A Katabatic quilt and the Rei Flash 55 would be next to pick up. You won’t need the switchback much, the Neoloft is plenty warm and durable.
As others have said, the Katabatic is the choice. However the Katabatic is comfort rated, so an EE 20 is like a 30 deg Palisade. I am not familiar with PCT temps but you may be able to get away with a Palisade. I sleep warm to 20 on a CCF pad.
I love my Katabatic quilt. Extremely light, can open up and breath in warmer hunts and definitely warm enough sub-freezing when buttoned up. Been using it for 5 years on Colorado hunts, all kinds of conditions.
There isn’t really an absolute best, but I like Katabatic for a quilt and western mountaineering or feathered friends for a bag. I prefer quilts down to around the low 20s, bags below that. Having a pocket in your quilt for a sleeping pad seems silly to me.
I love my Katabatic quilt!
Seconding the quilt recommendation. I have a Katabatic that I've had for 6 years or so and it's a real game changer over a mummy bag.
Numeri 1 - Western mountaineering - Feathered friends Li tocchi con mano e capisci subito di che pasta son fatti. Subito dopo metterei Katabatic, pieno di accessori e features utili. Poi ce ne sono tanti altri sotto molto buoni. In EU trovi piu facilmente Cumulus, fatti veramente bene. E poi ci alcuni piu piccoli che fanno roba custom made molto buoni. Ma c'è un abisso tra tutti questi e i classici commerciali e costano giusto qualche euro in piu o a volte in meno. 100-150€ per una roba che ti deve tenere caldo, essere leggero, compatto e deve durarti anni e anni, mi sembra un investimento molto piccolo. Ci prendi giusto qualche taroccata decathlon o ferrino. Io mi farei regalare lo zaino, il sacco a pelo è molto personale. Se poi dormi a pancia in giù o laterale devi prendere un quilt, col sacco non dormi.
Your Hammock Gear is about the same quality as an EE, Hammock Gear will likely even be slightly warmer at the same temperature ratings. A Katabatic or Timmermade are the usual next step up that I am aware of but even then, you are not going to be saving much weight unless you are going from a full sized quilt to a short one. If you are really just changing the sizing and don't want to spend Katabatic/Timmermade money I would just go with Hammock Gear again in the short wide size. Though I think there are probably other places you could save more weight with the same amount of money.
