The hook and loop fastener comprises a first fastener portion provided with a fastener pile containing hooks or both hooks and loops. This first fastener portion is intended to cooperate with a second fastener portion provided with a fastener pile which contains loops or both hooks and loops. To protect each of the fastener piles of the fastener portions from being excessively loaded under compression each of the fastener portions is provided with at least one compression-resistant spacer or distance member arranged alongside the associated fastener pile. The thickness of each such spacer or distance member amounts to at most the height of the related fastener pile, preferably is however slightly less than such fastener pile height.
