I went from using a regular dress belt this past over 2 years(only started carrying 2+yrs ago) to using a kore essential a little more than a week ago and I can't tell you how much I love this thing. I had no idea how comfortable and convenient carrying could be until I got one of these belts. No more having to strangle my waist with the dress belt, and no more having to keep it loose when I'm driving only to have to make it super obvious that I'm retightening a belt when I get out of my car in a store parking lot with the dress belt, with the core it's super fast and discreet to do that and I absolutely love these small increments of fastening. Blows the notch system of the dress belt out of the water. I just absolutely love this thing haha. I got the X7 Buckle by the way :-)

I've worn my first ever Kore belt every day for at least 2.5 years now and it's still holding up good as new. Beats any other belt I've used prior by multitudes, I wouldn't (and won't) use anything else!

Absolute quality! I bought a leather and a nylon one about two years ago, worn every day and they still look great and operate flawlessly. Just received 2 more…one for my dad and another for me! It has changed EDC for me, and honestly, I can’t stand to wear anything else even when I can’t carry. The ratchet system is hands-down superior to any other clasp style belt. I wish I would have known about the discount code 2 weeks ago 😢

I have two kore Essentials belts and they are fantastic. So far they are holding up quite well with about a year of use.

I have a 1/2 dozen of these, some are used for CCW, the others are set up as War Belts, using a Wilder Tactical minimalist belt pad. The thing that really makes them great is you can expand them for sitting, big mels, or tightening for Gear.

Heg I have been rocking these kore belts for over 7 years and own 9 of them in tac web and leather and carbon and multicam and even the battle belt. I swear these guys make the best most adjustable belts ever. I met them at the NRA show this past year and super nice guys and they are dedicated to the brand. Plan to buy more this next year too.

I have 4 total Kore belts, 2 black tactical, 1 black leather, and their coyote battle belt. They’re awesome belts and I’m super happy with them. My only issue is that the buckles (except the x7) are a little larger and I have to run the belt buckle at the 7-8o clock position for appendix carry

Love Kore Essential belts, been using them for a few years...best everyday and carry belt, I use the tactical belt EDC. and have a casual and dress belt also. Working now for Firearms Company and have to go thru a metal detector daily, I asked Kore Essential if they would make a buckle that is non-metal. They don't have one as of today but would talk it over... If anyone has go to buildings with metal detectors, please let Kore Essential know you want a non metal belt buckle. The more folks ask the more motivation they will have to make them. Thanks, great show

I run these belts as well. they are legit.

Love my KORE belt. looking to get another.

After you talked about that belt in the past I bought one and have not regretted it one bit quality at fair price

I've had 2 tactical belts for a year now and they are great belts. I will not buy any other belt. They simply do what they are intended to do.

I was on the first kickstarter that Kore did and have about 7 belts. When they first started they said that if you mess up cutting the belt that they would send you a new one. Now they say that you cut it so too bad. The problem with their belts is that 1) the stiffener makes your hips and back feel the weight, 2) the stiffener stops at the plastic ratchet insert in the belt, and 3) the leather belts crack on the inside of the belt where the plastic ratchet insert ends so it flops around. For 2) what that means is if you AIWB then you have to shift the belt so you clip onto the stiffener portion or the belt flexes like a normal belt. For 3 or 4 o’clock it works fine, but for AIWB you end up with the buckle riding on your hip bone if you are skinny or digging into your side - and the buckle is thick! I gave up on Kore for AIWB and switched to Agonic’s EDB. My back doesn’t feel it anymore. I use my Kore belts for when I don’t or can’t carry - especially for buffets. 😂

Kore multicam black is super super sick! I never had a belt this good, Def going to get leather and coyote tactical version. I just bouight one for my dad and brother for christmas.

I have had one for about five years now and it’s holding up very well. I need to get another one.

I chose Kore for my first CC belt. I wanted something that I could wear to work. 8 months later and no complaints.

Sweet. I literally just bought an X6 tactical in coyote brown. Switching up from a We The People Holsters belt. Looking forward to it

Just purchased the 1.5 edc tactical black belt. Really impressed with the 1/4 “ adjustments. I have a brown leather carry belt, it’s about a 1/4” thick with the regular belt buckle with 3/4 hole spacing. It’s been retired after purchasing the Kore belt. Thanks

I won't use anything but KORE ❤

Agree with Heg the kore belts are very well made and totally adjustable belts. I want to get a brown leather next.

I like my Kore. I've heard guys talk shit on them. They are comfy, they have a few nice buckles that aren't bulky. I'm actually shopping for another one, debating on checking out nexbelt.

Kore Leather belts doesn't hold up and Kore doesn't warranty them past 1 year. I had 3 leather Kore belts that cracked. All 3 belts cracked just over one year. Very convenient for Kore. They wouldn't replace them. I don't recommend Kore.

Kore is the best. Garrison still has trouble holding up my X-Macro Rig, paired with 3 back-up magazines. Lol

I just went & ordered the IWB tactical belt foe appendix. Thank you for the discount saved like $7 bucks. Hopefully it's comfortable enough for daily use & carry. If not I'll send it back for the leather 1. Looking forward to trying it out. 25yrs carrying a gun & NEVER used a specific belt lol

Just looked at Kore sight. Kore makes 2.25 😮 Duty Belts now. 😍

I don’t even own a gun yet and already bought two belts simply because of your review! 😂😂😂

I prefer the Grip6 Belt. Variable adjustment, belt tucks through the buckle leaving no hanging chads and its stiff and sturdy (different stiffnesses). Been wearing it for 3 years now and literally no signs of wear. I have tested their 100% no questions asked guarantee also. They stand by their products. Even though I originally ordered a belt that ended up being to light of webbing, they courteously and happily replaced the belt portion with a new one giving me a much stiffer belt. Might consider using as a battle belt.

We carry these belts at our ffl in Charleston and all the guys who work here wear them. Its prob the best edc belt for ccw you can get.

Thanks for the good information. I just ordered two belts. Since my waist seems to keep changing, this will ve ideal

I had to pause the video to retrieve my Black Friday kore deal from the mail. I’ve had the T1C version for a couple of years. I think it’s great. That X7 buckle is almost half the size of the T1C buckle which is confusing at face value. I’m definitely going to add another X7 buckle. Belt hanger, extra keepers, a protective sleeve and the belt and buckle combo cost $60 shipped from Black Friday

Gun, holster, kore belt thats how it goes.

Just bought one of these after quickly realizing with my first purchase that a regular belt would not survive a draw if I ever had to. Night and day difference.

I'm a Star Wars fan and have a pair of these belts. I went with the "This Is The Way" buckle. 😄

Great review. Very helpful.

I stopped using a Kore for EDC since switching to an Enigma. But it's for sure my go-to Battle Belt.

Nice video,I’m ordering mine rn!!

I had a Nxt belt for a long time and thought it was great.. one day I bought a Kore and realized I was wrong about next belts! They’re fine, but mine started to fray at the edges and there’s a spot on the belt that looks like the inner lining broke or something. I wore the next belt for like 7 months before it started to fall apart.. my Kore belt has lasted well past a year without any sign of damage or anything

Yup...best carry belt, hands down👌👍

Yep. They are the best 👍

For me, best EDC belts...every day...all day.

You convinced me with this video and I will be using your discount code. Great vid thanks !

There x7 buckle is great for AIWB, nice and small and cool.

I've been running kore essentials every day for the past two years. Nowhere close to having to replace it yet

So I originally had 2 Nexbelts that I were gifted to me in 2021. Man what a joke that belt is! They pale in comparison to the Kore belts honestly Nexbetls kinked up and frayed in just monthsI realized my next belt needed to be a kore belt big difference in quality, in support and definitely quality. Strangely most of the nexbelts are MORE expensive than kore,Dont believe me check out the websites for yourself.

Such a pain. Been looking everywhere for a 1.25" belt with a low profile buckle. They are mostly all 1.5" and have a larger buckle that will dig into me when I sit down. It's so annoying.

My local range sells these belts. They are the dopest

Just bought a Kore "Tactical" 1.5" with the x7 buckle, I wanted to use this belt for concealed carry, maybe I got the wrong belt for this purpose? but this belt is wayyyyy to stiff and doesn't conform to my waist leaving to much of a gap.

Now my belly might weigh a little more 😂.

Looking for a leather version that is larger than 54-inched. Their longer belt is available only in nylon (not leather). I have asked them repeatedly to make the longer belt. Nothing yet. Help?

I can not clamp the leather belt buckle down all the way.i think the leather is too tough to press the clamp into the leather. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Buyer beware. These belts are made in China. They do hold up, but they're made cheapy as possible. The non-leather feels very cheap but rigid.

Have you tried the usa made tactical belt yet?

Do they have a option to use your own buckle.

Never point a firearm at anything you don't want to destroy....Unless it's your junk or femoral artery....

About 3 years ago I bought the kore gun belt, but just noticed the belt is separating and is no longer usable

What changed that made it "better" than the earlier model, and how do you know if you're getting the newer model? The website is unclear. Thanks
