Does anyone use them? If so how do they rate compared to the TaylorMade Supergard?

I had a set of cheaper TaylorMade fenders a few years ago that wore the stripes off the boat.

Polyform are top notch. Any fender will wear on your boat if you don't use a good soft cover on them. And keep the cover clean and dirt free.
 
I like the elongated B2 & B3's and attach them to the permanant dock as they rest against the planking & joists/beams and still stick out beyond the pilings to keep the boat safely cushioned . I just clean them every couple weeks with suds , brush and Magic Eraser. As every offshore fisherman knows they make great easy-retrieve anchor buoys , and I've used them in bunches to move 1+ ton block moorings quite a distance.

But I still use TaylorMade or similar 10" dia. fenders with soft, washable fleece covers to attach to the boat.
 
I just bought a new set of Polyform from BoatFix to replace a verl old and grungy looking set of Taylor Made.

I'm in the process of making a set of covers for the Polyforms and will carry those on the boat. I will afix the old Taylor Made's to my dock.

I use the A3's and love them. Friend has 6 A4's on a houseboat, and thinks they are the best.
 
Even a fender with a cover will wear a vinyl stripe off. They should be set so they don't rub on the stripes.
 
I have Polyform G-5's. No problems and clean up easily with a little softscrub and a brush.
