Build out your kit with genuine Velcro® brand hook-and-loop in Coyote #498. Berry Amendment-compliant, this sew-on fastener is a solid choice for military, law enforcement, and professional tactical applications where sourcing requirements matter. The 2-inch width gives you a versatile attachment area for patch fields, pouch flaps, and panel work, wide enough for a strong hold without adding bulk. Whether you build gear professionally, equip a team, or upgrade your own loadout, you're getting authentic Velcro® brand material, not a knockoff.
Count on a secure grip and consistent color along the full length. Both the hook and loop sides are 2 inches wide and made from durable nylon that holds up through repeated open-and-close cycles. The Coyote #498 hook matches Velcro® #900, so your hook-and-loop pieces blend for a uniform look on carriers, packs, and pouches. With no adhesive backing, it's stitched directly onto your fabric for a durable bond that won't peel or shift in the heat as sticky-back tapes can. It works well with heavy nylon, canvas, webbing, and gear that already uses hook-and-loop panels, and it accepts standard hook-backed patches and ID tapes.
Use it on patch panels, plate carrier ID fields, admin pouches, pouch flaps, backpack loop panels, duty bags, range bags, and custom vest modifications. For best results, sew with a heavy-duty needle and bonded nylon thread, stitching close to the edges and adding a box or X pattern on larger pieces. Keep the hook side clean of lint and debris to maintain grip over time. Please note that hook and loop is intended for attachment and organization only. It is not rated for climbing, rescue, or any load-bearing use, and it should never support body weight or secure heavy loads on its own. When strength is critical, pair it with properly rated webbing and hardware.
