I am looking at either the Mountain Hardweard Downtown or the Mammut Vinson. Also I need to find a good rain shell but do not want to spend more than 100-200$. I will be using these will backpacking in Europe.

don't buy anything with goose down, if it gets wet, you get cold and miserable. go with a good synthetic, like thinsulate, goretex, or even a light weight wool.
