SHAGGE - The jacket has climawool "cirrus" on the front. How does that compare in weight to the "lite" on my el Fitos? Is it a lot heavier? Is the Dash Hybrid as a whole going to be warmer than my Switchback? A little more wind resistant?

How about the fabric on the back of the Dash Hybrid? How does it compare to the Switchback or el Fitos?

I *want* this jacket, especially at $115. But it's got to be a warmer heftier more outer-wear kind of jacket than my Switchback or I just can't justify it.

my oldest woolies are from the 80's but i bought them second hand, so I'm not sure.

I went to Value Village this weekend expecting to find all sort of marvellous things but i was sadly mistaken. THey had UGLY stuff.

Now that the storm has started (gee, what great timing!) I'm gonna walk down to the pawn shop down the street and see what they'd give me for my old diamond engagement/wedding set.

I waaaaaaant another Ibex.... waaaaaaant!

Tell me about it. I was all ready to ride my bike to t he mechanix.
Now I am accepting a ride from a coworker. 40mph sustained winds are not my idea of a fun ride in the rain~!

Bummer. Shop won't even give me enough to buy an Ibex.

Guess I'll have to try another shop. Poopy.

Ibex are more precious than diamonds.

I've got woolies from the 70s. A LS Protogs T-shirt. Stil-long long underwear pants. A wool balaclava. Wool Dachstein mittens. Wool fishnet underwear. Some of the old stuff has moth holes.

My Stil-long underwear is the dark blue men's with fly. The women's only came with stirrups under the feet and in powder blue.

Hi Again Knotted Yet,

The Climawool Cirrus material on the front of the Dash Hybrid jacket is similar in weight to the Climawool Lite on your El Fitos, but the Cirrus is more weather (wind and water) resistant. The fabric on the back more like the fabric of the El Fitos (a stretchy knit wool)

I wouldn't describe it as "heftier" than the Switchback, but it is definitely more of a performance piece and I think well worth the investment. Don't forget we are very liberal with our exchange/return policy--take it for a ride and see if it works for you!
