First backpacking trip. Worried about being too cold at night.

First overnight backpacking trip coming up. I’m not new to hiking, but this will be my first time sleeping overnight on the trail.

Location is around 6,000ft, river in canyon terrain, with recent lows around 39 to 42°F.

Sleep setup:

Tent: Naturehike Mongar UL 2

Pad: Therm-a-Rest Trail Pro Max Large

Quilt: Paria Thermodown 15 Down Quilt

I'm not sure about the quilt rating. It looks thinner than what I expected. I'm also wondering about drafts from the tent and quilt.

Does anybody have experience with this gear? Will it likely be enough for nights around 40°F?
