I already own a similar product but can't wear it. The excess scratchy velcro strap is too abrasive against my skin. Is this the same?

i wear mine so the scratchy side is facing away from my body plus I wear a t-shirt under mine

Yes, if worn against the skin. If worn over underclothes it will also abrade the material. We have had to trim the excess velcro and restitch it to avoid this. The upside is they give you enough material to custom fit the belt.

There was a little overhang that was itchy but I just trimmed it off and it did not compromise the belt what so ever.

This one has no velcro strap. It does not separate so you need to make sure your correct size. I ordered mine too big so I ended up giving to a friend. But it is a very good product and made very well. I will soon be ordering another one. Hope this helps.

If you do not get the Velcro lined up perfectly which mean you have to get the right size then yes it can be just like the orther product you own

I tried. It was so uncomfortable and cutting my skin that I couldn't wear it more than 40 mins. I even tried to put a tshirt and swearshirt on under it. I think my issue is that the medium was too big for me so I had to tighten to the Max and it kept cutting me under the arms. I wasn't willing to put an extra padding like others suggested. Some ppl put a hand towel under it. I felt like that was too much accommodation for this back brace. Hope this helps! I will say the refund process was smooth so u may want to just give it a try?

I have been using mine every night for 1 1/2 years. I'm replacing it now because the velcro on the middle strap is finally losing its tight hold.

Yes, you should have no problem with this. The different adjustments on the strap should take care of this.Thank you!

I never wore it against my skin because the fabric irritated my skin and the Velcro poked me. I always wore it over a tank top or maternity pants that fully cover my abdomen. Therefore, I've not yet felt the need to clean it. Given the quality, I imagine if you hand wash it then you won't have any problems.

I would think that if you would apply a narrow strip of mole skin to the strap where it contacts the frame you could possibly minimize the abrasion from the straps. The back of the Velcro strap does seem to be rather abrasive but my frame shows very little wear on the paint.

Frankly, I'm not sure which it is. What I am sure of...is the one I ordered and commented on is so much better than any other replacement that I've purchased. It has double material around each Velcro strap which prevents and has prevented tearing and ripping when the wind blows. This one has been very, very durable. Hope this helps you in making your decision to buy or not to buy. I recommend...to buy!

There should be 2 different styles one is rough and 1 is softer. Maybe Velcro packed them wrong

Yes, rather comfortably if you adjust the straps right. The mask material is pretty stiff, so it might scratch? Good luck!

The strap is rather narrow, but I have had no issues with it digging in. However, the strap is rather long and probably not suitable for wearing around your wrist, in my opinion. I have my expanded out and wear it over my shoulder so that it rests in on the opposite hip or against my back.

Never tried, so far the longest I have worn it is 2 hrs while running. But if you are just monitoring you heart rate during normal activities I suppose. But I would get the upgraded strap, the one that comes with it is kind of thin and can irritate skin after awhile.

The strap isn't really the issue because it's made of soft rubber. The actual support holder is what can cause scuffs. It's made out of hard plastic but has a thin piece of rubber inside. The problem is the rubber isn't thick enough. So I modified it by placing a strip of foam inside. Works great.

Hi. I will refer you to the company website. http://www.italsteam.com/ Goodluck, although this product is junk. Will get your clothes dirty and the company itself is non-responsive. I strongly urge you to return the product and do not buy.

I use mine for SAR and I had some of that as an issue too until I adjusted, adjusted, adjusted all the straps. Even then I had some issues but wearing it in and weighting it down with my gear has broke it in and it fits well now. When I take it off in the field, the shoulder velcro sperates but that is not a big deal since it is adjusted with the straps. I've had this vest for awhile now and I can tell you it is very effective - for me - and blows away what other's on my team have IMHO. break it in Albert - weight it down, sweat in it, get it dirty and then readjust it again and again until it fits.

Recommendation from a friend with a similar knee problem. The one I chose has been great. The only complaint I have is that periodically the cushion on the back of my knee moves and then the strap rubs the skin.

I have the same question as bareto, the information above says this comes with the T31 chest strap, not the new wearlink one. Is this correct?(I actually hope it is, I hate the new design)

I just purchased this item and it's not what I expected, I bought one in 2012 and it was perfect fit for phone and arm, very durable material, I would throw it in the washing machine every week but this one is way bigger (6 1/8" long x 4 3/8" wide) from end to end, the band with the velcro is too long for my arm, my arm is 10", material doesn't feel the same.
