Looking in to getting a set, anything to particularly look out for? I mean, they're no the most technical of things, but I would like something that works well and is tough

Sheldon Brown tells you pretty much all you need to about fenders here (although note that the brand he refers to, ESGE is now called SKS)

i have an SKS rear fender that i occasionally use. it clamps on the seat post, which is good and bad. good = if you crash the fender ususally does not break, it just slides around. the bad = it slides around. you have to constantly check it. on big hits, your rear wheel wil push it upwards so that it's at about a 45* angle or more. i rarely bother with it anymore.
just bring 2 changes of clothes with you and let the mud fly!

I second this recommendation. I've tried a lot of different fenders in the past and they all ended up getting ripped off the bike after a few runs. Get some tear-offs for your goggles and some spare clothes and resign yourself to getting filthy. Originally Posted by Ripzalot

I never used there rear fender, but the fronts worked well.Since then it's been a book you read in reverse, so you understand less as the pages turn.
The things you find on the net.
