POP Fender
INITIAL FINDINGS
Pop Fender endurance test
Seit Sommer 2024 ist der POP Fender bei nautic-markt.ch im intensiven Praxistest und zeigt bisher unter Extrembedingungen – wie starker Sonneneinstrahlung, Frost, Zugbelastung und Dauerbelastung im Wasser – keinerlei Formveränderung oder Materialermüdung. Its high dimensional stability, permanent buoyancy and space-saving design, which allows a reduction from 620 mm to 250 mm, are particularly impressive – ideal for yachts with limited storage space. The only point of criticism is the comparatively high price, but this is justified by the quality, workmanship and durability.
The POP Fender is now entering a five-year long-term observation period, having exceeded all expectations in the test phase to date – and even looks almost as good as new.
The new
boat fender system
Sophisticated design, perfect function, fair and first-class production entirely in Germany and Austria, short delivery routes, environmentally friendly materials – the boat fender from POP Fender and more…
Compact
Telescopic boat fender on both sides from 620mm to 250mm. This really saves space on the boat!
Inherently stable
The POP fender retains its shape and is unaffected by temperature fluctuations. This means it also works at sub-zero temperatures.
Never run out of air again!
You do not need an air pump. The POP fender cannot burst either – no valve problems.
Non-toxic & recyclable
The POP Fender is made of TPV – which is free of harmful substances & plasticisers, durable and recyclable.
No squeaking
Conventional boat fenders “stick” to the surface of the boat and cause the unpleasant squeaking noise. The POP fender does not stick or squeak and is therefore gentle on the hull.
Gentle on the hull
The POP fender is gentler on your boat hull than conventional PVC boat fenders because it does not stick to the surface. You don’t need fender socks!
Works under water
The POP fender is the first boat fender that can also be used under water.

less space required
THE DEVELOPMENT
THE boat fender
for future
generations!
The idea was born out of a clear necessity: more space on the boat! The ability to stow boat fenders quickly and easily is pure luxury on the boat.
Besides its small size, the POP Fender has much more to offer: the use of more environmentally friendly material, no squeaking, less streaking, it is washable and can be ordered in many colors on request.
FIELD TEST
More space on your boat!
Conventional fenders often find little or no room in the angled storage compartments on boats. Due to the telescopic nature of the POP Fender, this problem is history!
Fancy
a little
more color?
Popfender is available in 24 different color combinations.
