There's nothing to add about these fenders. A top-quality product, highly durable, UV-resistant, extremely satisfied. I'll only buy Polyform Norway from now on.

I've had this model on board for decades. The fender does what it's supposed to, and I've never had one fail. The problem is always the surface, especially the top. Like all PVC fenders, the surface facing the sun gets sticky and greasy after a few months.
If I don't want to get myself or my boat covered in grime, I have to buy a new fender. Great!
I would rate the shipping five stars. It was very fast and went smoothly. However, I'm not thrilled with SVB's request to review the products immediately upon receipt, as they couldn't be properly tested at that point. On that note, one of the four fenders I purchased had a defective valve. While this isn't a major issue, as I can certainly exchange it, 25% of the products were unusable.
Furthermore, I've noticed that the salt crystallization around the fill valve when used in saltwater creates ideal conditions for the valve to be damaged during refilling. Overall, after using the product, I found it to be of average quality for a marine-grade price. The products that weren't defective have been in use for two months. I hope they last a bit longer than one season and will continue to report on their performance.
