I use a bender fender and it's perfect no crap in face looks like it won't work but does had it on for two winters. Seems to me that for a really effective rear mudguard you'd have to have something full length otherwise you're still going to get a backstripe so I wear waterproofs or get muddy.

Hardtail, which I'm using as winter bike at the moment has crud catcher on down tube and on rear and steve peat fast fender up front.
Bike looks hideous but kept me almost spotless last winter

I'm just about to head out but if I remember I'll do a pic when I get back.
I've got a bender fender for the face, a crud catcher for the legs and a modified decathlon one for the rear.

Use crud catcher front and crud race rear. Also RRP neoguard. I stay surprisingly mud free despite the flithy conditions.
Will have a look at the other suggestions - very occassionally get mud in the eye

crud race guard on the back is good but is made of cheese, though better than the previous version. might have to try one of these here fender benders with my 90's clear crud catcher!

Rode the other day with just a crud-catcher in front, rather than big moto-style 'guards I'm used to.
Was horrid! I hate getting filth of indeterminate types in eyes/mouth/nose. Don't care what they look like, I'll stick with 'em.Posted 4 months ago # -
Bender fender, and a crud catcher on the downtube, keeps mud out of my eyes/mouth, being muddy everywhere else doesn't bother me.
Any fender at the back just swings to the left or right and so is rendered ineffective from experience...

Bender fender on my fs, bender fender copy and a sks x-blade on the ht. Waterproof shorts (well chopped down cheap trousers) help as well.
