The Best Belt on the market
August 14, 2023

I've been in public safety for almost 40 years and have tried many different duty belts. This is the Best!

I have 8 years of military and 20 years of law enforcement service. I have worn duty belts and conceal carried weapons and gear for the majority of my adult life. The kore belt and ratcheting buckle are a huge leap forward over any other belt I have worn. It gives the support and weight distribution of a 1.75 inch duty belt in a concealed carry belt. I regularly carry a Glock 20 and 34 concealed and this belt spreads the weight so effectively I forget they are there. The ratcheting buckle allows you to make minor adjustments during the day while standing, sitting and driving. These adjustments keep your weapon concealed and your back comfortable. This belt is highly recommended by me.

Wow
November 22, 2022

I can't believe the quality of these belts. Bought 2 belts three weeks ago. I couldn't be happier. They say if you want a quality product you have to pay for it, in this case that couldn't be more true. Don't look any further, buy this belt. Any of them. You won't regret it.

To be quite honest everything about these Kore Essentials belts are 5 stars, looks, comfort, quality, functionality, all perfect. Hands down the best belts I have ever owned (I own 2). I will never buy a belt from another manufacturer again. I am planing to buy a 3rd in the tactical size. I have recommended these belts to my whole family. So why 4 stars and not five There is one missing feature that would make this 100% the best EDC belt ever. It needs to have a money belt zipper for cash and documents. The belt I had for years before this was a money belt, but it was cheap garbage, the buckles would brake, ugly nylon web only looked good with casual cloths, difficult to size without melting the end of the nylon. The only thing I miss about my old belt is the money pocket. If you make a great leather belt like the one I got with a money pocket I will buy another one, or 2, or 3.

Best firearm related purchase ever!
May 6, 2022

I actually purchased two Kore Essentials gun belts and two buckles. I've scoffed, for years, at those who insisted that a true gun belt was an essential element of concealed carry. I've been carrying concealed daily for nearly 30 years and I feel like such a fool after using my Kore equipment for the last couple of months. These are absolutely essential. Nuff said. My experience with KORE has been exceptional and very refreshing. I'm sold.

Amazing Belt!
May 3, 2022

First of all I am an admitted leather belt snob. I have spent a fortune on belts over the years and I was skeptical when a friend told me about this. After losing quite a bit of weight I found myself unable to properly adjust my traditional belt. It was either too tight or too loose and when out in public my pants would sag or it would have to be so tight it was uncomfortable. I found myself needing to adjust the old style belt quite often, which is hard to do in public without looking like some kind of perv. There was just no happy medium. This product solves all that, and I think it is phenomenal. When seated, the belt can be loosened and discreetly tightened a few clicks when walking or standing. It has the proper stiffness a gun belt needs to support the weight of equipment, and yet it is not as thick as many of my other belts which has caused problems with threading through holster belt loops etc. It is also quite comfortable. I especially appreciate the fact that it is sold in one long length and is easily cut to accommodate any sized waist without needing a degree in engineering to order the correct size. This product is a winner and I foresee buying more from this company. It takes a lot to impress me, but they have done just that.

SHIPPING AND RECEIVING GREAT
Took only 4 days to ship with the least expensive shipping cost and got to me on a Saturday. Belt lives up to the reputation everyone says obviously genuine reviews now that I have the belt in my hands not paid to say good things about it. Buckle is very easy to put on less than 3 minutes only needing my own pair of scissors to cut the belt to my length. Only needs to hold up long term for me now which I am positive it will from everything else ive seen on these brand belt.

The perfect EDC belt
April 27, 2022

I'm naturally skeptical of pretty much everything, and these belts were no different. To say I'm completely satisfied is an understatement. Extremely comfortable and easier to use than a standard belt, keeps everything in place perfectly, and best of all with the track system, it's perfect for when you decide to hit the local buffet and need to let things a little more loose. 10/10, it's my every day belt from now on; carrying or not.

Black and Brown X9
April 22, 2022

Kore makes my favorite belts! The Buckles are durable, appropriate for use with casual and business attire, easily adjustable and their minimal size doesn't interfere with gear! I hope the X9 line will be expanded to black, silver/stainless steal and/or gold. The leather belts themselves hold their shape, haven't shown wear and the colors pair well with my footwear and jackets. By the by, I started a weight loss regimen three months ago--when I got the belts--and have gone from 223 to 188 pounds…losing several inches off my waistline! It's great having belts that conform to my body without having to punch unsightly holes through leather.

Great
April 15, 2022

These Kore belts are great for even fat guys. So the belt arrived quickly. It was easy to assemble and even fits a guy with a 48 inc waist. Works great and holds my Springfield hellcat with no problems in the appendix carry position. Can't wait to see how it holds up over time.

Amazing belts
April 1, 2022

These guys make Amazing belts. I have 30 years of military and law enforcement experience. I'm a professional shooter and I'm a full time firearms instructor at work and own my own side business. I am involved with many great companies and I don't support bad products. My favorite belt of 18 years was looking beat up. I have been looking at the Kore products since their launch. I was on the fence. I finally said screw it. Get it try it out and at least your can help answer your students questions. BEYOND amazed and satisfied by these belts. Buy with confidence and they will be my go to belt and recommendation for anyone I talk with about belts HANDS DOWN.

Excellent Gun Belt
March 26, 2022

These guys make excellent gun belts. Love the adjustability and the way it holds my gun, mag, etc. Very well made. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Easy to use and adjust. The belt never loosens up until you release the lever for adjustment or to take it off.

Outstanding Product
March 2, 2022

I don't do reviews unless a product proves outstanding... and here I am, of all the things, reviewing a belt. I've purchased many leather belts in my life, and one of them that I thought would be my last I've worn almost daily for more than twenty years. Well, I've abandoned all the other belts I own since purchasing my first Kore belt a few months ago. I love the discreet and easy adjustments after a full meal, or body transitions from seating/standing, or unusual body working positions, etc. The secure retention of the adjustment mechanism is excellent. The belt does not slip or slide around the waist. The belt and buckle are of high quality and finish. I really like the price point on these belts and feel it's an excellent value. Sometimes one comes across a product so outstanding that loving it cannot be helped - this is one of those products! All belts (not just gun belts) aspire to be a Kore quality belt. No doubt I'll be adding more Kore belts to match my wardrobe. Bravo to Kore.

Awesome EDC Gun Belt...
February 18, 2022

I purchased the Kore X5 belt in August of 2020 and have worn it every day since receiving it. My EDC is meant to be just that and I want performance and to have confidence in my rig. I carry IWB with two extra mags OWB and this belt keeps it secure and comfortable. It's easy to adjust the tension and the belt is built to last. It is a thumbs up from me.

Very Sturdy!
February 9, 2022

These are very sturdy belts and do a great job holding up with an appendix carry holster. The micro adjustment feature is fantastic! It seems that most belts exist to be an accessory to the pants but this belt holds up the pants and just about anything you hang on it.

Best Gun Belt Ever!
February 9, 2022

I use their Tan Tactical as my go to for concealed carry, in conjunction with Alien Gear IWB holsters. The belt is used for either a Glock 42 or a Glock 20, depending on the circumstances. Super adjustable and very comfortable to wear. LOVE THIS BELT!
