C.P. Company's Diagonal Fleece ($270) and Stone Island's Compass-Badge pant ($295) are close cousins, both ~13oz garment-dyed cotton fleece in a clean tapered cut with the same design house lineage. Stone Island's fleece is described as slightly heavier and built to hold colour, and the $25 gap mostly buys the compass badge over the lens detailing. The fabric and construction are otherwise a near match.

Which should you buy?
These two are so close that branding is the deciding factor. Take the C.P. Company at $270 if the lens-goggle detail is the identity you want and you'd rather save $25. Pay up for the Stone Island only if the compass badge matters to you, with the marginally heavier fleece as a minor bonus. Neither fabric justifies the gap on its own, so let the badge you actually want make the call.
