Budget?
Any of the reputable brands will do that with ease; it really depends on how much you can afford to spend but -12C is usable here in Australia in winter but as we always say, if it's warm enough for the snow it will be too warm for the other 3 seasons
One bag doesn't do all

Shees Rose 124,
That is one hell of an altitude where are you heading ?
For those temperatures I would not ignore a Manufacturer used to conditions like this such as https://www.tundrasleepingbags.com/slee ... y-minus-20.
We use their -5 Pure and Dry for 4 Seasons in Tassie and cannot fault them ,if it gets colder on the Snow we just wear more clothes ,something I suspect will not be possible in your -20 situations :shock:

Rose, have a look at Campsaver.com they have one helluva sale on right now.
You don't need to spend A$800 or more for what you want.
You'll get this one for about A$430 from the U.S. and if it's your first buy from them you'll get 15% off that.
This bag is women specific and is worth a look at -18C.
http://www.campsaver.com/thermarest-ada ... eeping-bag.
The weight is good at 1100g.
They have straps underneath to marry up to a Thermarest sleeping mat.

Good looking Bag reads well however 700+ Down to -18 is a wee bit suspect in claim I think so do your homework :)

Have a look at the Malachowski bags that Kasia from Globewalker stocks. I think their climber 600 or 800 are rated down to that.

I see she's go them on sale at them moment as well http://www.globewalker.com.au/malachowski/

I was looking at their Ultralight ones last year, but ended up getting another Polish bag - Cumulus - but these are rated for around 0C.

That looks like a good deal especially with the Down quality ,pity it does not have a DWR shell.
