Biggest thing was the shape. The SKS are very square and were super tricky to fit to my frame - the gap between the tyre and frame is roundish and so a square guard didn't really fit.
Also the mounting hardware. The SKS stay goes inside the mudguard and so takes up a lot of space. And fits with a little plastic clip and silicone spacer. The whole lot came unclipped in the woods and I lost the spacer. Then lost both clip and spacer from the other guard.
Pelagos guards have none of these issues, were hassle free to fit and cost me €55, so value is decent

I'm halfway through installing some Pelago 700x55 mudguards on my gravel bike. Much better than than the SKS Edge I had on there before. And decent value compared to some of the others I looked at.
