This is exactly what you're looking for. It's perfect for someone who is open to backpacking but doesn't want to spend a ton of money. Great reviews and price point for what you get - not super heavy, compresses down pretty small and comes with a compression sack, warm, and has a hood and draft collar. People have hiked the AT with it, even.

I used it for months out backpacking, hitch hiking, and general rough tramping in the PNW and in Big Bend this winter, no problem. Classic mistake is throwing a bunch of money on the latest and greatest without knowing what you like and what works for you. Get the more basic essentials and upgrade on a case by case from there. Down is nice, yes, but a bit too much for someone just getting into things.

I just bought this sleeping bag. I LOVE it! When I first got it I thought it was really thin and thought how on earth will it keep me warm? But it's done a wonderful job! Read the reviews on amazon.

I use a cheap ass, heavier than some, too small for my 6' 4" height, Suisse Adventure that retails for $30 - $40 on amazon.

So far it's kept me warm and dry. Room for expensive improvement.

Its 3lbs but packs small. I found this in an osprey bag, both in like new condition on a stoop. Slept in it this winter a few times in 28 degree weather. Was really comfortable until I woke up with my feet in water (dogs water bowl was moved below my feet and wiggled down). Was uncomfortable, but toes didn't freeze and I got all appendages still.

I bought this bag from Amazon 2 years ago and LOVE it. It's a 30 degree bag, weighs 2lb, is EXTREMELY compressible, and is only $40! I couldn't recommend it more.

Last time I bought one these extremely compactable sleeping bags, I came very close to regretting it.

I bought this. Took it to Casa Vieja Meadows in the Golden Trout Wilderness in the middle of summer.

Temps were around 40-45 F (right in the purported comfort zone) and I was cold all night, even in a fleece jacket. Cold spots galore.

Not to be deterred, my wife sewed fleece fabric into it as a liner. Next outing at 36-40F, and I was toasty. Of course, it wasn't nearly as compactable anymore.

You can do everything vegan. Synthetic insulation is usually cheaper, too. And the weight penalty isn't huge. Compression suffers a bit, but again not huge. Hiking boots can be hard to find but if you use runners instead it's hard to find non-synthetic.

For a bag I'd probably just get a cheap 30* on Amazon. This one zips together if you get the zippers on opposite sides. 3lbs is pretty hefty, tho. Should work well enough until you decide to switch to quilts or hammocks :P
