I run SKS. Partially because I have no mounts on the frame and the low seat stay wont fit most fenders. And partially because I can easily move them to all my bikes with a minimum amount of setup.
As mentioned these are minimal enough to get by. They have no cover on the front of the front wheel and in very wet conditions you will get road spray in your face. They are not quite wide enough to keep your feet dry through puddles or flooded roads.
But for most of what I ride in (PNW here as well) they do well. They are great in a "dry rain" where the roads are wet and it's more of a drizzle but not a downpour. Once you get into a heavy wet rain they only prevent a percentage of the water from soaking your feet.
The best part about them is that in less than a minute I can mount them or take them off and can easily swap them across bikes.
