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.
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!
