How can a grasshopper's exoskeleton be both an advantage and a disadvantage?

The advantage of a grasshopper's exoskeleton is that it protects from damage, but it does not grow. All arthropods must molt for they outgrow their shell and so a new exoskeleton appears underneath the old one, but it's soft (disadvantage: vulnerable to predators).
