secure, they don’t have the additional anti-slip features like Lasfit.

5.Logo

• Lasfit: The Lasfit mats feature a subtle, embossed logo that doesn’t interfere with the clean design of the mat. There’s no visible adhesive or raised areas that could trap dirt or debris around the logo.
• WeatherTech: The WeatherTech mats feature a more prominent logo that is applied on the surface, which can sometimes make the mat look less sleek. Additionally, the design around the logo creates indentations where dirt and debris can accumulate, making it harder to clean and maintain the mat's appearance over time.

6.Smell

There is no noticeable odor with Lasfit floor mats. Even after being shipped and sitting in a hot environment for days, they remain completely odor-free.

7.Grooves

• Lasfit: Lasfit mats are designed with strategically placed grooves that effectively channel water and debris into the lower part of the mat. These grooves direct the water towards the center, where it accumulates, ensuring that the edges and surrounding areas stay dry and clean.
• WeatherTech: WeatherTech mats feature a deeper puddle area, which is great for containing liquid spills. However, it lacks the groove system seen in Lasfit, which some users prefer for better water management.
