It's lightweight and straightforward to install and remove. The fender has been an excellent addition to my bike for rides during and after rainfall, keeping me free of dirt and mud. Overall, I highly recommend the Portland Design Works Origami Rear Fender to anyone looking for a convenient and effective solution for keeping yourself clean during wet conditions.

Review by trptdocReviewed 2/27/2017by trptdocCycling EnthusiastAptos, CA6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.excellent sturdyI have two of these, one lives on a bike overseas. I bought a second one, and it is even better, they changed the material on the strap that cinches the fender to the seat post, and it holds better than the original, and the company then replaced the strap for my old one. Excellent.

Review by jdawg420Reviewed 5/14/2020by jdawg420Cycling EnthusiastPDX2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Works GreatI didn't know what to expect, but I trusted the minds at Portland Design Works and am very satisfied. I've been using this and the corresponding front fender with great success on rides when it's just starting to sprinkle or has just finished raining. I thought the plastic would be cheap, but it's totally cool. Just make sure this one's on tight or it may move around. Overall great and does just what I need it to. Very easy to take off on the sunny days.

Review by eddie1966Reviewed 1/18/2019by eddie1966Daily CommuterOlympic Peninsula, WA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Easy on and easy offI wasn't sure if I would like this fender as I have had other seat post mounted fenders for mountain bikes before that tended to move around. This one is mounted on a gravel bike. So far it's been excellent. Easy to set up and mount and goes on and off the bike in a few seconds. The mount seems better than the ones I've used in the past and so far I've had no issues with it. The price was reasonable. This is a very light fender and it comes off quickly to stow in the webbing on my commuter pack.

Review by PabloReviewed 1/9/2017by PabloCompetitive RacerMaryland4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Easy fix for the rainThis rear fender is very easy to set up and adjust, and offers excellent protection against rear wheel spray. The seatpost grippper stays firmly in place, so you don't have to deal with it sliding mid-ride and exposing you back end to water. The fender itself also detachesre-attaches to the mounting bracket, which makes the fender versatile for changing conditions like a wet ride to work and a dry ride home.

Review by Double DReviewed 9/25/2020by Double DCycling EnthusiastTulsa, OK / Alexandria, VA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Great rear fender option!I bought one of these several years ago for my fixie/single speed urban commuter. Recently purchased another for my gravel bike. Light weight, portable, easy to put on and get off the bike and does what it's supposed to do. My experience is it is also very secure despite some comments I've seen in other reviews - just a matter of understanding the mechanics of the latch system. Would highly recommend based on price and functionality.

Review by BrianReviewed 12/26/2019by Brianportlandia2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Pretty dang good, butI like this fender. It attaches easily, and has adjustments for angle. But it always seems to come loose, and its off center, and I have to stop and tighten the strap.
Definitely need something like this for the front wheel.

Review by sswannabeReviewed 1/14/2019by sswannabePortland, OR2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Solid rear snap on fenderGot this rear fender to match the Origami front fender on my CX bike that doesn't have fender mounts as I ride this bike in the wet off season and gravel rides so looking for something unobtrusive yet solid. Lightweight and solid but deducted a star as the strap that helps lock it to the seat tube tends to fall off when not in use as I take it off when carrying bike on a rack, etc.

Review by HockinatorReviewed 10/25/2018by HockinatorCompetitive RacerKirkland, WA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.A fender to keep your backside dry that is easy to travel withI bought this fender to bring along on a week long tour. It easily snaps apart and back together. So, it's easy to pack in a bag. I used it a couple of times during the tour. It performed well, keeping my backside free from road spray.

Review by samson801Reviewed 4/19/2012by samson801Cycling EnthusiastWashington DC11 of 11 customers found this review helpful.Lightweight, effective fenderNearly perfect fender, it's light, effective, easy to change between bikes, and it can fold away for easy storage. Not very theft-proof, but it's survived 4 months of parking in downtown Washington DC.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/20/2015by AnonymousCompetitive RacerPortland, OR4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Smart solutionI appreciate the ability to remove and store the flat, foldable portion of this fender in a back pocket (or anywhere else) without removing the clamping mechanism. It's a feature I wouldn't have thought I wanted but I've ended up putting it to use a lot. Smart stuff, PDW, as usual. I'm not sure about durability but if I haven't updated my review, it means there were no issues.

Review by TeeArghReviewed 12/9/2021by TeeArghCycling EnthusiastQuick and easyAwesome fender that is quick and easy to switch between or take off bikes. My only qualm is the overall weight, mostly involved in the mount piece, but for the price, I can't complain.
