Continental Gatorskin Vs Hardshell
What is the difference between these 2 tires?
There is no clear cut difference in the website. Both seem to be oriented towards puncture protection.

The hardshell looks like it adds a mesh under the protective layer (or "PolyX shell").
as comaprd the the regular gatorskin that only has the PolyX:
I've only used the regular gatorskin folding tires and like them so far.
