Does anyone have one of these? They look good, but there's no review on here about them. Just wondered if anyone had any experience with them, should I buy one?

I've got one in the tent collection, had it for a year now and it's been out about 5 times. It's a nice tent for the money, very stable design and quick to pitch. It's never leaked or been troubled by the wind. The only reason it's not been used more is we prefer the Tornado 300 which is lighter and sturdier (and a lot more expensive) when we're going compact camping.
... suppose I should get around to posting a review for it.
------------- Current tents in use: 5m Bell, Obelink Palamos 6, Vango Tornado 300 Vango Force 10 Mk3, Hypercamp Eldorado & Orange Raclet
The Sigma was one of the ones I looked at getting not that long back when I was after something a little bigger than my 2 man backpacker tent. Ended up getting the Blacks Lupus instead as it was on sale at the time.
I used it for the first time this weekend and have to say I loved it. Nice roomy porch, plenty of space inside too, lots of storage pockets inside and withstood the rain brilliantly (just ran off with the odd exceptions due to me not being able to peg out the guy lines). It's heavier than the Sigma tho, and there was only me in it, but it depends on what you are going to be using it for. I also liked the light system, battery pack in the specifically build pocket and 2x4LED lights that velcro on in the bedroom, but there's also the fittings to accomodate it in several other positions too.
This topic is about the Sigma 300+ (note the 'plus' sign) which has two doors and porches. The Sigma 300 (no 'plus') is the same but with only one door and porch.
I recently bought a Sigma 300 and will be submitting a review when I've used it a few times. So far it's only been up in the garden (for pitching practice and a night's try-out). Initial impressions are fairly positive but one cannot judge a tent until it's been used in anger and faced some decent rain and wind.
More in due course.

I have got a Sigma 300 + and I love it It's a great little tent I will be doing a review soon ( I have had puter problems and have only just got them sorted so will also put some pics up soon)
------------- Nothing nada zilch no camping this year boohoo
I bought a Vango 300 (not the + model with two porches) this summer.
So far the tent has proved entirely satisfactory. In fact, I have written a detailed review but I am loathe to submit it because a campsite review I submitted was not published.
Have you looked at the Coleman Rock Springs 3 or 4 - has a rear entrance/porch without an extra pole, groundsheet sewn into the main porch. No window covers or lamp hanging point though and only mesh on one entrance to the inner tent, if these are issues for you.

Oh dear, looks like my little one has been posting on my behalf again!
He picked the right thread though, we have a sigma 300 plus. It's a great little tent for the money. Surprisingly sturdy and roomy. Easy to pitch, I like the ability to have both doors open so the breeze can blow through. Great for stargazing in bed too!
