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 agree. The lightweight R4 is an amazing and versatile jacket. It's not bulky, but does a good job at keeping you warm. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

I have the R4 lightweight and I prefer it over the other 2 jackets you mentioned, especially for what you plan to use it for. The LW R4 is definitely the most versatile, and imo best looking.
