Chromoplastics, Longboards or similar (I'd like to know what guard @tommmmmmm & @TM are talking about for £16) do have advantages: they're tough, and they don't bend/dent.
I'm not sure how tough people have found PDWs really.
My son's GBs have sustained quite a few dents, and the bike is really not getting that much use/abuse.
Cracked Chromoplastics and VO fenders in the past. PDW seem to be holding up but wouldn't have paid £70 for them. Wish they had rolled edges or something to channel the water out of them, even with good flaps there still seems to be quite a bit of crap deposited on the bike (not feet thankfully)
