I'm taking a Vango Halo.
It's heavy at 3.5kg but on a motorcycle pack size is more important than weight. The reason I chose it over some lighter tents is that it is mostly free-standing (being a semi-geodesic dome). As it's not a super lite style tent, it's very strong and sturdy, and should easily manage to stand up to the fierce winds of patagonia.
I also carry titanium rock pegs for when I encounter difficult ground.
Sleeping bag is a down filled Mountain Equipment Classic, good for -15c if you know what you're doing.
A quality mat is essential. Otherwise you'll lose any warmth gained frmo being in your sleeping bag. Something like an Exped Downmat is light and warm, but there are quite a few stories of failures, so maybe try the Klymit Static V insulated or other insulated type mat.
