how does the velcro hold up? I never have any luck with velcro. Does this hold up for more than a year?

I have had mine for over a year and the only issue i have had is a light fray at the front of the belt. No velcro issues.

Have not had it a year yet more like 6 months. Held up quite well so far. This is a duty type belt, fairly stiff, made for a holstered firearm. I don't wear it daily but know officers and fire fighters that do. The other 511 gear I do have is top quality. I wont hesitate to buy other items from 511.

I didn't have that problem. I wore it for 8 wks. and the Velcro and glue held up.

I would use the Velcro there are 6 snaps that hold them closed and they are really sturdy even after a year of use.

I've taken ours off a few times and put it back on. Velcro seems to still hold good. Just make sure the new collar width is compatible.

The Velcro will fail over time, and the nylon will look worn quick. The leather is much stronger and the button keeps it secure much better, it's was a no brainier for me at 6 bucks. It's on me all day and I have zero complaints about it.

Velcro held up great, the seam from where it's attached and stitched does come apart rather easy after a while tho. Seeing as the seller has increased the price to $18-20 dollars now, up from their original $8, I'm not sure it's worth it now.

I used for about 4 months and yes, the Velcro is not working anymore. Keeps pulling away when I am running. I have a 3 times-a-week use. Useless now, but was good when brand new. I purchased on October 2013.

Good morning, absolutely-the velcro is a very good grade (quality). Honestly, is so good that I often re-adjust after strapping on my arm because the velcro secures it so tight that you will not have to worry about it sliding down. Once velcro is fastened your good for entire workout (no velcro interruptions).

The Velcro is very wide, and after a year plus of using, its still super secure! Arguably easier to customize the fit than straps also, as it cinches well on our pear shaped cat!

Good Lord! I DON'T WANT THAT JOB. And I have no idea if the velcro would hold up under those circumstances. I like the unit and have no problems with it at all. But then I might do 10 a day. Good luck.

The shopping cart liner we have has velcro tabs. Item is very nice, but the tabs keep coming loose. I sewed them and put a safety pin on them to keep them in place. I think the tie on tabs would be the most durable.

I had the fasteners come loose after a time. To solve this I purchased a heavy duty Velcro fastener material that I cut to size, that I purchased from WalMart and it works great, going on my second year with the same fasteners. Just happened to install the seat warmer for the winter season today. I used 5 pieces each 2" X 2.5", One in each corner where the old Velcro was attache and one directly in the center.

I've had mine for 9 months and the velcro is just starting to give out. I will probably just sew stronger velcro onto the case. Honestly, it's $10.00, it works great for such a cheap case.

I've had no reason to wash mine yet but I'm sure it could handle being washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. I'm not sure how the Velcro would hold up in the wash.

The Velcro is extremely strong & durable. It's so strong that it's almost difficult to undo (not a negative). My first one I used for 3 years. The only reason I purchased a second is because I switched devices. I've had my new one for almost a year, I workout 5 days a week & sweat a lot! It doesn't shift or slide, even during high impact workouts. Would highly recommend.
