Personally, I have recommended down to everyone who is ever look to get kitted out. I still use my mountain hardware down bag from the mid 90s. You absolutely get what you pay for.

You want a bag that’s rated for real cold, not just “summer temps” so a bag rated around 20°F (–6°C) to 30°F (–1°C) is the practical sweet spot for those conditions. With that said, your pad is decent and pairing that with a bag that actually matches the sleeping pad’s insulation would keep you warm bottom-to-top instead of leaving a cold gap at your torso. The 75-liter pack size you have also gives you enough volume for a real backpacking-appropriate bag like either: - the REI Co-op Magma 30°F Or - Feathered Friends Flicker 20°F / Down Or - Mountain Hardwear Lamina Z-AI 20°F Which I personally think are all really good for your use case, the REI Co-op being my personal choice if I had to choose.
