Anon. Baffles. This jacket is baffled like a sleeping bag and the baffles are what keep the down in place. You can either sew through a jacket or you can baffle a jacket. The reason you would want to build a jacket with baffles is because it gets rid of cold spots. On a sewn through jacket, each stitch line represents a cold spot. This is fine for lighter weight or thinner down jackets. But, if you are building a jacket for warmth... baffles are the only way to go. I hope this info helps!
