These fenders make me regret having purchased the old rubber inflatable sausage style fenders. They're rugged, look to be nigh on indestructible, can't possibly deflate, and should provide many years of use. Sizing looks to be more than adequate for my boat. Having them come with the rope and slide-locks, as well as the mesh carry bag, only make it an even easier decision. I won't be buying any other style fender in the future. The carry bag looks to be strong enough to hold up to repeated use. The only possible negative for me is that I'd ding them half a star because I'd like to see the mesh bag be just a bit taller. The drawstring won't close completely , but would if the bag were an inch or two longer. It's not a dealbreaker, but seems like a point that could have been caught in design.
