That height would make her a candidate for the WM Tamarack. One of the worst gear decisions I have ever made was selling mine to go UL.
Able to boost the temperature rating well below freezing by using an appropriate hooded jacket or parka.

I'm selling a Mont helium 300 in women's size. Weighs about 600 or so grams all up. It's hardly been used and always stored properly. $250 if you are interested. I'm on the mainland but can send it to Hobart.
