Suspension forks for fenders.
Yes, I said it. Are there any reasonable-quality suspension forks that allow you to put on fenders? If you wanted to do some all-terrain touring and exploring and didn't want to do anything more challenging than jumping on a sidewalk or rolling down stairs or over tree trunks, is there anything available?

Not much fender experience here, but IIRC Marzocchi makes/made 'integrated fenders' for their forks.

A standard type of fender could be attached to a fork arch with a $2 Cateye light clamp and some packing.
If you can get a couple of these clamps that fit around the fork lowers, you could use them to attach the fender stays too.

As you see in the pic, there's no front part to these and I kind of wish the back part was longer.

This will keep your goggles clean:
add a crud catcher type apparatus for your downtube if you think you need it

Much snazzier than landscape-fabric-scrap-pilfered-from-the-Whistler-golf-course method.

Put a star nut in from the bottom of the steerer tube for a start. That will give you a place to install a fender.
