The cylindrical fender is the most common fender shape. Built with stainless steel D-rings located at the top and a bottom strap, this fender can be positioned vertically or horizontally (Models C84 and larger will need to use a Long Side Cover to positioned horizontally). The Fendertex® cylindrical textile fender offers high abrasion resistance. They are ultralightweight, easy to handle, and can be deflated and folded to minimize storage space.

2 - Long side ring
3 - Highly elastic inner tube, water can be added to act as ballast for the fender
4 - A technical textile made from polyester with high abrasion resistance. Does not absorb salt, thus avoiding micro scratches on the hull. Easy to clean with water or in a standard washing machine.
