I need to make the Velcro straps on my back brace longer. Will this solve my problem.

Each strip is 3-1/2 inches long. I guess you could sew them onto your existing brace straps. Not sure if the velcro is as strong as what's currently on your brace, but it might be worth a try. Good luck!

The strap is adjustable and can be shortened, but only by about half. I think you will still have a bit of 'dangle' going on.

I never got mine to work - too short & total waste. Better to go to your local REI, sports store, or even Walmart maybe to get a longer velcro strap (& trim it if need be).

It is a bit of a stretch on the back handles, but it can work because of the velcro.

I suppose If you broke off the side pieces and secured it well with the Velcro straps, in my opinion, it might work. BUT, if you contact the owner of the company who is unbelievable helpful, I am sure he would have the answer for you. I just can't express enough how this little item has made me so happy.It is the first product in my life that I have wanted to shout out to people............that they too deserve this! Good luck, again the Co. owner is just wonderful, I have contacted him myself and referred many to his company, even retailers.

It really depends on the length of your torso. I have short legs but a long torso - even after adjusting the straps as much as possible, this brace still came straight across my stomach - so was no help for my lower back.

It should, it's stretchy & wraps freely . However, my grandpa used it everyday & the fastening tabs wore out. He is 86 & runs a cattle farm so everyday use was a must. We are in the process of either buying another brace or using velcro. He loved it, but his everyday use wore it out. Not trying to deter you from the purchase but wanted you to be aware about the fastening wear.

Kim, I don't believe so because I regularly do my exercises at the gym. Also, I am not dependent on the brace, I wear it only to help me heal whenever I hurt my back.

Sorry, I can't help you there. Originally I thought I was supposed to use it around the back straps. But they're crossed anyway. Then I thought maybe if there was some way of keeping the straps crossed lower down, the pouch would stay up higher on the front. And the little velcro strap might do that. But it doesn't stay where I want it to be. So I never figured it out.

Daniel. Improvise. I used a series of 3 straps and came up with my own solution.

Yes I believe you can make it as long as you want. just remember that the amount of weight of your project must be properly supported for stability, so some extra braces would have to be added.

I had posted the length, however the strap is adjustable ergo it can be made longer.

I have a pool noodle under mine in order to provide more recline. Maybe if you do this, it will free up a little space for the harness tightening strap.

I agree with T.K.; it's great. Mine continued to stretch out for awhile, so I'd recommend marking the brace height and checking it every once in awhile.

I don't know if any changes but can tell you I have used my brace daily for almost two months and the Velcro continues to work just fine.

Unfortunately this is a flaw in the design. Mine broke. I ended up putting Velcro on the back.

This large one may be too big....the top Velcro strap might be a little higher than 12". But you could use extra tie-downs, as mentioned.
