I believe the same is accomplished by adding a leather mud guard to a metal fender. I've done that on my Atlantis with Berthoud fenders and I get excellent protection from splashes and also dirt and dust. My BB shell now stays clean. The tradeoff is I cannot hop off curbs but other than that, it's never been an issue.
