How long does the velcro on the strap last before it doesn't hold anymore? Thanks.

I've only used it a few times for mounting my camera on a drum hardware stand. Its fully functional, thus far.

The velcro is very good quality. I never had any problems with it. However, I don't use it the velcro strap as nearly as often as the tripod legs. If it did eventually wear out, it wpwould be trivial to replace it.

I've had it for 2 years and the Velcro looks just as good as when i first bought it. I've had to wrapped around branches, chairs, poles, fences, strollers...basically anything I could wrap it around and it's held up fine.

I have had mine 5-6 years and the velcro still works just as well today as it did when I bought it. I agree with another answer that said the strap would be quite simple to replace if you use it enough to wear it out.

the strap is a basic velcro strap. Other parts no sure. I dont see it breaking from normal use.

When I walk with the camera down, it is tight against me and I have not had the camera spin on me. I've had the strap for around 10 months and I wouldn't trade it for another strap. I love my RS-7.

I really have not had any problems with the velcro on mine. I would suggest that you Google the company to help with a contact number...

I've had mine for about a month now and the Velcro is still strong! I use it about 4-6 times a week. The grip is strong if you adjust it right and it won't slide down your arm. But it's all about how tight you make it.

I bought the belt recently and don't wear it everyday (only wear it when my hip is bothering me). Not sure how long it will last if its worn daily.

I have been using it for at least 2 months. No problem with all 3 Velcro straps.

I can't answer on how to repair the Velcro, but for others who use this device, I never undo the Velcro...just force my hand into the opening. If I did have the problem, I would sew the straps down permanently, and just live with it that way.

I've had this for 6 months with regular use and the straps show no sign of wear.

My right shoulder strap has worn almost completely apart in 16 months. I have a 7-8 pound laptop plus documents and folders that I carry. Swiss Gear will fix/replace it, but I have to send it back.

In my experience the velcro backing tears off the foam fairly quickly, much faster than the pads show any wear. I sent CG a message on facebook asking if they had any advice on extending the life as I was disappointed at their relatively short lifespan, but have yet to hear back.

I can't picture your situation. It would help with pictures but I'm not sure if you can post pictures here. Is it just the top velcro strap that doesn't close properly or the bottom one too?

The strap is approximately seven and a half inches long. It is sturdy and will hold up very well.

Its a strap you could put it through your belt loop before you put the belt on. It does not come off and there is no Velcro for it to come undone.Thanks

I suggest emailing the vendor and/or manufacturer to ask about a replacement strap. It is made by a company called K-Cliffs Lifestyle and here's the link to their home webpage: http://www.k-cliffs.com/ From there, click on the "contact us" link and ask if you can just buy a strap replacement. Good luck and hope this helps.

Mine was purchased in June 2013 and the strap did break on our trip, however, it was probably overloaded.

I've had mine for about 4 years. It protected my guitar quite well, but the straps ripped out after barely a year, so I completely lost the back-pack functionality... which is why I'd gotten it in the first place.
