Is this tent an exoskeleton? Can it be pitched fly first in nasty weather, and then clip the inner tent in place?

Regarding Jason's answer: I have had to do this a few times. As long as you plan for it (put the poles in the grommits in opposite order), you can set it up and take it down in the rain. It's much easier take advantage of the free-standing aspect and set it up under a tree and then move it to wherever you want. This tent has been through three brutal seasons and I love it.

It's not designed to do this, but it's possible. By putting the poleset into the grommets of the fly, you could then clip the body of the tent on the poles underneath the fly. This, however, is not like a Hilleberg tent that requires you to set up the tent by first pitching the fly and then clipping the tent inside the fly. The Hubba HP and the Hubba Hubba HP are unique on the market because of their ability to be pitched sans footprint and body allowing for an ultralight fly-only set up. It's one of the best MSR offers.
