For a budget (but quality) SIM don't rule out Alpkit - I've got an Airo 120. Bought it for lightweight backpacking but it's comfortable enough that I use it for 'normal' camping too. I'm looking at getting a Dirtbag or Dozer for the missus next year.

Only issue is stock - Alpkit seem to get caught out by rave reviews leading to runs on their gear.

That's why I wasn't really looking at alpkit, whenever I do there's no stock.
