I gave it 4 stars due to not using them yet., and.

I love the color they match my boat well.I like the hole size for the rope.I love I don't have to inflate them.I like that they seem durable.I don't like the smell, very chemical like.I don't like the fact they still smell hanging up in my garage for over 2 monthsOverall I like them, but not looking forward to the smell in the box they're gonna be stored in on my boat.

Pros
  • Great buy, just what I wanted. Arrived on time.
Cons
  • They can be prone to punctures and tears

Perfect for PWC best in my review

Got a couple of the 3.5" x 12.8" size to use when temporarily tying my PWC up to a dock or other boats. I use 3/8" x 5' dock lines with these bumpers and they've served their purpose perfectly thus far.

Pros
  • Returned as wrong size
Cons
  • They can create extra drag when moving through the water

Great product. Highly recommend.

tried them out and they seem to work fine. Have only used them once, but didn't have a problem with them. I just wish they would come with a rope option.12/26/2018 - I wanted to add an update to this item. I’ve been using them on my boat for awhile now. I have four of them, two on each side of my boat. They work great. They hold air and I’ve never had a problem with them going flat. As boaters know, some of the boat launch areas have horrible docks. I’ve been thrown up against metal, jagged…

Pros
  • The quality of this fender is very good for the money. It seems it will last for many years.
Cons
  • They can interfere with boat maneuverability

Great fenders for the money, but not exactly as ordered

These are great quality and the price can't be beat. However, beware. I ordered 4 white and received 2 white, one blue and one gray. These are going to remain tied to my slip 24/7 so I don't have to worry about dropping fenders as I pull in to the marina, so the color isn't a huge issue, but still, I expect to get what I ordered.

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • They may not fit all types of boat cleats

Great purchase for any boat owner!

I use these on my 26' Glacier Bay Catamaran. They are just big enough for the sides and hold up to boats tied up next to you or when the current is strong and decides to take you into the dock. It came two to one box and the third one was in it's own box. The color looks great with the white boat and I will definitely be buying more of these in the future. If you were to go to some of the large marine retailer stores, you would end up paying almost double for the same quality. I really like…

Pros
  • Get the boat today, will tell more after Have tried.
Cons
  • They may not be suitable for larger boats with multiple docking points

A must for pontoons

We have a 22 ft pontoon and these are a must for tying up with other boats. Great color and have worked well on our docks for added protection when docking. This is the 3rd set we have purchased.

Pros
  • Great quality. Arrived exactly as advertised...would purchase again.
Cons
  • They can create a hazard if not properly secured

great fenders - my new review

We have used this style of fender exclusively for years for our ski boat. Occasionally we lose them and have to replace them. Have never had one go flat or bad on us.

Pros
  • ‎Adult
Cons
  • They may not be suitable for all types of climates

Great boat fenders best in my review

Choice of colors and sizes. The quality is there for these fenders. I have a set of G2 fenders for my 14 foot Crestliner for protection of boat and decals. Work as designed. Recommend

Pros
  • Worked as planned.
Cons
  • They may not be suitable for all types of boaters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exact fit replacement

This one matches perfectly the one I lost. I prefer this brand as I have had great performance from them over 19 years of use.

Pros
  • This fender ships as a single unit, pre-inflated, with a Polyform inflation valve to adjust pressure
Cons
  • They can be difficult to tie down in high wind conditions

Made from good material.

Hi everyone I did some measurements to try to help others in a faster way posible,, if you're looking for a Jetski size I will recommend size G-1, it will go perfectly with a jetski, I purchased two of them to protect my jetski as much as posible from scratches when leaving it at docks. If you have a bigger boat then you must go with a BIGGER size. My comment it's base on the right size for a jetski. Hope this helps other.

Pros
  • Perfect in every way! Very happy with htem!
Cons
  • They can be difficult to clean and may require special cleaners

So far, they are Great.

If your tired of fenders that get flat or deflate, you'll be glad to find these have valves for inflation. You can be in charge of the pressure you desire, and for me that is a big plus. I've had so many fenders that deflate or lose air through the membrane in high heat/pressure conditions, I was happy to find these had a way to firm them back up. Nice colors and price point don't hurt either.

Pros
  • Worked as expected and doesn’t break the bank like Taylor Made brand
Cons
  • They can be easily damaged by other boats

Heavy duty to handle the job!

These heavy duty G5 bumpers are perfect for our 22’ tritoon! Ordered 2 more I was so pleased. They are heavy.but it’s a good sized not with a long side so they are what we need.

Pros
  • Boat Fenders
Cons
  • They may not be suitable for boats in tidal areas

Perfect for tying up to docks!

I purchased these to use with my new bass boat when tying up to docks. These are the soft vinyl that will not scratch gel-coat. In the past I had a set of cheap ones that were harder vinyl, after being tied to the dock for a few hours waiting for take off in a tournament, the wakes coming in caused the boat buoy to mare up the gel-coat. These won't!

Pros
  • Great buoys. I was disappointed they didn’t come with some small lengths of black rope.
Cons
  • They may not be suitable for all types of water depths

FYI for 18 to 22-ish foot powerboat captains.

I just wanted to put out this FYI for those trying to decide between G-4 vs G-5 sizes for 18 to 22-ish foot powerboats. After reading many of the reviews here and around the web, I bought these Fenders for my 2003 21 foot Bayliner Cuddy, and decided that the G-5 size was the best way to go. WRONG. Too damn fat! And I mean huge! I had no place to stow 'em! Yeah, if I was planning on spending the day on a log boom at the Hydro races with a boat on each side of me, I'd want 3 of these monsters on…

Pros
  • ‎05415359
Cons
  • They may not provide enough protection for extreme docking scenarios

I did not receive inflation adapters

I just finally pulled these out of the box to start using them. There are no adapters in the packaging to inflate them. I wish I had known that before ordering, and I would have gotten one. They do seem to be good quality. I just can't blow them up properly.

Pros
  • It's a big one GREAT
Cons
  • We bought these as extras to use to protect our boat in a boat parade. They look great and work great.

Working well so far, been two weeks. I .

Working well so far, been two weeks. I keep my boat in the water. Someone had stole my original fenders while it was still trailered so i got these to replace them, I hope the theif falls and breaks a leg. They do smell when you open them up so don't store it in your house before putting them on your boat, Place them outside or your garage.

Pros
  • Work great i use them as kayak outriggers fpr stabikity to be able to stand and fish.
Cons
  • They may not offer enough protection for rough docking

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Depends on the size you buy.

I bought G3 fenders prior to these, although they were too big, they allowed you to add air to them. The G2s do not; I didnt see anywhere it states this in the description. To add to the lack of air valve, one of the two I bought is under-inflated. A bit disappointed.

Pros
  • Great quality. Perfect size. Works great on my Yamaha 212
Cons
  • They can be affected by saltwater corrosion

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for my opinion

Little pricey but my husband loves these. We lost one on the lake and he was so bummed, I had to get another. Make sure you put them inside the boat before taking off! They work great when tied up with other boats etc.

Pros
  • great for tying up to docks or other boats.
Cons
  • They may need to be replaced frequently

As the title says, these compare to my taylor made fenders I had on my last boat and at about 10-15.00 cheaper per fender.which adds up when you buy 6 of them. Quality appears to be excellent. color is the perfect red as pictured. and unlike a lot of other budget fenders these have valves. I would highly recommend these if you are on the fence as I was between these or the taylor made fenders.

Pros
  • ‎G-4 | 6.5 × 22″
Cons
  • They may not be suitable for all types of boats with different shapes and sizes

Looks great with our boat!

Shipped quickly. Ordered two of the G3 size and they look great. One however has something loose and rolls around on the inside of it. It holds air so I decided I didn't want to pay to ship it back for an exchange.

Pros
  • ‎Interior/Exterior
Cons
  • They may not offer enough protection for boats with low freeboard
