Trouble with the Hardshell is you end up soaked with sweat as there isn't any breathability. The plus of that jacket is how robust it is. I had a crash in mine that left me off the bike for three months, but the jacket got minimal damage.

What does that do to the breathableness of it then? I'm intrigued, as the hardshell is a bit of a manky sweatbox even on short commutes, but as @clem-fandango said, very durable.

it works ok. I did it to my gf's soft-shell. it wears off, but I didn't think it did any faster than the covering on my rain jacket. ime only the hardshell is properly waterproof
