For a hardtail. Anyone tried both, zefal is dirt cheap but the mudhugger looks a good idea.
i've got a mud hugger, i like the fact it stays put and its no faff compared to post mounted guards ive tried but it is more of a chore if you like to take it off and put it back on depending on the conditions, if it's gonna stay on all winter it's a fit and forget item
sorry can't give an opinion on the zefal
I've got the Zefal. Not the mud hugger as they don't do one fir a 29er, but something very similar but the 26" mudhugger has a bit more wheel coverage so I'd imagine it'd work better. However, mine works fine. It doesn't keep my backside completely dry, but keeps the direct impingement of mud and water off you. I went out yesterday on the rain for about 2.5 hrs. My bum was damp but not wet, it certainly wasn't cold and miserable. The only benefit over the mudhugger as far as I can see is that it can be removed and refitted in seconds by one 5mm Allen screw each side, but to be fair, I'll be keeping it on till spiring and things start to dry up.
You'll be fine with either.
Got a mudhugger, definitely fit and forget stuff and works a treat - on my winter hardtail....

Mines on my 29er
Damn ipad keyboards! I meant my Zefal guard is not the No Mud as they don't do that model for 29ers, but it's practically the same except the No Mud had more coverage. Similarly the mudhugger has more coverage than mine. Went for the zefal one due to the ease of removal and refitting, but in reality I'll just keep it on till spring so not necessarily the advantage I'd thought.
I had the zefal on my mega, running a 2.35 on the back It was pretty much ineffective.
Lovin my mudhugger fit and forget for the moist months protects th reverb an ass!
Looks batlike!

Mudhugger for sure
Mudgugger 29er version available at end of Jan, I've got the front one which is excellent
I have a Zefal no mud on my full suspension bike. It works well for me.
Mudhugger fitter to my camber and works great..not the best looking thing but it works.
