is the v belt less prone to breakage?

The belt hasn't broken since we have owned the vacuum so I would lean towards no on that.

I have not experienced the belt slipping. So far it is working perfectly and I am enjoying it immensely.

I have been wearing mine on and off for about two years, more frequently the past few months. The velcro on the middle strap is starting to not stick as well. I might try to figure out a way to rig it, but honestly for the price I might just order a new one. This split works well, better than others I have had.

Probably just need to replace the belt. Should be a cheap part and an easy replacement - it's essentially a large rubber band underneath the platter. May have gotten stretched due to heat or some other factor.

I have owned this belt for over a year. I used it a lot at first, but not much lately. It works very well, in fact, I plan on using it more often.

I honestly do not know that answer. But what I can tell is I only use these 5:11 belts. I use them on a regular basis and they haven't failed me yet. I am have been wearing one of these belts for about 5 years already without a problem

The plastic buckle on our most recent one (ordered in May 2013) partially melted and stretched our of shape so the strap tends to slip. Trying to get Carex to replace it. But we had no problem with another one and used it for years until a seam broke. Duck tape fixed that for a while. All in all, a good product.

The velcro on inner belt is softer than the outer belt, it will not damage anything. I usually wear that as belt as driving to the range. Hope this helps.

In a way it does because you set the tension when you put this on the belt. Tension is what causes safety though.

No, I dont have any problem with the belt drive, after a year using it still smooth and quiet. It was little tricky do the right adjustment, I would wish it will be more options but it possible simulate my TRY bike, my road bike and my wife road bike. It is very good exercise bike and I like it.

Most of these type belts are made with "Kevalor" which is the same type material that "bullet-Proof' vest are made of. I would expect the belt to last at least as long as a premium type belt. The reduction of vibration over the orginal type belt is well worth the increase in cost.

I have worn mine out (the inside material) after fives years of use use. It NEVER came off of my belt unintentionally. This case has served me well, so I see no reason to change now.

I don't do a lot of quick draw, but, when I have, I have't had any problem with the holster coming loose. As a matter of fact, if I do wish to remove the holster from my belt, it is easier to undo the belt and slide it off rather than to pull it loose over the belt.

Yes, the belt falls off all the time. Very frustrating. I'm going to try replacing the belt. Any solutions you have found?Steve

This belt is constructed very nice, how ever. I am not sure how reliable the linking mechanism is to hold up to a cetain weight.

Absolutely. Half of the belt buckle is permanently attached to one end of the belt. The other end of the belt goes through the other half of the buckle and folds back over itself and secures with Velcro. Almost the entire length of belt has soft side with a small patch on other end of rough side. The belt's minimum setup is 28 inches and the maximum is 48 inches. Any and every finite adjustment of waist size in between is possible. When setup properly, the belt folds inward and no Velcro is shown. Also the joining of the two sides of Velcro is held tight by the pressure of being sandwiched between the outside of the belt and your body so it is very secure.

I have the same problem also the velcro only in the Center make the belt bend inward, and I don't think that is helping me to loose weigth
