Hit up your local hardware store for velcro straps that aren't branded and cost 25% \\(or less\\) of what the OR ones do. Or use a toe strap if you're old-school enough to have those laying around.
And yes, you will be mocked for buying a ENVE branded sock for your tube. FFS, I know it's only a fiver but who doesn't have an orphan black sock around?
A key part of my packless setup is a cover for my mini-pump to keep the wet and mud out. They're easy to make out of an old tube- cut a section a few inches longer than your pump, bind one end shut with a zap strap, turn inside out, trim the open end into a flap, slide the pump in, fold the flap over and secure with a rubber band \\(the ones that come on tubes are black so they're basically invisible\\) or strip of Velcro, and voila - no more dirt and water jamming the pump you have strapped to your down tube! My pump fits nicely in a hybrid tube.
