Mudguards for road bikes

With the weather turning, leaves dropping off the trees and chilly mornings  it's almost time to start thinking about sorting the winter machinery to see me through to the end of March.  There's one aspect of 'the winter bike' which is always the most difficult to master: mudguards.   
Finding mudguards to fit nicely on to a road bike is something of a minefield.  Having tried various types over the years, I've never been taken with the 'race blade' type which do little to keep either you, or the person riding behind you, dry.
The ones I've settled on now, and are pretty bloody good, are the Crud RoadRacer Mk 2.
I particularly like the section on the rear guard close to the bottom bracket where it flares out keeping your front mech clear - very nice touch.
Crud: anything but
So, with these little beauties on, it can rain as much as it wants - within reason.
