I use a 8 inch fender and recently stopped using the fleece.

They are great and soft but, they seem to hold every splinter or wood fiber from docks . That was worse rubbing on my hull than just a plain fender.

I recently recovered mine in the Cobalt nylon version and so far so good!

Our uniform co. supplies us with them and wash them each week. I think they are made of cotton. Each of my techs use them.

They'll make a great pillow if nothing else.

Actually, why do you guys use those little sample sized fenders? There is no way to be confident in a scuff free day with little fenders. Someone buzzing by making a huge wake? So what.
They easily fit in the ski locker.
