    Hey Dan. It’s not just for guys. :). I’ve been carrying using Kore Essential belts for about 3 years now. I wear no other gun belt than Kore Essentials!

    I was ecstatic when I received my kore essentials belts in the mail. Of course, I sized my belts, attached their buckles, and the first thing I do Dry fire practice from concealment hah! The belt was almost as rigid as my EDC hybrid cobra webbing belt but the greater flexibility of the leather moved with my body better throughout the day, and it looks incredible! The ratcheting buckle system is genius and I prefer it to the Velcro loop back of common webbing EDC belts. It is robust and will not move from it's setting unless you command it to. The precision and ease of adjustability to my carry (or how big my food baby gets after tacos and beer) adds a level of comfort and ease I haven't found in any other belt I have owned. I look forward to years of use.

    I unfortunately have had mine fail. My kore essentials belt(Coyote nylon with leather backing)after 12 months in the backcountry getting wet, frozen, and hot from the sun had the inner plastic core deform in two different spots and bubble, and the leather separated from the nylon making it uncomfortable. I wore it everyday carrying a Glock 19 daily and in the woods a smaller firearm. I threw it away. Loved its adjustment and look. YMMV anyone interested. My wife’s is holding up well, but was never in the mountains with it really. This experience is only in ref to the Gun Belt by Kore Essentials. Buckle is still good though and I kept that. Glad it works for ya Dan, a good review brother, just wish it lasted for me.

    Ratchet belts are nice but I switched to the arcade elastic belt about 2 years ago and couldn’t be happier!! The elastic is movable but holds great, I even carry with an IWB holster with it no problems at all! That said I like free stuff too, so... lol

    Nice! Belts also work for lightweight hiking. I carry 2 days of food on my belt, when I take a frameless backpack, it really helps those tiny straps. You do need a sturdy belt, though.

    Looked at their web site and ordered one with the Dan Becker Good Deal. I wear at EDC Belt every day that has a velcro closure so it also it fully adjustable. A very handy feature. It will be interesting to see how this one stands up, but with the Dan Becker Seal of Quality I figured I would not go wrong.

    Hi Dan. I noticed that you bought Heet for your alcohol stove. I also used that until a friend of mine who has a bush crafting school posted that Heet has a bunch of harmful chemicals in it. It's designed for car engines. May I recommend using Denatured Alcohol. Works just as good without the harmful chemicals. Also the higher percentage rubbing alcohol works great. I would not want to cook and eat anything cooked over Heet. God Bless Brother

  • @ScottSimmons

    Cool belt. I use a Grip6 belt. Looks like it has all the same benefits but with an additional benefit of the tong fitting underneath the belt itself, so it never flaps or causes issues with what you have hanging off you belt. Yours looks cool too, with that clicky ratchet thing.

  • @DerekComer-z4u

    I'm Canadian, so not allowed to "carry" anything heavy on my belt.
    But I have been looking for a really good belt to wear every day.
    The old beer belly can cause grief to a regular belt.
    Might just have to give one of these a try. Price is decent so the exchange rate will not kill me.

  • @johnfrancis6940
    @johnfrancis6940 4 роки тому

    Seems pretty legit. I use web type belts for work, so can totally relate to the fold over.. I’m a little beefy, and my typical thing I carry on my belt varies, but even the little one makes my web belt fold over sometimes.

    I have a couple of ratchet style belts (more for dress than outdoor activity). Got them for $20-30 on Amazon (different brands). I've had one for just over a year and it's really great, hardly shows any wear. I'm a big fellow so put some strain on belts. I hadn't thought of a nylon/webbing version. Gonna check this one out. Thanks!

  • @chadmitchem7472
    @chadmitchem7472 4 роки тому +1

    Hey Dan!
    Now I don't doubt for a second that different belt designs are ultimately needed for the variety of functions and preferences. The Kore Essentials belt looks very solid for holding the "pressures" by either things being attached to it or the "inside pressures" we'll say. :) I had never heard of them but will check them out for sure! Being a backpacker though...a few years ago I went looking for a belt that would work especially well in combination with a hip belt. Grip6.com cannot be ignored in the world of quality and simplicity (compare the buckles!). I love them for everyday wear and I especially love them for wearing beneath a hip belt. But I have not carried significant weight on the belt itself...but I'm sure the Kore Essentials shines there! Thanks for your awesome, always informative channel! I'm sure any potential benefit to me by posting here will be negated by mentioning another brand....but I had to. :) #packon

  • @metouw
    @metouw 4 роки тому

    I came across this concept for belts back when I had my first visit to China and I've used it ever since for everyday use. It's like a zip tie that you can easily open again. However from my experience this type of "leather" tends to crack open after a while. It's a bit annoying. Also for hiking I prefer to use what seems to be called a 'canvas belt'. The canvas seems more flexible and light compared to a zip tie belt - better suited for hiking if you ask me.

  • @riddleadventures9725

  • @adammorris8472
    @adammorris8472 4 роки тому +1

    Kore belts are totally legit folks. I have a black leather and one green tactical and you really can't get a better belt.And yes these track belts as they are called do act like a giant zip tie only these are very nice quality. The best quality of any of the track belt brands if you ask me. If you eat too much you can subtly let it out without anyone noticing or take in the belt when your waist is smaller, even when walking. I will never go back to regular belts again Im spoiled. Thanks to Dan for the review.

    Dickies made a version of that style of belt that I used own and I liked it very much. Was sold by Wally World for around $20 (not anymore). Unfortunately for $20, it wasn’t made to last or hold my holster and didn’t last more than 2 years.

  • @alexweigelhikes
    @alexweigelhikes 4 роки тому

    Great video! No one ever talks about belts. Others are probably going to mention this, but I'm a huge fan of the Grip 6. It's completely on the other end of the spectrum in terms of heavy duty. It's really only meant to hold up your pants or shorts, which is perfect if that's all you need it to do. It's really light weight, it's infinitely adjustable (no problems of being between holes), and most of all, the buckle lays really, really flat. I get tired of other buckles that get caught on things, but the Grip 6 just doesn't have that problem. They make a carbon fiber one, which I want because of the ridiculousness rather than the ultalight-ness. (If we're being honest with ourselves "ultra-light" would be a piece of para-cord or just running shorts. But I digress.) Also, sorry, no Instagram account here :-(

    Looks like an awesome belt. Way better the traditional style belts. With different thicknesses of pants would be easier to dial in the perfect fit. I sometimes find myself wishing I had a hole or a notch in between the factory holes because one feels to tight and one feels to loose. Already a follower on UA-cam, Instagram, and Facebook.
