I think crossland is now an ECP own brand.

I don't want to say that it will be cheap st, but...

I've seen it many times on filtersim assuming you mean something like this?

It's purpose is to act as a barrier for snow.

Specifically melted snow - otherwise you run the risk of the paper filter being damaged from being soaked with water, then ingested into the engine.

That would make sense in a Volvo.

It's probably fine to use. I think crosland do ones with and without the material, but I find that sometimes when you use car parts websites with your registration number then they might come up with the one without the foam.

I have in the past cut the material off an old air filter when the material is looking really dirty to get more life out of it (quite often the filter underneath looks clean). Whether or not it actually makes any difference though and whether or not the filter behind is really is clean I don't know.
