Dschela. The Atom LT and the Compressor PL Insulated Jacket are very similar jackets. Both use a nylon shell and the Atom uses a little bit of Polartec Powersheild as well. The main difference, as far as I can tell is that the Compressor uses 120grams of Primaloft Eco and the Atom LT uses 60grams of something called Coreloft. Not sure what this is... but I imagine it is their proprietary version of a short staple insulation. So, if this is the case... the Compressor will be warmer. Hope this info helps!
