it's kind of funny, the Cascade mudflap may be longer than other mudflaps but the actual fender it attaches to doesn't extend down as far as the regular PB or SKS fender so you only get another inch or so of actual coverage. One good thing about the Cascadia fender is that the bottom strut mounts higher so toe strikes don't get stuck on the strut.
note to Mgurtzweiler, get waterproof socks if you're going to be riding through standing water a lot. Maybe I haven't experienced the perfect front mudflap but it seems to me that riding through standing water and turning sends up water that flaps just won't get.
