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 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.

Mine has held up fine so far. I don't use it daily and I have it covering cloth seats. Might be different with leather.

Hi Deirdre. No. It doesn't have any Velcro but there is a magnet on the inside corner that secures it very nicely!

IT's not exactly Velcro but it attaches like Velcro would. It's like high tech Velcro. :) But I use it a lot and it seems to stay put.

I had the same problem after a few years. If you're handy and don't mind putting some effort into it you can scrape off the Velcro (and most if the adhesive )from the metal. Go to Home Depot or other hardware store with a sample of the piece you ripped off and you can find a close enough match that has a sticky backing. Cut it to size and stick it on. Good as new.... Sort of.

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...

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'm sorry to hear about that! Amazingly, my pup still has his and no issues. If it were me, I'd head out to the craft store or fabric store with the velcro and tag in hand and tell the clerk what I wanted to do and ask for their ideas. I've purchased velcro separately in the past for other projects, so I know it's available. Good luck!

I was worried about this too, but so far (he's been in it for about 4 months now) we've had no problems. The velcro area seems to be far enough away not to scratch his arms.

I've had mine for a long time and the same thing happened. What I did is to get a couple of large back to back velcro pieces and it seems to stay. You can also get some heavy duty super strength glue to hold the bottom velcro piece just make sure it isn't flammable. Regardless of the problem with the gooey velcro fall offs this toastie tush has saved my tush from freezing many mornings, lol. Good Luck

The velcro so far has been good no problems there. this should last you for a while, yes it does have a strong grip. I use it with no shirt and run a mile 3 times a week no problem with it sliding. Its more confortable when you have short it does its job, i wont be replacing it any time soon. If you are not picky this will work for you.

ET I have not had any problems with the velcro although I did get a bigger size in the glove.

So far so good. I've had it for maybe a year...maybe longer. The color is still dark black and it is a heavy duty cover. Velcro stays in place and I think it looks just fine. It's been through heat and a lot of rain also.

Mine works fine. The velcro holds fine on mine. I use mine for skiing. Not sure what you mean by buying velcro and have someone fix it.

I had no problem with the velcro, it was actually pretty secure, but I only used it about 10 x daily. I think it would last from my experience.

I have never had a problem. I just make sure they are tight with no play when wrapping the velcro around the posts. I bought mine in 2011 so can't say if there have been any design changes in the interim which may have led to a lower strength velcro.
