I recommend a pack cover, that comes with most big backpacks.
Layers are yours friends, usually have 5 layers. (2 stay in the bag, unless it gets way cold or way rainy)
-shirt (cotton or wool)
-cheap thermal top (usually stays in bag)
-merino wool hoodie
-lightweight coat (wool, mini puff, fleece)
-breathable rain shell (usually stays in bag)
I highly highly recommend wool especially thin wool hoodies. Keeps you warm and it breathes. A cotton shirt is fine to wear underneath, but cotton kills. Don’t wear a big cotton sweater, it’s awful.
An example of a wool merino hoodie.

A good fleece jacket or tiny mini puff down or merino wool jacket(think something to protect for wind, but not rain.) wear all the time, but could double as a pillow(put a pillow cover over it, boom it’s your pillow)
Something that is warm, but breathable.
Remember breathable, and lightweight.
Icebreaker, KuHL, Patagonia, NAu, REI has good choices. Find what works for you.
I also highly recommend the Patagonia rain shell, very light weight and breathable. The worse is wearing a poncho and sweating.
The shell is spendy, north of $115, but worth it, and condensed into a quart size bag.

Extra: my hands get cold I recommend cheap wool fingerless gloves come in handy
