Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Linked in a thread on cycling to work. The one comment links a post about soft shell jeans for bike commuting and asks for thoughts on soft shell pants, so the linked post covers cycling clothing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Any thoughts on soft shell pants? http://snarkynomad.com/soft-shell-jeans-the-worlds-greatest-... I definitely miss not having chain guard and fenders with Seattle weather, but have switched over to a raincoat and boots for biking. Waterproofing the commute is totally worth it.
