Sport loop life?

[Sword86]

Simply put, I have clothes items that utilize velcro. (Pocket flaps, etc) The non-hook side wears out with use over time terminating it’s ability to adhere. I would expect that should, or would happen with Sport loop bands.
Do those of you with Sport loops see this happening?
Thanks. S

Nope. It’s not normal Velcro.

Velcro on the sport loop bands are amazing. Adherence is never an issue. Not sure how Apple has revolutionized velcro, but they did.

They use thicker thread for the hooks to latch onto from what I can tell. Should increase longevity.

I'm curious though, since the loop is a little stretchy does that mean there's rubber strings woven into it (which are typically made out of latex, which ages, dries out and cracks), or is it just a curious function of the weave itself?

I’ve had mine for over 6 months and it’s still perfect.

I understand now. Thanks.
When I was last in an Apple store I looked at them and they had multiple ‘hook’ pads but I figured they’d still trash the ‘opposing’ material. It must be that face is made of a way more durable material than that of the cheap velcro on khaki shorts. S

The Sport Loop and nylon woven bands are extremely durable, aside from the flueroastamer sport bands. Really impressed with the quality of their bands, considering it’s ‘Velcro’.
