Surprised at the negative comments regarding the Hardshell. For sure it's too much for racing but for long base miles in cold & wet weather I find it without equal. Last years foul weather festive 500 was dusted off with panache in a winter jersey + hardshell.
The hardshell is snug but very breathable so the key is not to have too many layers on underneath. For the long base miles it really is the the King of jackets :)
