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.

Velcro on the window seal... I own my home and I use Velcro. So far it has lasted over six months...

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

Hi Jose- That's great question. The dog that I bought this for loved to slid on his back onto the snow (he did it with and without the backpack). The velcro never let go. ALSO, you can't see it but there is a clip from the base of the pack that clips to the other part-so even if the velcro fails you won't lose your goods. My dogs are extremely active and crazy. It's been good so far. I hope this is helpful.

there is a velcro connection that rips off the first time you use it. If you can sew the velcro on instead of gluing it, there might be a chance of it staying on.

Holds up pretty well assumi9ng you dont over pack it, i have this one and the next size up as the mini is pretty small. Check the dimensions to make sure the sizing suits you as when it is overfilled the velcro works less well.

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.

The Velcro will eventually wear out depending on use. This company has one of the best lifetime guarantees that I have ever seen. One phone call was all it took.

I have not used Velcro - if the TV is solid and level it just fits right on top and stays there. We have no kids though and the TV is inside a "built in" opening so it is not subject to jostling or getting bumped.

I wouldn't know. I didn't have the need to use any Velcro. Mine hasn't moved around at all. I love mine - it's sturdier than others I've seen on the market.

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.

I have my pouch for over 6 months and it is holding up great. No un-sticking at all. Highly recommended. Let me know if you have other concerns.

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

I've had mine for more than 6 months and I use it at least twice a week. I have had absolutely no problems with mine. I don't necessarily like the super long bungee that comes with it so I changed it out with my own and it's all good. Mechanically it works great. Thinking about buying another one in case they quit making this model.

I've had mine about a year now, I just simply pull the velcro straps tighter, the upper and the one close to the knee, is most important. Not to tight

Any type of Velcro material with adhesive will not stand up to any kind of stress for long. If the fabric glue you plan to use is reliable, you would still need to use some kind of agent to remove the glue from the Velcro before applying it. The strength of the bond between fabric glue applied to the glue on the Velcro strip would only be as strong as that of the Velcro glue to the Velcro, which is not durable. Sorry. You are better off getting non-adhesive Velcro. Using an awl stitcher to sew on Velcro to fabric will provide the durability you seek.

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!
