I agree, tried 2 or 3 serious rides in my Hardshell, and realised I'd wasted £200+ on a jacket I can't use.
I now use it for trips to the pub on my "pub bike" (which cost less than the jacket)
I have a hardshell i've only used twice for wet commutes. I've never used it for more than about 3miles at once though, i was hoping it might be a bit more usable in the winter, but it doesn't sound like it!
