My recommendation on a down jacket is to look at synthetic fill jackets first. Down has advantages but insulating when wet is not one of them, which is always a consideration on a backpack trip.

I have a Kifaru 20 degree slick bag and like it. The Neoair with a closed cell pad underneath is also a good choice for a pad.
