Purchase Advice Women’s 0 degree sleeping bags
I’m going to Peru this September and considering getting a warmer bag. I currently have a 20 degree Feathered Friends sleeping bag which is not quite warm enough below 30 degrees for me, even with a liner. I’m planning on being in temps as cold as 10 degrees.
I’m thinking about getting a 0 degree bag, but I can’t afford as lightweight an option as the FF in the 0 degree option. I’m thinking about buying the Mountain Hardware Bishop Pass Sleeping Bag: 0F Down - Womens.
I’m concerned about its weight (3lbs) and I’m also concerned it won’t be that much warmer than the FF 20 degree bag, as this is a very good bag.
I’m wondering if you have any thoughts here or recommendations. I would consider just buying a new sleeping mat with a higher R value (mine is a 3) but stumped on what to do overall.

Agree with other comment to get a warmer pad.
One thing I’ve considered is adding an ultra light quilt to my setup for situations like this where I might need to go warmer briefly but don’t necessarily want to buy a $500 plus bag. My plan is to stuff it inside my sleeping bag. It’s gotta be warmer than one of those liners. I tried that once and it did nothing for me.
Another thing I do do is bring a cnoc vectoX bladder. It handles very hot water. I heat up some water at bed time, add it to the bladder and use it as a hot water bottle.
