Clearly barrier jackets can be breached, but that's as asinine as calling Signum or Nanoha a glass cannon because of it. Signum took a direct hit from Striker Stars and Divine Buster with just her barrier jacket. Came out just fine. Depending on how strong you are, barrier jackets are sturdy. Hayate should be capable of defending herself as well as Nanoha and others in terms of her shield/barrier/etc.'s durability.

But that's not exactly the same as being a glass cannon. Hayate is right in that she is most suited to standing back and firing off big spells... but that's going offensive. I presume that if she switched into a defensive mode with barriers and shields, she'd be well-protected (perhaps Yuuno-levels of defense or more). It's just that she'd have to essentially switch off all offense to do it, because she has to concentrate hard in how she channels her power.

Pretty much this, but her defenses would be superior to Yuuno's. Nanoha, at the start of A's, could breach his defenses with a powerful spell, but Nanoha herself in StrikerS could defend herself from a more powerful attack with Round Shield. Maybe Yuuno improved, lol. Hayate > Nanoha? I'm pretty sure. The fact that Curren could just stab her with a regular 'ol Katana is an impressive feat, not any knock to Hayate.
