What Are Fendertex® Boat Fenders?
Fendertex® fenders are inflatable textile fenders designed for protecting a boat’s hull during docking and rafting. They use a patented, high-tech knitted textile outer layer paired with an internal bladder to absorb impact and resist abrasion in demanding marine conditions.
For boaters who want strong protection without bulky PVC fenders, these textile fenders offer a notably lighter, easier-to-handle option that also packs down small when deflated.
Why Choose Fendertex®?
- Shape options: Cylindrical, spherical, and tandem models support common docking scenarios and hull geometries.
- Customization: Multiple sizes and colorways help match boat layout and style.
- Durability: High-tech polyester textiles provide strong abrasion resistance and UV protection for long service life.
- Space efficiency: Deflatable construction stores compactly, reducing clutter in lockers and lazarettes.
- Easy handling: Lightweight build makes lifting, positioning, and solo deployment simpler.
Fendertex® Accessories and Air Pumps
To get the most from inflatable textile fenders, pair them with the right accessories. These add protection, simplify set-up, and help maintain proper inflation.
- Fender covers: Add a sacrificial layer that reduces chafe, staining, and surface wear.
- Air pumps: Make quick work of topping off pressure before docking or after temperature changes.
