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.

Jeez!! For the cost of the disco, you could get a Enlightened Equipment Revelation Down Quilt for almost the same price and use that for years to come. They are on sale now: [https://enlightenedequipment.com/revelation-sleeping-quilt/?utm\_source=google&utm\_medium=ppc&utm\_campaign=bp-competitor&utm\_content=&utm\_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=21046587331&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ\_qlG7aslkMdpIj3yBTZSRgbb&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWS08tM45BWVyuVTznUvETkL4IAIfNiinKu0Z99bFpLLZqmzUluLNjxoClZ8QAvD\_BwE](https://enlightenedequipment.com/revelation-sleeping-quilt/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=bp-competitor&utm_content=&utm_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21046587331&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ_qlG7aslkMdpIj3yBTZSRgbb&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWS08tM45BWVyuVTznUvETkL4IAIfNiinKu0Z99bFpLLZqmzUluLNjxoClZ8QAvD_BwE) I have four of them two synthetic, two down for different purposes and don't ever feel like I need to buy a $900 Feathered Friends quilt. EDIT: for your temps (I saw in your reply to another comment) go with a 20F quilt. EDIT #2: also get one down quilt or bag for your most likely temps. Then get a cheaper synthetic one (like the Revelation Apex) later for when you are going to be in warmer temps. I'd go with 50F. The secret to this setup is that when it is going to be really cold you can layer the 50F synthetic on top of the 20F down and it will be very warm and will manage moisture better. This is what I do now. I actually ended up giving my 0F and 15F down sleeping bags to my son because I just don't use them. See this article on layering quilts it even has a chart that show the effective rating when layering different temp rated quilts: [https://support.enlightenedequipment.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002770588-How-to-layer-quilts-for-sub-zero-camping?utm\_source=google&utm\_medium=ppc&utm\_campaign=bp-performance-max&utm\_content=&utm\_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=21496859184&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ\_qRsFxJ09dZ0STXvgtbFCdIq&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWea7SwIxtOseSUudWDwoakqQmHjDXbKwJCmGc4MwWy6RVSzCGNnDchoC1-sQAvD\_BwE](https://support.enlightenedequipment.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002770588-How-to-layer-quilts-for-sub-zero-camping?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=bp-performance-max&utm_content=&utm_term=&matchtype=&network=x&device=c&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21496859184&gbraid=0AAAAADliJ_qRsFxJ09dZ0STXvgtbFCdIq&gclid=CjwKCAjw5ZXQBhBdEiwAI5XVWea7SwIxtOseSUudWDwoakqQmHjDXbKwJCmGc4MwWy6RVSzCGNnDchoC1-sQAvD_BwE)

Feathered Friends Flicker is a great quilt. Expensive but worth it and great for hammock camping too.

My FF quilt is the best purchase I have ever made, absolutely incredible. 20 degree and yet still sleeping with the toe box open below those temps

Just got a FF Flicker in Muscovy and have no complaints. It packs down really well and it lofts within seconds. There is no smell. Overall seems to be cheaper and perform similar if not the same. Time will tell on the durability, but taking care of your gear should manage that like anything else!

I also have a Flicker, but the lack of a hood and draft tube gives me a similar experience as yours in colder weather. I use a Western Mountaineering Alpinlite (also rated 20 degrees) for those conditions, it's \*much\* warmer. It's a "roomy mummy", not constrictive, won't compress layers, a pretty good way to transition from a quilt if that's your jam. I think efficiency is more than the oz. of down, it's also the design and cut, which makes comparing bags difficult. The Flicker was OK to about 30, I've been warm cowboy camping in the Alpinlite to well below freezing.
