Do the rules of down sleeping bags apply to jackets as well? Can I put my down jacket in a compression bag while on the trail as long as I don't long term store it compressed? Thanks in advance for advice.

Same rules apply. Never OVER compress either. I compress my down at the trailhead. Then take out of the stuff sack as soon as the tent is set up.
