Rainy Season has become in NorCal. Me and my Rise got completely trashed with Mud yesterday. What options people running Rear Mudguard - I'm running 27.5 x 2.6. Any suggestions? I would like to keep mud my off me and my bike.

I have the SKS Mudrocker and happy with it
 
Mudhugger FR fitted backwards on rear wheel. This works really well to keep the linkages and switch clean. I trimmed what was the curved front of the mudguard to a straighter shape.
I use an ass-saver lightweight thing under the seat to keep my back relatively clean an dry.

I have always used a mudhugger FRX on the back (as per the post a bove) all year round, then in the winter fit a mudhugger rear over the top of them using re-useable zip ties. That way I can have the rear mudhugger on when it is needed or off when it is not, whilst the FRX continues to protect the pivot bearings etc all year round.

For a 27.5 you need the medium sized rear mudhugger. They dont look nice but virtually nothing else works as well to keep both the bike and rider dry and clean.
 
I live in the OR on the coast and have used fenders to varying effect for years. What I have finally decided is that the most coverage you can get is best damn the looks of the bike. I experimented on a rear fender I had adding more and more to it until there was no evidence of anything on my back. The MudRocker as suggested came the closest to what I ended up with.

It also does a great job of keeping crap out of the pivot/bb area as well with the extender it comes with.

I got the Mucky Nutz front fender though because I liked the looks of it better and was cheaper than the MR version. I recently added some more to both the front and back of the fender to see just how much spray I can stop getting in my eyes and downtube area where my battery resides.

Just did a 20 mile ride in wet conditions and this is what my jacket looks like after......
 
Now that is genius, franciscoasismm! Love it :)
I went with a SKS Mudrocker rear too, with an RRP Proguard Max in the front.
 
Mudhugger front and rear on both of my bikes. Been on for a few years and best I've ever used.
 
RRP Front Mudguard work really well on the rear. As you can see in the photo, there are a lot of rock chips that could have been avoided, had I installed it earlier.
