Material: Likely a heavy-duty TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) or rubber. These are designed to be waterproof and easy to hose off.
Design: It features a "raised lip" around the edges. This is intentional—it’s meant to trap liquids (like melted snow or a spilled jug of water) so they don’t soak into your car's carpet.
Compatibility: The specific cutouts and notches (especially that narrow section on the bottom right of the photo) are contoured to fit the wheel wells and storage nooks of the Outback's cargo floor.

Key Features
Flattening: If the mat has been stored rolled up or is slightly warped, lay it flat in the sun for about 30 minutes. The heat will soften the material and allow it to settle into its original shape.
Cleaning: Use mild soap and water. Avoid using silicone-based "tire shine" products on it, as they can make the surface incredibly slippery, causing your groceries or gear to slide around while you drive.
Installation: Ensure the cargo area is clear of debris before laying it down. The textured underside is designed to "grip" the carpet to prevent the mat from shifting.
