Jules. From what I can tell, the Baffin Jacket has much less insulation than the Compressor Jacket. They both use a similar shell material. The Compressor Jacket is made with a 15D Nylon Ripstop Shell and is insulated with 120grams of Primaloft ECO. The Baffin weighs 10oz. and the Compressor weighs 19oz. (M''s Large... some say this is high and the specs are wrong) and this difference is probably due to the amount of insulation in the jacket. I hope this info helps!
