Hello All

Trying to bring down my wife's base pack weight, and am seeking a light pack and sleeping bag.
Light brands, but not super cottage gear/too expensive?
Apx.50-60l capacity pack,.and around 3-400g down womens bag?
She is 168cm.

Open to suggestions/offers-

Granite Gear
ULA
Osprey
Exped
Et.al


Thanks in advance!

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.
