SKS P-Series Longboards. Available in black or silver, and widths of 35, 45, 50, 55 and 65mm.

I always liked SKS P-series fenders, except for their length. For 2014, SKS combined the best features of the P-Series with the Longboard length. I spent $45 to try them. The front one reaches down to just below two inches from the road surface. It makes a tremendous difference. This winter, not only were my BB, crankset, chain, RD, and cassette the cleanest they've ever been (bearing in mind that clean is a relative term) but so were my feet. So there are two more sets on order for three-seasons use.

Note: The rear fender is too long for me to use. I have to move my bikes around at home and at work standing up on their back wheel, "bike shop style". The rear longboard is too long to allow this. So essentially, I spend $45 for just a front fender. I still consider it a deal.
