I have the Nemo Disco, 15degree. I like it. Good weight and comfort. Most of my problems with using the bag are not the bag, just how my body temperature changes as I sleep through the night.

I also use the Versalite and have not been disappointed. I found out the hard way years ago to never go cheap on a mummy bag.

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 15 is a narrow bag as well.

I have Western Mountaineering Terralite for my backpacking needs. Years ago I bought two Wiggy’s bags for car camping. In a word they suck almost as bad as Jerry Wigutow does. He does not stand behind warranty issues.

What's the lowest temps you've had it down to? lowest you'd sleep comfortably in?

I bought it from The Hermit Hut and they overfill it for free. I got cold at ten degrees which is below it’s rating of 20 with overfill. But, I am a cold sleeper
I have the Versalite as well. I add a silk liner to it to minimize dirt/oils in the bag itself and it weighs next to nothing. All I do is wash the liner and I am good to go. I have used the bag+liner down to 0-5 deg and been comfortable with just my base layers on. I also use the feathered friends down boots for sleeping and my feet have never gotten cold. They are game changers.

Another nod to Western Mountaineering here. I shopped for quite awhile before settling on the Versalite. I have only had it down to about 30 degrees with a Sea to Summit Traveler silk liner. I was sleeping in only my boxers and was very comfortable without the bag zipped up all the way. I am a warm sleeper though. The craftsmanship and quality on this bag are impressive. It is very light and compresses incredibly small when needed.

I'll jump on the Western Mountaineering bandwagon. I have no experience with the bags you listed, from when I was researching a bag purchase feathered friends and WM seemed to be the ones that came up as the gold standard.
I have a WM antelope and have been warm sleeping in it down to 5 degrees when combined with a thermarest neoair xtherm. I was inside a Hilleburg Rogen and wearing merino base layers and a beanie. I highly recommend a WM bag.

A good full length sleeping pad is just as important.

Yea and full width too at least for me. Those 20 inch pads aren’t for me. I’d pack a 5 pound pad before I tried sleeping on one of those narrow pads again.

I have a number of WM bags as well as a number of other brands in various ratings. In cold weather however, your bag is only as good as your use of a vapor barrier!
