    Hey Knot,
    What kind of switchback do you have? Is it the pullover? What color? Do we perchance have the same one?
    I love my Ibex switchbacks- I have a persimmon & a charcoal pullover, and a persimmon vest. I love the persimmon color for traffic visibility.

    It was raining today on my ride so I wore my lightweight Gore biking rainshell with just one micro merino base layer under it. I was really hot and sweaty in that shell. I much prefer my wool layers that keep me warm yet they breathe and I can feel air exchange going on. I might prefer being wet and wooley than dry and sweaty.

    I have the full zip Switchback in a "marguerite" purple-y blue. The color of dried lavender flowers.

    I wear it as a jacket.

    and I too would rather be comfortably damp and wooly than miserably steamy and sweaty in the rain.
