They're not an alternative - they're just a different STYLE of front fender, and one that gives less protection than a full front fender. The advantage they have is that they're easy to put on and take off for people that only need ocassional protection and usually drive wet roads AFTER a rain, rather than DURING a heavy rainstorm.
