I bought this tent a few months ago and it is amazing. But...it takes up a large amount of room in my pack. Is it possible to use a compression sact for the footprint, fly and tent body without damaging or causing wear to the tent? If so what sack do you recomend?

Based upon Jason's recommendation I picked up a size small Granite Gear Air Compressor for my Hubba Hubba. I have to agree that the fit is perfect. In this photo I have the fly, tent and footprint inside the compression sack.

Absolutely you can. I wouldn't store it compressed all the time (I store mine in the included sack), but carrying it compressed is fine. A compression sack that's about 15 L should be fine.

You can use a compression sack for this tent! I wouldn't store it in there indefinitely however (keep the original storage sack for this purpose and don't stuff the tent when storing, but fold it...MSR's tents use the best PU coating in the industry so you won't experience deterioration of the coatings were the tent is folded like you would with other brands). The way I pack my Hubba Hubba is first stuffing in the fly and then the body of the tent. If you have a footprint, you can also stuff that in (first put it in the mesh storage sack and then stuff LAST into the compression sack), but keep in mind it might be wet or dirty. If so, I recommend NOT stuffing this with the tent as mildew and wetness will be transferred especially after everything is compressed. The reason why you put the fly in first is because it is put on after the body is up, and sometimes you might not need to take the fly out. If you put the fly in first, then you will have much more hassle when it comes to setting up camp. I highly recommend the Granite Gear Air Compressor size Small. This is an ultralight compression sack that fits the body and fly of the Hubba Hubba perfectly. After it's compressed it will be the size of a bloated softball. I also like the 'Block' shape of this compression sack. It makes packing much easier.
