will it strectch over time?

No the bandolier will not stretch but the shell holder will stretch and only fit the shell size you first put in it. You can go with larger shells but you can't go smaller.

No, I've not found it do so, despite the other answer. The base of this bandolier is made of a very densely-woven, heavy-duty nylon band that is stronger and thicker than seatbelt material. I've owned one for than a year now that's been fully-loaded with .44 Rem Mag cartridges and hanging over a closet door knob in my office, with two other empty bandoliers for that same period of time. It's no longer now in comparison to the other two than it was the day I put it here. This is an amazingly high-quality product for such a modest price. I did the research, and it's why I bought one initially, then two more once that first arrived, was inspected, and put to use. Buy with confidence.

This is made from a very strong elastic material. I have mine loaded with .410 shells and .45 colt and they seem to be fine. They may stretch but it will be a very long time and I believe unless you are putting giant .50 cal rounds in the bandoleer then it should be fine.

Long term I don't know. I have skipped couple of days and firmness and appearance of arms was worse than when used daily.

Yes, but the area that it's applied to will become a little stiff and rubbery

Yes, she loosens up after a couple of uses. Esp. when being used for snatch and clean and jerk. ;) ;)

it does and I noticed with time it gets stretched out and it isn't as of a tight fit.

Absolutely. But keep it moving with direction change. Any hesitation and it will dig in.

No but it gets better the longer you have it. I found it to be less quilly and softer the longer you have it, and I don't see it going flat at all.

new strings will stretch for a while. just keep working at it. they will be fine.

No, it will start to pull up over time do to fluctuation in temp, and humidity. For long term protection you may want to use a bed liner or original ( non spray able) plasti dip. It's thicker.

Nope it won't stretch, but it is a rough texture so I'd compare it to doing push ups on concrete.

It does.... I'm 135 and it leaves indentation. But they recover back to flatness. :)

Honestly I don't stretch mine very much but so far it's seemed pretty stout. I haven't noticed any permanent stretching so far.
2232526
No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

I've had this about a year now. The tension gives eventually and like the other reviewer mentioned, mine sags. Even with the allen key, while it locks temporarily, it will eventually give. Sorry I couldn't be more positive about this.
733487
No, but it did get squishy after much use. For the price I couldn't complain.

It stretches a little so after a while of taking it on and off I'm sure it would get easier. However in my opinion it's not made to be taken on and off because of the secure fit.

I've owned mine for a few months now and use it doing total body workout. My wrists are small and it moves a bit but otherwise no problem.
