Raleigh Willard 2 Fenders

Anyone out there have a good recommendation for fenders for a Raleigh Willard 2? 700x40c wheels and fender mounts. Thanks.

Sorry for the hijack. I don't know of any fenders, but I would love to hear a little more about your bike... perhaps in another thread?

It's all good. I love the bike and for where I live it's perfect for riding the roads and transitioning to trails. I don't have much to compare it to though it being my first gravel bike but so far so good.

I've never put fenders on a Willard specifically, but I've found a polycarbonate fender without the bolts holding it on the rails is better for any unpaved surface due to less rattling.
Left image is what is better for rough roads, and right is what's going to give noise.
