Tent Compression Sack Question

This is the type of compression sack I want. Does it come with one at all? If so, is it this kind or the kind that just squeezes it together in with the poles. This is my old vector 22. I loved that tent...

my tadpole has a compression sack that has traps around the circumference. They can be cinched down to make it really compact. There are no straps longitudinally because you can't make the folded poled any smaller.
