I need to buy some knee/shinguards for a trip to the Alps but can't decide

that

Neither. Get the 661 4X4 Knee/shin guards.

The 4x4's suggested are heavy, for serious DH use. They cannot be put on,
taken off easily.

those are not the 4x4s. That is the "Race" model.

here is the 4x4

That is just not true. First of all, the 4x4s are easy on and off with
velcro. Second, they are lightweight but solid protection. I can stick
them under the shock cord of my camelbak if I want to have them along but i
don't want to wear them. I'd recommend them as a great recreational pad for
those times when you want a little protection.

The 4x4 I had wouldn't go on over your shoes. Was the design changed.
I've had both and IMHO the Race model is better for traveling thru the Alps.

the ones I have open out flat and wrap around your legs and close with
velcro. Unless you have wierd shoes, I don't see how that would be a
problem.

I like the EVS SC04 myself. It doesn't bind and fit is great.
