My feathered friends egret is one of my favorite things I own. Having the toe box in the right place makes all the difference. I got the 30 yf and I’ve not been cold in it yet
I thought that I was a cold sleeper until I upgraded my sleeping bag and got one that is the proper length (I am 5ft5 and got a women sleeping bag for 5ft6 women). It made an incredible difference in how the sleeping bag keeps and uses my own body heat. I got the Feathered Friends Egret 20 yf. I pair it with a Big Agnes Rapide Sl pad and it is now my preferred piece of gear!
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:

Feathered Friends has short bags for women. Temp ratings are spot on. The YF bags save $ over the UL for very slight weight increase. They also have a kids Flicker; 5ft hoodless bag that can unzip to quilt. I have a regular YF 30 that I love. Worth a phone call.
I'd been using a Marmot for 30 yrs, what they called a 10-20 30. Don't remember the price but it was the most expensive thing I bought for a very long time and glad I did. There were not as many choices back then and I don't think they are the same now. Point is it was annoying when it was warm.
Couple of years ago I got a Feathered Friends Flicker 40. It's a hoodless sleeping bag that can also open all the way to a quilt. (no it doesn't attach to a pad) Had that down to mid 30's cowboy camping in the desert and was fine with a puffy on. I had wanted a 30 but out of stock. This year sold the 40 and got a 30 for a trip to Iceland in July. I'm very happy with it; works well across temps. Combined with the Marmot gets me down to 0. Since it is a bag when I want it's less fuss than a lot of the quilts out there. (love the draft collar and the foot closing completely). You can rent one and they will credit up to 2 nights rental cost toward a similar purchase. May help but likely incur some extra shipping costs unless you're in their area.
