How does the velcro hold up? Does it wear out quickly? I need something that will at least last 4-6 weeks full-time.

I have been using mine every night for 1 1/2 years. I'm replacing it now because the velcro on the middle strap is finally losing its tight hold.

It holds up very well. Actually, much better than other brands and splints I tried.

It holds up pretty well. I had to be creative with it after some time and stick it areas other than originally intended ( one oof the other straps)but have been using it for a few months. I ordered 2 more of them - one for home, one for work - as I really like the way it fits and functions. It is ver well made. I tried a few other braces and they were not comfortable or as suppoertive. To me, it's been well worth the money to order the other 2. I had a brace fitted for me at the physical therapists office, but it has a hardened plastic sectopn (heated and formed to me hand/forearm) but it is a bit uncomfotable and "fatiguing" to wear it as it has no give at all except for the elastic in the thumb wrap, so even small movements are always "pushing against" this brace and itis not nearly as comfortable as the Mueller.

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.

I have been using it for at least 2 months. No problem with all 3 Velcro straps.

It doesn't hold up as long as you may hope, but it's not terrible. I wore mine not fulltime (maybe a couple of hours per day) for about 6 weeks, but now the strip that goes around the thumb (the most important one) keeps unfastening and I need to order another one of these. Time to choose a competing item...

Mine has held up very well this winter...velcro is strong. No issues w/ the 6in or so of snow I've had on it. I've had a few different covers over the years in this price range; this one is easily the best.

The velcro is very good quality. I never had any problems with it. However, I don't use it the velcro strap as nearly as often as the tripod legs. If it did eventually wear out, it wpwould be trivial to replace it.

I've only had mine for a month or so. However, I'm certain it depends on how often you use them and how well you take care of them after and between each use. I expect mine will last longer than 6 mo. as I don't wear them constantly.

I've only had this product for about 4 months and it holds up just fine. I'm actually using it for my Garmin Gps and it holds up really well. Hope this helps.

Same here.. I've had this for about 2 weeks with 3x a week use. The velcro SUCKS! I was debating on sewing some velcro myself but.. I didn't pay 12.99 for a defective armband. I'll be sending this back. I tried contacting the company but couldn't find their contact info (amazon keeps routing me to amazon's return center). So.. I'll be returning.

The Velcro still worked perfectly on the 3 bags I owned. I had pink bags. Because of the light color getting scuffed I no longer use it as a kids lunch bag, however we still use them in car trips where no one but us can see them. Function-wise they still work the same as the day I got them. Just as an FYI, the bags were removed from the freezer at 830am and filled. When the kids had lunch at 1230, the bags were still cold. At 4pm when they came off of the bus the bags were only slightly cold inside. The time allotted claims that it cools for longer, but in an airconditioned environment, in our case, it does not.

Hi, my son only used this for maybe 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how long you plan on using it for, but please keep in mind that it didn't feel very sturdy. With my son now at 8 weeks, I know for sure that he would be too big. I ended up giving it away when my two year tipped it over..thank goodness I was able to catch it.

I bought the belt recently and don't wear it everyday (only wear it when my hip is bothering me). Not sure how long it will last if its worn daily.

Some kind of tough polymer canvas, very heavy. Absolutely no sign of wear on the fabric after 4 seasons of heavy farmers market use, 4 days/week for 6 months... I suggest a silicone spray to waterproof after the first year, handling reduces the factory waterproofing after alot of use, though I show artwork & have never had a leak. The velcro attaching it wore out after 3 years, before I replaced, the top still stayed on because of the straps provided on each side that pull up any sagging - they helped out the aged velcro enough so I could use it until I could sew on new velcro.

The Velcro has kept my daughter's kindle in it for a year, it has never slipped out. In fact it's been in there so long I forgot it was held in by Velcro until I read this question.

Mine has been holding on quite well. However, my backup plan was going to be to use Velcro if it didn't hold. Maybe that will work for you.

It's flexible enough for running - but after a few weeks the Velcro has weakened and I find it popping off during use.

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've had mine for about 2 months and it's perfectly fine. Those who are complaining of it falling apart in a matter of weeks probably are continuously taking it off. I love mine and had kept it on since I got it. It's definitely legit.

So far, this one has held up fine, but I've only had it a few weeks. I'm afraid I can't predict when or if it will tear. Sorry.

I've had mine for about a month now and the Velcro is still strong! I use it about 4-6 times a week. The grip is strong if you adjust it right and it won't slide down your arm. But it's all about how tight you make it.
