The right bag is different for each person due to their
own body, how many clothes they are willing to wear while
they sleep, and so on.

I had below freezing sleeping conditions in Southern
California, Sierra, Oregon, and Washington so you need
to be prepared for those conditions for almost the entire
length of the trail.  Northern California is the section
of trail that you are least likely to have cold weather
but I think it is easier to just use the same gear through
this section rather than manage the logistic of switching.

Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of thinking that
Southern California is always hot and dry. I've experienced
snow and freezing rain in the Lagunas (40 miles from the
border) during thru-hike season and even without precipitation
it can get cold at night in the desert.
