Ok, so I'm debating between the regular R4, the lightweight R4 and the R3. I want something to use as a midlayer under a light technical shell jacket, but also something to wear around town without looking like a tool. I like how the R3 looks more the the R4, but I don't know how functional/warm/practical/dirt-resistant it is. The R4 seems more useful, since it's warmer and has the chest vent pockets. Help?

I'd say it depends on what you're doing! Anything aerobic, I'd definitely recommend the R3 - its light enough to be functional and blocks wind really well. The R4 is certainly warmer, but also thicker and I feel like one might have a tendency to overheat, but for resort skiing it might be nice. The lightweight R4 would also be a great compromise between the two! And yes, I think the R3 looks better too - especially for around town...
