In keeping with the Polyform tradition of quality, the HTM (hole-through-middle) boat fender was designed to provide maximum protection in a wide variety of applications. Vertical ribs for extra protection, reinforced tube ends to prevent lines from pulling through if the fender gets caught in a tight spot, and extra wall thickness to resist punctures and tears are just a few of the features this high-quality fender has to offer. The HTM-Series fender is designed to provide protection and stand-off for larger vessels between 20 to 50+ feet in length. Choose from several sizes and a variety of Polyform colors.

Thank you for the excellent review! We are glad the HTM-Series fenders live up to their expectations, and aren't damaging your wrap. Thank you for the photo, too!
Store owner replied:
Thanks for the review and for adding the image of the products on your vessel. We like to see our products in the wild. Thank you!
Had a small hiccup when ordering, got in a hurry and ordered the wrong color. They were very understanding and allowed me to return it for the correct color. Very easy to work with. Have had these fenders for 10 plus years, they hold up extremely well, a little care with keeping them clean and they still look brand new.
There's way to stark of a difference in size between the HTM-1 and HTM-2. The HTM is too small for my needs and the HTM-2 is too large. I really wanted the look of the purple fender but don't think it's going to work. My rating is not of the quality of the fender which seems to be pretty good but with my personal experience of whether it worked for me. I'm just disappointed in the lack of available size for a 26 foot boat.
Store owner replied:
We're sorry to hear the HTM fenders didn't fit your needs, Matt. If you don't mind going away from the hole-through-middle design, the F-02 twin eye fender may have a circumference that suits your boat size, also available in purple. Thank you for the feedback on the lack of options for a 26' boat, more sizes of fenders may be available in the future. We are sorry the HTM wasn't a fit for your boat, and hope you find the perfect fit!
I like them but they are too big for my boat so I ordered the next size down
Store owner replied:
Hi Timothy, we are glad to hear you like your new fenders! Sorry you had to order a second size. Hopefully the smaller size is a perfect fit so you can get back to enjoying your time on the water. Happy boating!
Just what I needed to protect my pontoon from the dock.
Store owner replied:
That's what we aim for, Robert! Polyform fenders are made to last, so you can depend on your HTMs to protect your pontoon for years to come.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the review! We appreciate that you purchased from us a second time. Repeat customers validate our dedication to making a product we can stand behind.
The fender blew out on one end. There was a lot of surge in the marina though. I would have thought it would last a couple of years not a couple of days.
Store owner replied:
Oh no, William! We are sorry to hear your item blew out. Look for an email from us to help fix this issue. We pride ourselves on our quality and durability, limiting failures as much as possible. In our early days, fishermen would ram into docks in an unsuccessful attempt to pop our buoys, so barring overinflation or defect, a surge should not cause such damage. Our inflation guide states the max circumference for each model, and should not exceed 2.1 PSI, see here https://polyformus.com/pages/boat-fender-buoy-inflation-guide
