LV-119 Tubes
Very easy to take on and off and quieter than hook and loop. The rigidity makes this cummerbund much more useful for mounting pouches. Top notch!

I am a big fan of the tubes and they make putting on and taking off the carrier easy. I went with the Size 2 so I could have more adjustment for when I wear more layers. Installation was easier than I thought it would be. The website picture was invaluable.

All the good things people said are true, i just wanted to add im a 34' waist and got the size one, Im on the very last hole and it barely fits with plates in. They say you should weave it through 2 loops but i cant make it work like that and also breath, just for reference im 43' around at my bottom ribs. If you have a big chest go Size 2 for sure
As with all things Spiritus, the quality is unmatched, if the size 1 is out of stock, a size 2 will most likely work if you do the overlapping weave, I went with that option and have zero regrets. This is a very low profile option and the tubes make getting in and out of the kit a breeze. I highly recommend this cummerbund for any duty setup.
Like others here I was back and forth about molle with tubes or just elastic cummerbund. I like how easy it is to keep kit together it’s definitely quiet and easy to put on and off. I don’t plan to mount anything to the molle and would like a little more flexibility in the sizing based on what clothes I am wearing layer wise. If the elastic cummerbund was offered with tubes this would be awesome but for now no complaints everything fits great. I like to have my rig set pretty snug so a little more room or flexibility would be awesome.
I fought myself for a few minutes as to if I wanted the TUBES, or if I just wanted to not waste any more time or money on pouches, and just get the advanced elastic....my friends convinced me to go TUBES, and holy crap am I glad I did. Assembly was easy, and they are on and off in seconds. No noise, easy attachment of side armor panels and any other MOLLE/MALICE attachment you want. Well worth the extra cash, and effort
It’s very convenient and It works on my JPC just fine
It’s pretty cut and dry here boys. FirstSpear Tube Kit fitted on a skeletonized cummerbund. Works as described. I have mine mounted on a Ferro Concepts Slickster. I have oringinally used the molle back panel as the mounting solution but I’m since upgraded to a larger 5x8 Velcro panel that I have punched holes into and used a geometric kit to reinforce. It worked like a charm. The possibilities are endless here. Pro: Durable, Lightweight Cons: Proprietary mounting design is flimsy on other platforms since it’s not designed for them. A Velcro panel adapter would be magnificent.
Tubes are amazing. Not a fan of skeletal style cummerbunds, but this is the best one I have used.
Really well made cummerbund, the only thing that was a pain was installing the male end of the first spear tubes to the front plate bag, But once on it ain’t going anywhere. Overall really solid and would highly recommend.
NOTE: This LV/119 Cummerbund is designed for use with a front O V E R T and rear O V E R T or C O V E R TLV/119 plate bag.

Cummerbund Attachment
The cummerbund attachment is a proprietary system that allows for the use of all of our cummerbunds, as well as allowing for a wide range of adjustment. The cummerbund attaches inside the plate bag, which is advantageous for a few reasons.
1. There is no external mounting that can get snagged or rip off when exiting vehicles in haste.
2. The design creates a smooth profile when worn underneath clothing.
3. Hook & loop is not utilized as an attachment method on the rear plate bag. Hook & loop wears out over time and is a generally less-than-optimal attachment method when not supported in other ways. Hook & loop doesn't handle weight well and it sticks to everything, especially cloth seats.
4. Every front plate bag comes standard with sewn loops on the sides for attaching First Spear TUBES™ for use with our TUBES™ cummerbund.
Sizing
The cummerbund comes in two sizes: Size 1 and Size 2, each offering up to 14 inches of total adjustment. This allows for a proper fitment for a wide variety of body types.
To figure our appropriate sizing, take measurement of the waist at the belly button. When measuring, users should dress as they would while actually wearing the carrier. For example, if the user is operating in arctic environments, they should be wearing cold weather equipment when measuring.
Size 1: 28" to 42"
Size 2: 40" to 54"
If your waist measurement is 42", we suggest going up to the Size 2 cummerbund.
