Just a quick question. I recently picked up an Atom and I love it. Just curious what kind of stuff/compression sack you all use for it? I'd obviously like something lightweight (ya) and waterproof. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

The basic REI 7×15 silnylon sack will hold my Hydrogen snugly, so it should be a good fit for your Atom. Only $9 and 0.7oz.

The Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Medium Dry Sack – 11 x 18 (6.5 inch diameter) works well for my Hydrogen. And the 1.1 ounces isn't too bad for the better waterproofing of siliconized Cordura. REI has 'em – just search for Sea to Summit.
Casey, I do not own a Marmot Atom, but I recommend SealLine Stormsacks for your bag. My SeaToSummit silnylon bag leaked terribly. Anyone who owns one should try this test; its an eye opener. Details here:
