Surprised Crye does not offer an option for Tubes or an alternative to it.

I assume they won't offer Tubes because of their patent lawsuit with FirstSpear for laser cut MOLLE, probably soured their relationship. If they offer a buckle I'm sure it will be their own in-house design.
As for tubes grafted onto the cummerbund or one from the ground up, I prefer not to get on Crye's radar in terms of litigation as they have a patent on their cummerbund design. Not sure how MOS constructs their cummerbunds but if it is anything close to the patent they are potentially opening themselves up for a lawsuit. It is the reason why Spiritus designed their cummerbund without the vertical stiffeners to keep the three bands together. I also think the materials used on the Crye cummerbund is probably superior to some of the ones I've seen on the market.
