Enlightened Equipment Enigma 20F, Tremarest NeoAir XLite (go for XTherm if you want warmer, but XLite is enough). Wouldn't use a 30F bag if temps can get low enough. I basically use this kit in PNW in those temps you listed. I just wear a puffy and fleece leggings on sub-freezing days if I need a bit more warmth, and it's nice to anyway since climbing out of the bag does not feel cold if you are not naked.
I use 20F quilt in summer in PNW, in June I would take it up to 6000 feet. Enlightened Equipment Enigma 20F would have you covered for $256 right now. Get 10F model and a draft collar if you want a bit of extra warmth security.
192cm here. Long versions of Feathered Friends, Western Mountaineering, or Enlightened Equipment bags. For your temp range I use 20F EE quilt. For a tent, you can also get something longer. I use Tarptent Rainbow which leaves me with almost 30 cm to spare length wise.
Enlightened equipment. Chose your temperature, fill and size. They make wuits but the convert is awuilt with a zipper. My 20 deg bag weights 18 oz. I got the regular wide so it airy in the summer and i can wear a poofy wirth a hood when its ccols as i i like climbing mountains and backcountry skiing. I couldnt imagine a better bag. Been sleeping outside since 95.
I use a summer quilt for warm nights and an Enlightened Equipment Enigma 20°F (950 fill power) quilt for colder ones. And my pad is thermarest neoair nxt r4.5.
I used [Apex100](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/s/7ZnTBu2xdk). I am also a super cold sleeper. My [20F EE Enigma](https://imgur.com/a/2s5OIhf) with all my layers is cold at 35°F. I do have to insist that a 660g 8 to 9°C comfort bag sucks, no matter how cold OP sleeps. Especially comparing to my diy quilt which is similarly rated, way lighter and sythetic. I mean, the weight difference is so much that you could layer an entire additional [3°C comfort rated Cumulus quilt](https://cumulus.equipment/en/eu/p/quilts-and-comforters-neo-quilt-300) on top, be waaay overkill for even the coldest of sleepers, and still be lighter than the rab piece of junk.
I have the EE 20F enigma. It works well for southern utah. If you feel cold in it at low temps I recommend a bivy. It keeps drafts away and will keep you warm enough. Are you a cold sleeper? What’s the lowest temp you have used it in?
I have an EE Revelation 850 & an EE Enigma 950. Both 20°, 10D inner and outer. I haven’t had any problems with drafts or down leakage in either but the 850 fill is significantly warmer and doesn’t have issues with down migrating. I will soon be selling the 950 because it just isn’t warm enough.
EE quilts are straight up poorly designed too. Their baffles shift down to the sides and EE was a well-documented down under-filler before they finally owned up to it. Between the two, Katabatic is a far better buy.
I have the 20f quilt and I would trust it down to 30f if you have the attachment points. Without those you’ll have drafts.
My SO sleeps cold. Thermarest Trail Pro - they used to make a women's specific one. I may upgrade this to the Nemo Tensor All Season for a holiday gift. Feathered Friends Egret - I take this from her when I go climbing it's so cozy I sleep warm- I freaking cook: Nemo Tensor All Season EE Enigma 30 950 fill
Marmot Mad River 0° is currently on sale at REI for $250. Kelty Cosmic Down 0° is the standard inexpensive option. EE *has* had their quilts on sale recently. If you want to go the quilt route you should be able to get a 0° Enigma for around $400. That will be your lightest and most compact option.
