I received mine on Saturday. This thing is amazing, I wont be wearing my 511 nylon belt any longer. This is phenomenal. Thank you for a great product. This will be EDC belt. I would not hesitate buying this product again.
I bought this Kore gun belt to try out as a possible concealed carry belt and so far the belt has been great. Very comfortable and easy to cut down to size. I bought one in black and am thinking of getting one in brown.
Used the Kore belt daily over last few weeks. It works perfectly. The trakline's ability to adjust in 1/4in increments is perfect for keeping a CCW close to the body without printing, as well as, provide a perfect fit with or without carrying. Highly recommend and will purchase another color belt soon.
Try getting your Kore belt wet. In under 5 minutes it will partially FAIL. It will delaminate. This could cause the belt to break. All 3 of my Kore belts after 4 years have delaminated to some degree or another. Any belt that can fail can cause you to have LEGAL trouble by making you hand-hold your pistol after your belt fails.
Six weeks ago I bought both a Kore Tactical gun belt and the BladeTech/Nexbelt Ultimate Carry Belt to try out and compare. I carry a Glock 19 appendix, Incog holster, wallet and a cellphone so the belt needs to support a good amount of weight. I noticed the first week that I preferred the release tab on the Kore belt, so I started wearing it exclusively to work. Then this past weekend (week #6) I decided to wear the BladeTech Nexbelt to an event with my wife. About mid-way through the event I noticed my holster moving around quite a bit and went to the restroom to check what was going on. I noticed that one of the screws that holds the two piece buckle together was gone. My wardrobe malfunction required a discreet trip to the car to remove my gear. At the time when it broke, I had worn the Nexbelt maybe 7 times, so I was less than impressed. A funny part of this story is that I mistakenly sent an email to Kore customer service about the problem, instead of Nexbelt. In less than an hour Kore responded with swift instructions on how to get a replacement buckle. It was then that I realized my mistake. I only mention this because I was blown away by customer support responding over the weekend. In contrast, I have yet to get a response after a few days from Bladetech. I'm not saying that's a terrible thing as it's only been a few days, but it's not as awesome as the Kore customer service experience. My Kore gun buckle and tactical belt has been used roughly 36 days now and is still rock solid. Add to that the excellent customer support and my choice is Kore from here on out.
I’ve purchased 4 gun belts and buckles from Kore Essentials. I've given 2 away as gifts. Superior products in every respect. Both as a general belt and most importantly an EDC gun belt. I carry 9mm pistols. There is absolutely no twisting or breakdown of these belts in any way. I've tried tactical and other style belts. None of them fill the all around tactical and dress the way a Kore belt does. Thanks guys !!!
I use the Kore belt for EDC with a 1911 a double mag pouch and it works perfectly. It’s extremely durable and sturdy enough to hold the weight with ease. I give it a high recommend, if you need an awesome gun belt.
KORE makes the Best Gun Belt ever owned. I recently bought my second reinforced belt from them, a heavy-duty brown belt this time. These belts are absolutey GREAT. Very sturdy, no give or folding when used with holster. So easy to adjust. Put IWB holster in place and just pull the belt and "click click" it's perfectly adjusted to the right tension. I recommend to anyone who carries. GREAT belt for non carry too.
I have a Kore leather gun belt with ratchet buckle and Love it. Rigid but not too rigid. Easy to adjust makes it perfect IWB or OWB or if you need to leave your gun in the car and need to to tighten your belt up. Super Quality.
Love the Kore belt I bought the Kore gun belt and so far it's great. It works great as both a gun belt and just as a regular belt. I think every belt I buy from now on will be a ratcheting style belt. As far as a gun belt, it's shines there too. It's not too thick but very ridged. I use an IWB holster and so far there are no marks on the belt from the holster clip. What a great belt. I'm very particular about things and I can easily say I would buy this belt again and again. (but the quality is such that I don't think I will need to)
After several failed attempts to obtain a comfortable gun belt for EDC the Kore Essentials belt met all my expectations. The quality rigidity, comfort and price filled the bill. I would highly recommend this belt to anyone looking for one. Another feature that was really important was that being a big person the belt was plenty big and it allowed me to adjust it to my size with no problem.
So far my Kore belt has been awesome. It holds my S&W 9mm 2.0 compact with NO problem. It's a solid gun belt. If you have back issues this is the belt for you. I've had 3 back surgeries and usually can't wear a belt for a long time. Let me tell you, with this belt being stiff if distributes all the weight and pressure equally all the way around your waist. I love the quarter inch adjustment. I can wear this belt all the time with with a iwb holster. I wear this belt with and without my gun, it's that good.
The Kores are definitely stiffer than the Nexbelts. Almost too stuff in some cases for everyday wear for me. They certainly do well holding a guy also with that added stiffness.
Kore Makes the Best Dam Belt Ever!! I bought a Kore gun belt and wanted to give it a real test before I rated it, so far this is the Best Quality and Best Built Gun Belt that I have ever purchased. I originally purchased this "Gun Belt" to have a Conveniently, Strong, Good Looking, Belt that I could use for a CCW Holster of my choosing. I will Purchase another one soon. Very Impressed!!
Kore Gun Belt Is Worth It I was hesitant about spending so much for a Kore gun belt simply because it was stiffer than the other gun belts. It's proven to be a great decision. I will buy another. They are firm, though its very comfortable. I can wear an IWB holster and almost forget it's there. For anybody unsure - I can say you won't be disappointed with the Kore gun belts. Good, fast, shipping and certainly a quality product.
I just started wearing one for my off duty plain clothes details and since I carry off duty all the time I also have one for when I wear a suit and tie or business casual out on the town. Love it!
Kore - The Best Gun Belts Ever MadeI just purchased 3 new Trakline gun belts made by Kore. I feel these are the best gun belts made, as the quality is second to none. This is my second time purchasing from Kore and I will definitely buy all my gun belts from them. I love the trakline adjustments for all day comfort when carrying a concealed firearm. I also love how the belt holds it shape.
Yep, they are great belts as well. Check out my vid on them: ua-cam.com/video/ZapO8dfJ8MU/v-deo.html They are reinforced for some extra stiffness. I have no idea why this vid has over 8k views and the Kore one only has ~800
I stand corrected. Took a few minutes and did some research. Nothing but positive reviews and comments. Also took a closer look at the release. It's nowhere near being accidentally depressed. like this belt for casual look. May consider one. Once again I stand corrected.
I have a linx 1" belt, trackline/kore gun belt, and just got this tactical nylon. I should have bought the kore first! I literally just got the nylon belt. I love the look and feel. There is no roll, and I have no doubt it will handle the concealed carry mode I bought it for. I bought a nice thick leather belt and it just couldn't adjust the way I wanted it to. The ratcheting belts are the stuff! Comparing the trackline/kore to the nexbelt I see that the kore buckle is spring loaded, and the nexbelt uses a magnet. I prefer the spring loading. If the nexbelt has problems I'll just switch out the buckle.
Yea, I suppose they are all interchangeable enough. Kore is coming out with a nylon belt. There's a link to their kickstarter campaign on my Kore video.
Snareman for those that don't know kore gun belts are the original gun belts that ratchet and more important they are stiffer and better made materials. I had the nextbelt and it was not as stiff and as well made.
The newer Nexbelts are actually a lot stiffer than the original ones. For me, the originals were perfect and actually don't like the newer stiffer ones as much. The Kores (see my vids on them) are I think even a step stiffer.
This belt as ridges that are likely to scratch your leather seats in your car it wore mine down had you put a seat cover over it. Probably not very common two others I deliver paper so I reach over passenger-side a lot. After wearing inside waistband holster belt has formed to that holster and makes it hard to carry another without the belt digging into your back. Been using this belt for about eight months. Its strong light weight with very little sag, Good built for the price.
Ya probably not very common two others as much as I reach over passenger-side (right side, console side of seat is where most damage is where the seat pops out to “hug” the driver) and i also constantly pull bundles from the backseat to the front (driver side has light scratches nothing like otherside though). Im also 32 inch so there is no extra me to help protect seat lol I appreciate you telling me about their leather belts. I’m about to make another purchase soon, is that the new tactical belt you did the video on as course of a material? From the look I d probably be better off with leather
So yeah after 80 miles 600 customers (300 hundred reaches out each side of vehicle) 4 days a week it wouldn’t matter if your shirt was tucked in or if you had a jacket on as much moving as I do inside the vehicle the seat got scratched up but for the average Joe who just sits and drives 10 mins or so to and from work should be just fine.
@@Gogetter0118 Those belts were all from a few years ago. They have some new ones, some slight changes on the ones I did and I hear they may be coming out with some new stuff by the end of the year.
My experience with the lighter color nylon belts is they do discolor over the years. I would recommend going with black nylon belts where possible. They also fray over time, even with factory cut ends. With that said I do prefer nylon over leather. You get leather wet its pretty much finished. Quality leather is also heavy and smells. Great review as always. The Nexbelt's lack of a retainer at its price point is not good, you can't always rely on pants/shorts to have a belt loop in the right place. I would be interested in hearing if the belts release mechanism can be accidentally activated.
I guess it depends on how you wear them as far as them getting dirty. I've been wearing that tan Wilderness Tactical belt I show for years and it still looks almost brand new.
On the mechanism, I'm not really concerned about that happening. I suppose if you got really "lucky" and something looked that small little lever it could happen, but that would have to be quite the coincidence for it to happen.
I have a 5.11 tan belt I have had for about 7-year it's a bit patchy color wise It could be UV from the sun perhaps. When it gets dirty I throw it in the wash, which is another reason to buy nylon. A minor detail I guess given the long life of the belt... it's still going. =)
I was on the fence between kore & next/bladetech.4 months ago.the cheep looking plastic belt tip caps or whatever they are started popping up everywhere.got confusing so went kore nylon.heard it's" less stiff" than earlier nylon version but hope it breaks in more .it should in time.comfortable but that strap looks plenty stiff enough and easier to use right out of the box.can't buy them all.I can't but some people may keep buying more and more trying to find perfection.carry S&W 66-2,2.5" in OWB Garrett industries STX with leather straps & pull dot snaps.straight drop.3 o'clock ,& sometimes up front .can't tell it's there under a t-shirt.it's good.365 xl soon.Will figure something out when the time comes.
The tips on the Nexbelt's are leather. It's nice actually. My favorite was the original nylon Nexbelt. I thought it was the perfect amount of stiffness, which is to say, not very stiff, but was still great for holding a gun. The new ones are too stiff for my tastes. I have the new Kore as well (check out my video on it) and they are less stiff than the original Kore. Still prefer the original Nexbelt, but they don't exist anymore. Kore makes a great product.
Great review,,however I am not a fan of the click hold belts for carrying a firearm because the mechanisms tend to weaken and slip in time(not years either) but I would get one of these just as a belt after seeing this review. Thanks
I thought they were gimmicky before I tried then, but I have worn this belt almost every day since making this video and haven't had any problems with it.
I've switched to ratchet belts. They cost $15 on Amazon and are not for carrying anything. I only wear belts as a job requirement. I like the lever to be at the top, so I wear my belt upside down, haha.
My black tactical Kore ratchet belt is stiffer and i would say better made then my OD green Nexbelt ratchet belt and my Hanks belt with holes is even stiffer than both but not in tactical which I prefer.
Interesting! I have never had a belt where the extra length went to the right. Makes me wonder if I have been holding up my pants wrong all my life. Could a guy mess up suspenders?
I have one of these. after very minimal wear the notch on the buckle that locks into the track started to lose spring tension and the belt would slip. wouldn't stay locked in place. and I mean very minimal use. contacted next belt and they were awesome and sent me a replacement buckle asap. now after a few more weeks of off and on wear it's starting to slip also. Not as bad as the first but my guess is after a couple more weeks it will be the same. they need to redesign the spring or something. wondering if you've experienced this? wonder if this would be an issue with all track belts?. think I'll try the Kore belts next. this belt looks awesome but has a major flaw in design.
Shawn Bowen has the issue worsened? I have a kore gun belt, and just received this belt. I like it a lot. Worse case scenario I can use the kore buckle. You can also order the kore buckles separately.
Mitchell Teeters I wouldn't say it's worsened but it has slipped on me a couple times out in public which is not good when carrying. Once while I slightly bent forward and once while just walking. It hasn't gotten nearly as loose as the first one though. The first one wouldn't even lock on the first half of the track. Now that I know I can buy a kore buckle by itself I may go that route next and try it. The track belt idea is genius and once you have one you don't want to go back to regular buckles. But there needs to be a more solid design.
Ok I looked at the belts again. I have a linx 1" non gun belt, the kore/track line belt, and the nexbelt. If you want the tactical nylon you have to go nexbelt. The trackline buckle is spring loaded while the nexbelt uses a magnet. That might explain the lack of strength in the ratcheting. There is a notable difference.
Mitchell Teeters Well the belt finally gave out bad. It's now as bad as the first and slips horribly. I can latch it and get it to pull back out sometimes up to 5". I've had it slip in public a few times. Not good! I ordered a kore belt now and just got it. I can actually see the spring on the kore buckle. Hopefully it holds up better. I really wish the next belt would have lasted. I loved the design of the buckle and the canvas belt but man, for $60 it's not worth it at all. Only lasted a few months of minimal easy wear!
Shawn Bowen is it the plastic ratchet portion that quit on you or the buckle? Just change out the buckle if that is the problem. I would certainly contact nexbelt to get a warranty exchange. I've had good luck so far with my belt, Ets hope it holds up.
What I most dislike about "gun belts" is that the buckle is too thick and print on untucked shirts. Could you compare the Nexbelt with 5.11 Apex and Ares Gear belts for buckle thickness?
Thanks. I'm wearing mine as I type. They are great belts. The holster is a Pro-Tek (I have a video on it) although I think he might not still be making it as I can't find his facebook page anymore
SnareMan, what is your preference on the release lever? Feed the belt thru to your left and release lever on the buckle on the bottom? or feed thru to the right and release lever on the buckle on the top?
I always feed to the right with the release on top as it's easier to control and then also if I'm carrying spare magazines on the left the tail doesn't interfere with them.
I picked up a nexbelt last month but it wasn't stiff enough to support my rig cause it rolls and my rig is sub compact. Then buckle broke. They said they'd replace it but the belt was not doing to trick so whats the point.
How much stuff are you carrying? It did fine for me. The newer ones are actually a lot stuffer. Actually a little too stiff for everyday wear for me. I thought these original ones were perfect. I guess it depends on when you got yours which one you got
How would you rate this belt compared to the Ares Gear Aegis belt? I carry a full sized pistol and spare magazine iwb on my appendix, and sometimes a 2nd compact pistol at 4 oclock iwb.
So, the belt in this vid is a little more pliable, but they have since redesigned them and they are much stiffer. I think the Ares is still stiffer. I've carried compact and full sized guns on this with no problem. I thought this original version was the 'perfect' belt. Comfortable enough for every day at work (with no gun) and great for carrying a gun. I wear this belt pretty much daily and almost never wear the Ares, both still being great belts.
@@SnareMan thanks for your reply. I recently picked up the Ares Aegis belt and I'm very pleased with it, as its much easier to take on and off than my old SOE EDC belt with the cobra belt buckle (thank god I lost so much weight and needed a new belt, I had no idea how much better and more convenient they have gotten in the last few years). Still, I may look into one of these in their leather gun belt configurations to wear at weddings etc. Thanks for doing these reviews, they are very well done.
@@imacarguy27 Yea, those cobra buckles seem like they can be a bit of a pain. Check out my Browncoat Tactical review where I do a timed race between the two. Thanks for the kind words on the vids!
So how do you like the belt so far? I wear a riggers belt for work and sometimes dealing with the Velcro is a pain. I have 14 years in Law Enforcement and if this belt is comfortable I will certainly try it out. Thank you for the video and GOD Bless.
True Patriot 09 honestly, since getting these belts I haven't worn my Wilderness Tactical belts once. these are just so much easier to get on and off. I have another belt video that I am going to be posting in the next day or two as well.
Guys, look into Grip 6. Cheaper and better lock mechanism from what I'm reading. Has carried my Glock 43 for over a year now. Judging by comments, and by these guys font choice, this is $20 more expensive knock-off.
This is a knock off of which belt? The ratchet style on these is entirely different than the Grip6 buckle. What does the font have to do with anything? Also depends on which style looking buckle you prefer.
Yes, the buckle design is different, but it's more complex and the increased number of parts to the buckle increases the number of ways it can fail, and judging from comments, it WILL fail. Grip 6 is the best belt I've ever bought and unless I get a bigger gun the only other belt I would buy is a klik. The nexbelt is overpriced garbage. Buy a Grip 6. $35 and it should last you for life.
I haven't tried the Grip6 so I can't comment on them, but I have worn the Nexbelt pretty much daily with and without a gun on for the past year and haven't had a problem with them. They are far from junk. You can argue cost and value, but as you say, there are more moving parts to the Nexbelt and Kore belts compared to the Grip6 so it would make sense that they'd be more expensive. They both have similar thin fonts, but the names don't share any of the same letters so I don't know if they are the same font or not. The Grip6 look like nice belts, but personally I like a little larger looking buckle or a buckle with a little more design to it. Their hexagonal one looks nice perhaps. I'm not knocking the Grip6 at all, but the Nexbelts are nice belts.
BTW, I hadn't seen the comment below about his buckle slipping until just now somehow (UA-cam keeps screwing with their messaging and notification system). I haven't had any of those problems with mine though, but it sounds like they did get it taken care of for him. Have you actually owned a Nexbelt to say they are junk? I don't have anything vested in the company. They did send me some free belts for the review, but I liked them enough that I bought some more on my own.
Anything like that with a mechanism is going to wear out. Ether the ratchet side or the belt teeth side. Why not just get an Ares Aegis and be done with it.
I've been wearing this belt, either the black or tan one, pretty much daily since I made this video and haven't had a single problem. I do also have an Aegis belt (check out my video on it) although for me it's a little bit too stiff for daily wear. Great belt though
SnareMan It just seems like a flawed design from the start. Anything with gears and or springs is going to eventually fail. The Aegis belt has the same locking system that has been used on belts for many decades.
I get what you're saying about what "should" seem to be, but like I said, I have the experience have having worn these almost daily for 20 months and haven't had a single problem. Having seen commercials for these ratchet type belts on TV I always thought they were a gimmick, but I'm not a believer. I moved last August and like these style belts so much that the box with my regular belts is still taped shut from the move.
The is a knock-off from the ratchet belt we’re it clamps on to the belt it will break off all the time. And it will unravel in time sorry but had one of these.
Wait, before buying a belt from "Nexbelt" be forewarned! They will not stand behind their product, and when they find a flaw with their design, even if your order was made 3 days before they implement their updated version. They will ship from their old stock and will not take a return or exchange it. The rigid click section of their belts will break, and no they will not replace it. If you ask to purchase a replacement strap they refuse and make you buy a complete belt instead. Really lousy customer support! There are way to many quality gun belt manufacturers out there. I would rather pay more for a belt like an S.O.E. tactical gun belt than buy 2 of their inadequately made belts. Save yourself some money and get a good belt, this is a "gimicky" piece of junk!
Better safe than sorry. It don't appeal to me that this belt is anywhere near secure. Unleaa you intend to stand upright all day. Not good and safe for me. Great idea and great belt but not safe with that depressor exposed.
I got this belt a little before I put out this vid and between this and the Kore belts haven't worn any regular belts since. I wear them to work, for shooting, for normal every day carry and haven't had any problems. But if it makes you nervous there are plenty of other good belt options. No worries.
Do you own one to actually know this Nathan? I've been wearing these almost daily since I made this vid a year ago for both normal use as well as for shooting and they are still my favorite belts. Haven't had a problem with them. I have several 5.11 belts as well which are also good, just in a different way. You can check out my vid on them if you haven't aready: ua-cam.com/video/XqeJCa1GPkQ/v-deo.html
@@SnareMan Excellent review of the nexbelt! I was referring to the belt and the fact that it must be sized, defrayed, and buckle installed before wearing. Also the fact that the belt is actually not infinite size considering the ratcheting mechanism goes in quarter inch increments. Sure the ratcheting is small enough that will likely not be noticed and may be a non factor, but all things considered I will be passing on what I'm sure is a great belt. Sorry for the confusion from my initial comment. Great review and thank you for introducing me to the wilderness tatctical belt. Cheers. . . * Edited for correcting auto-correct typos.
This is just like the core essentials belt I just got.. really like it..works great
Yes, they are a similar design. Both good belts.
I received mine on Saturday. This thing is amazing, I wont be wearing my 511 nylon belt any longer. This is phenomenal. Thank you for a great product. This will be EDC belt. I would not hesitate buying this product again.
I bought this Kore gun belt to try out as a possible concealed carry belt and so far the belt has been great. Very comfortable and easy to cut down to size. I bought one in black and am thinking of getting one in brown.
Once you go Kore you don't go back but just own more Kore belts cause you can't own just one.

The trakline's ability to adjust in 1/4in increments is perfect for keeping a CCW close to the body without printing, as well as, provide a perfect fit with or without carrying.

They do work well. Although did you mean to post this on my Kore video? ua-cam.com/video/ZapO8dfJ8MU/v-deo.html
been wearing Kore belt, similar mechanism, very rugged leather, really strong, will look at these.
Try getting your Kore belt wet. In under 5 minutes it will partially FAIL. It will delaminate. This could cause the belt to break.

Just saw that kore now has introduced ratchet range belts, battle belts and even competition belts. The battle is going on my holiday list for sure.
Excellent video !! Super well done. Shown people every aspect of the product, clear, concise, & moved along well !!!
I’ve purchased 4 gun belts and buckles from Kore Essentials. I've given 2 away as gifts. Superior products in every respect. Both as a general belt and most importantly an EDC gun belt. I carry 9mm pistols. There is absolutely no twisting or breakdown of these belts in any way. I've tried tactical and other style belts.

So far my Kore belt has been awesome. It holds my S&W 9mm 2.0 compact with NO problem. It's a solid gun belt. If you have back issues this is the belt for you. I've had 3 back surgeries and usually can't wear a belt for a long time. Let me tell you, with this belt being stiff if distributes all the weight and pressure equally all the way around your waist. I love the quarter inch adjustment. I can wear this belt all the time with with a iwb holster. I wear this belt with and without my gun, it's that good.
The Kores are definitely stiffer than the Nexbelts. Almost too stuff in some cases for everyday wear for me. They certainly do well holding a guy also with that added stiffness.
Kore Makes the Best Dam Belt Ever!!
I bought a Kore gun belt and wanted to give it a real test before I rated it, so far this is the Best Quality and Best Built Gun Belt that I have ever purchased. I originally purchased this "Gun Belt" to have a Conveniently, Strong, Good Looking, Belt that I could use for a CCW Holster of my choosing. I will Purchase another one soon. Very Impressed!!
The Kore's are great as well. Check out my Kore vid too. :-)
Kore Gun Belt Is Worth It
I was hesitant about spending so much for a Kore gun belt simply because it was stiffer than the other gun belts. It's proven to be a great decision. I will buy another. They are firm, though its very comfortable. I can wear an IWB holster and almost forget it's there. For anybody unsure - I can say you won't be disappointed with the Kore gun belts. Good, fast, shipping and certainly a quality product.
I bought Anson belts last year (after your review) and recently got a Nexbelt EDC. I love this belt, more than the Ansons
What do you like better about them?
I just started wearing one for my off duty plain clothes details and since I carry off duty all the time I also have one for when I wear a suit and tie or business casual out on the town. Love it!
I agree. I wear almost nothing else now.
It's interesting how a great product comes along and it works that isn't some geardo tacticool stuff. lol

They are reinforced for some extra stiffness. I have no idea why this vid has over 8k views and the Kore one only has ~800
These are the best carry belts out there. Lite and durable!!!!
I stand corrected. Took a few minutes and did some research. Nothing but positive reviews and comments. Also took a closer look at the release. It's nowhere near being accidentally depressed. like this belt for casual look. May consider one. Once again I stand corrected.
No worries. They are certainly great for casual as well. Thanks for the follow up
The Grip6 belt is the belt everyone is buying now.
Just the fact that the belt end is rounded makes it more aesthetically pleasing to wear
Well I didn't think I'd ever watch a belt vid, let alone a 12 minute one, but, I have to say well done Sir.
Very informative, thank you.
Thanks! It's amazing what YT will talk you into. :-)
I have a linx 1" belt, trackline/kore gun belt, and just got this tactical nylon. I should have bought the kore first! I literally just got the nylon belt. I love the look and feel. There is no roll, and I have no doubt it will handle the concealed carry mode I bought it for. I bought a nice thick leather belt and it just couldn't adjust the way I wanted it to. The ratcheting belts are the stuff! Comparing the trackline/kore to the nexbelt I see that the kore buckle is spring loaded, and the nexbelt uses a magnet. I prefer the spring loading. If the nexbelt has problems I'll just switch out the buckle.
Yea, I suppose they are all interchangeable enough. Kore is coming out with a nylon belt. There's a link to their kickstarter campaign on my Kore video.
Snareman for those that don't know kore gun belts are the original gun belts that ratchet and more important they are stiffer and better made materials. I had the nextbelt and it was not as stiff and as well made.
The newer Nexbelts are actually a lot stiffer than the original ones. For me, the originals were perfect and actually don't like the newer stiffer ones as much. The Kores (see my vids on them) are I think even a step stiffer.
This belt as ridges that are likely to scratch your leather seats in your car it wore mine down had you put a seat cover over it. Probably not very common two others I deliver paper so I reach over passenger-side a lot. After wearing inside waistband holster belt has formed to that holster and makes it hard to carry another without the belt digging into your back. Been using this belt for about eight months. Its strong light weight with very little sag, Good built for the price.
Hmm... I wear this belt 4-5x/week with a shirt tucked in and have leather seats and haven't had any problems.
Ya probably not very common two others as much as I reach over passenger-side (right side, console side of seat is where most damage is where the seat pops out to “hug” the driver) and i also constantly pull bundles from the backseat to the front (driver side has light scratches nothing like otherside though). Im also 32 inch so there is no extra me to help protect seat lol
I appreciate you telling me about their leather belts. I’m about to make another purchase soon, is that the new tactical belt you did the video on as course of a material? From the look I d probably be better off with leather
So yeah after 80 miles 600 customers (300 hundred reaches out each side of vehicle) 4 days a week it wouldn’t matter if your shirt was tucked in or if you had a jacket on as much moving as I do inside the vehicle the seat got scratched up but for the average Joe who just sits and drives 10 mins or so to and from work should be just fine.
@@Gogetter0118 Yea, maybe it's all the moving you are doing. I'm mostly just sitting there.
@@Gogetter0118 Those belts were all from a few years ago. They have some new ones, some slight changes on the ones I did and I hear they may be coming out with some new stuff by the end of the year.
My experience with the lighter color nylon belts is they do discolor over the years. I would recommend going with black nylon belts where possible. They also fray over time, even with factory cut ends. With that said I do prefer nylon over leather. You get leather wet its pretty much finished. Quality leather is also heavy and smells. Great review as always. The Nexbelt's lack of a retainer at its price point is not good, you can't always rely on pants/shorts to have a belt loop in the right place. I would be interested in hearing if the belts release mechanism can be accidentally activated.
I guess it depends on how you wear them as far as them getting dirty. I've been wearing that tan Wilderness Tactical belt I show for years and it still looks almost brand new.
On the mechanism, I'm not really concerned about that happening. I suppose if you got really "lucky" and something looked that small little lever it could happen, but that would have to be quite the coincidence for it to happen.
I have a 5.11 tan belt I have had for about 7-year it's a bit patchy color wise It could be UV from the sun perhaps. When it gets dirty I throw it in the wash, which is another reason to buy nylon. A minor detail I guess given the long life of the belt... it's still going. =)
Mine is worn mostly inside or covered by a shirt so that probably keeps it cleaner.
Probably a momentary activation would be stopped by the re-engagement of the ratchet system.
I was on the fence between kore & next/bladetech.4 months ago.the cheep looking plastic belt tip caps or whatever they are started popping up everywhere.got confusing so went kore nylon.heard it's" less stiff" than earlier nylon version but hope it breaks in more .it should in time.comfortable but that strap looks plenty stiff enough and easier to use right out of the box.can't buy them all.I can't but some people may keep buying more and more trying to find perfection.carry S&W 66-2,2.5" in OWB Garrett industries STX with leather straps & pull dot snaps.straight drop.3 o'clock ,& sometimes up front .can't tell it's there under a t-shirt.it's good.365 xl soon.Will figure something out when the time comes.
The tips on the Nexbelt's are leather. It's nice actually. My favorite was the original nylon Nexbelt. I thought it was the perfect amount of stiffness, which is to say, not very stiff, but was still great for holding a gun. The new ones are too stiff for my tastes. I have the new Kore as well (check out my video on it) and they are less stiff than the original Kore. Still prefer the original Nexbelt, but they don't exist anymore. Kore makes a great product.
Thanks. Went ahead and buy on of the Bladetech Ultimate belt made by Nextbelt. Thanks again budy.
No problem. Thanks for watching! :-)
Great review,,however I am not a fan of the click hold belts for carrying a firearm because the mechanisms tend to weaken and slip in time(not years either) but I would get one of these just as a belt after seeing this review. Thanks
I thought they were gimmicky before I tried then, but I have worn this belt almost every day since making this video and haven't had any problems with it.
I've switched to ratchet belts. They cost $15 on Amazon and are not for carrying anything. I only wear belts as a job requirement.
I like the lever to be at the top, so I wear my belt upside down, haha.
Yea, I put the lever on top as well. Just seems easier to get it off.
those are cool...need to look into them
Definitely check them out.
I spotted PAM088. lol Nice strap and great review as usual bro!
Thanks. I love that watch!
Mine didn't last long. It fell apart. 511 is the brand I use now.
That's odd. I haven't had a problem with mine and I wear them pretty much every day.
Get a Grip 6.
No ratchet, holes or moving parts.never slips ,don't even know you have it on .oh and no pinching. Probably cheaper too.
I've looked at them
My black tactical Kore ratchet belt is stiffer and i would say better made then my OD green Nexbelt ratchet belt and my Hanks belt with holes is even stiffer than both but not in tactical which I prefer.
Interesting! I have never had a belt where the extra length went to the right. Makes me wonder if I have been holding up my pants wrong all my life. Could a guy mess up suspenders?
Admittedly, I wear my belts backwards by technical belt standards.
I have one of these. after very minimal wear the notch on the buckle that locks into the track started to lose spring tension and the belt would slip. wouldn't stay locked in place. and I mean very minimal use. contacted next belt and they were awesome and sent me a replacement buckle asap. now after a few more weeks of off and on wear it's starting to slip also. Not as bad as the first but my guess is after a couple more weeks it will be the same. they need to redesign the spring or something. wondering if you've experienced this? wonder if this would be an issue with all track belts?. think I'll try the Kore belts next. this belt looks awesome but has a major flaw in design.
Shawn Bowen has the issue worsened? I have a kore gun belt, and just received this belt. I like it a lot. Worse case scenario I can use the kore buckle. You can also order the kore buckles separately.
Mitchell Teeters
I wouldn't say it's worsened but it has slipped on me a couple times out in public which is not good when carrying. Once while I slightly bent forward and once while just walking. It hasn't gotten nearly as loose as the first one though. The first one wouldn't even lock on the first half of the track. Now that I know I can buy a kore buckle by itself I may go that route next and try it. The track belt idea is genius and once you have one you don't want to go back to regular buckles. But there needs to be a more solid design.
Ok I looked at the belts again. I have a linx 1" non gun belt, the kore/track line belt, and the nexbelt. If you want the tactical nylon you have to go nexbelt. The trackline buckle is spring loaded while the nexbelt uses a magnet. That might explain the lack of strength in the ratcheting. There is a notable difference.
Mitchell Teeters
Well the belt finally gave out bad. It's now as bad as the first and slips horribly. I can latch it and get it to pull back out sometimes up to 5". I've had it slip in public a few times. Not good! I ordered a kore belt now and just got it. I can actually see the spring on the kore buckle. Hopefully it holds up better. I really wish the next belt would have lasted. I loved the design of the buckle and the canvas belt but man, for $60 it's not worth it at all. Only lasted a few months of minimal easy wear!
Shawn Bowen is it the plastic ratchet portion that quit on you or the buckle? Just change out the buckle if that is the problem. I would certainly contact nexbelt to get a warranty exchange.
I've had good luck so far with my belt,
Ets hope it holds up.
Cool belt, but it looks like that buckle would stick out a lot.
It doesn't.
I carry both IWB and OWB, depending, you know, on what's happening. Looks like there's sufficient adjustment, yes?
Nice watch! What brand is it
Please advise as to how we can get this in customized buckles.
I don't know. You have to contact Nexbelt
What I most dislike about "gun belts" is that the buckle is too thick and print on untucked shirts. Could you compare the Nexbelt with 5.11 Apex and Ares Gear belts for buckle thickness?
I haven't used the 5.11 Apex belt, but this one is definitely thinner than the Ares belt.
If your buckle is printing on an untucked shirt, someone's tummy may need adjustment...
Great review, I bought one after watching this video.Was wondering what holster was that? Look forward to more reviews.
Thanks. I'm wearing mine as I type. They are great belts. The holster is a Pro-Tek (I have a video on it) although I think he might not still be making it as I can't find his facebook page anymore
SnareMan, what is your preference on the release lever? Feed the belt thru to your left and release lever on the buckle on the bottom? or feed thru to the right and release lever on the buckle on the top?
I always feed to the right with the release on top as it's easier to control and then also if I'm carrying spare magazines on the left the tail doesn't interfere with them.
Great review
Thanks!
I picked up a nexbelt last month but it wasn't stiff enough to support my rig cause it rolls and my rig is sub compact. Then buckle broke. They said they'd replace it but the belt was not doing to trick so whats the point.
How much stuff are you carrying? It did fine for me. The newer ones are actually a lot stuffer. Actually a little too stiff for everyday wear for me. I thought these original ones were perfect. I guess it depends on when you got yours which one you got
It's like Anson Belt.
Yea, looks similar. Anson just doesn't have gun belts.
very nice will check these out for sure..
Thanks!
Your welcome sir..
Ordered me one of these of Amazon today gonna give it a shot thanks for the info..
I'm wearing mine right now! :-)
👍
Panerai and Breitling .... must like watches and belts
Wade I do have a fondness for both
just a play on the grip6 belt but it's a ratchet setup..as far as carrying I think either would be fine
I don't think it's really like the Grip6 at all other than being essentially infinitely adjustable. They both seem like great belts though.
Do they absorb sweat? I have a the problem with my leather holster and belt so I need a alternative material.
I suppose. I can't say I've really gotten all that sweaty there, but they'd have to do better than leather and not stretch, etc.
How would you rate this belt compared to the Ares Gear Aegis belt? I carry a full sized pistol and spare magazine iwb on my appendix, and sometimes a 2nd compact pistol at 4 oclock iwb.
So, the belt in this vid is a little more pliable, but they have since redesigned them and they are much stiffer. I think the Ares is still stiffer. I've carried compact and full sized guns on this with no problem. I thought this original version was the 'perfect' belt. Comfortable enough for every day at work (with no gun) and great for carrying a gun. I wear this belt pretty much daily and almost never wear the Ares, both still being great belts.
@@SnareMan thanks for your reply. I recently picked up the Ares Aegis belt and I'm very pleased with it, as its much easier to take on and off than my old SOE EDC belt with the cobra belt buckle (thank god I lost so much weight and needed a new belt, I had no idea how much better and more convenient they have gotten in the last few years). Still, I may look into one of these in their leather gun belt configurations to wear at weddings etc. Thanks for doing these reviews, they are very well done.
@@imacarguy27 Yea, those cobra buckles seem like they can be a bit of a pain. Check out my Browncoat Tactical review where I do a timed race between the two. Thanks for the kind words on the vids!
which belt do u have there the brown dress leather belt with more importantly the chrome buckle ??? I've got strict uniform code at my job
It's this one. amzn.to/2lgTJhS
So how do you like the belt so far? I wear a riggers belt for work and sometimes dealing with the Velcro is a pain. I have 14 years in Law Enforcement and if this belt is comfortable I will certainly try it out. Thank you for the video and GOD Bless.
True Patriot 09 honestly, since getting these belts I haven't worn my Wilderness Tactical belts once. these are just so much easier to get on and off. I have another belt video that I am going to be posting in the next day or two as well.
Thank you for your timely response. Guess I should get back to work before my Captain walks by my cubicle. GOD Bless.
Snareman Kore no hole ratcheting belts are universally better prob cause they came up with with first.
I have lots of Kore belts as well (and vids on them). I can't say I find one much better over the other.
So what happens when the plastic track wears down?
I've been wearing these belts for years and haven't had anything close to that happened so I don't know that it's an issue
Can you use the leather belt on fhebtactical buckle? Nice review.
Thanks. I'd imagine you could.
Reminds me of my KORE belt. Maybe a copy?
They are both fairly similar. The Kore's have the reinforced inner piece though making them stiffer. Check out my Kore vids.
Being a big guy, I'd be worried if sitting my belly would push in the button to unzip the belt
Not that I'm a big guy, but I've only had that happen once in 2-3 years of wearing it and I wear them ALOT.
What pants did you wear during the demonstration?
It's these: ua-cam.com/video/5FCo9OE-ghM/v-deo.html
SnareMan Thank you very much sir! I like the way they look due to their 100% cotton material, a little bit old school.
Yea, they don't look so "tactical" other than being OD, but there are other colors.
What holster is that?
It's by a guy that stopped making them. I replaced it with this one though that I like better - ua-cam.com/video/znMSAmCX0oU/v-deo.html
Guys, look into Grip 6. Cheaper and better lock mechanism from what I'm reading. Has carried my Glock 43 for over a year now. Judging by comments, and by these guys font choice, this is $20 more expensive knock-off.
This is a knock off of which belt? The ratchet style on these is entirely different than the Grip6 buckle. What does the font have to do with anything? Also depends on which style looking buckle you prefer.
Yes, the buckle design is different, but it's more complex and the increased number of parts to the buckle increases the number of ways it can fail, and judging from comments, it WILL fail. Grip 6 is the best belt I've ever bought and unless I get a bigger gun the only other belt I would buy is a klik. The nexbelt is overpriced garbage. Buy a Grip 6. $35 and it should last you for life.
SnareMan so if I make a cola and use the same font as Coke, that's not a problem, right? Oh right, copyright infringement is a thing.
I haven't tried the Grip6 so I can't comment on them, but I have worn the Nexbelt pretty much daily with and without a gun on for the past year and haven't had a problem with them. They are far from junk. You can argue cost and value, but as you say, there are more moving parts to the Nexbelt and Kore belts compared to the Grip6 so it would make sense that they'd be more expensive. They both have similar thin fonts, but the names don't share any of the same letters so I don't know if they are the same font or not. The Grip6 look like nice belts, but personally I like a little larger looking buckle or a buckle with a little more design to it. Their hexagonal one looks nice perhaps. I'm not knocking the Grip6 at all, but the Nexbelts are nice belts.
BTW, I hadn't seen the comment below about his buckle slipping until just now somehow (UA-cam keeps screwing with their messaging and notification system). I haven't had any of those problems with mine though, but it sounds like they did get it taken care of for him. Have you actually owned a Nexbelt to say they are junk? I don't have anything vested in the company. They did send me some free belts for the review, but I liked them enough that I bought some more on my own.
What brand is that kydex holster ?
It's one from a guy who sadly doesn't make them anymore. Pro-Tek. I did a review on it you can find.
Damn , i like this one ! lol
You might have some new belts in your future
@@SnareMan lol , yep
Anything like that with a mechanism is going to wear out. Ether the ratchet side or the belt teeth side. Why not just get an Ares Aegis and be done with it.
I've been wearing this belt, either the black or tan one, pretty much daily since I made this video and haven't had a single problem. I do also have an Aegis belt (check out my video on it) although for me it's a little bit too stiff for daily wear. Great belt though
SnareMan It just seems like a flawed design from the start. Anything with gears and or springs is going to eventually fail. The Aegis belt has the same locking system that has been used on belts for many decades.
I get what you're saying about what "should" seem to be, but like I said, I have the experience have having worn these almost daily for 20 months and haven't had a single problem. Having seen commercials for these ratchet type belts on TV I always thought they were a gimmick, but I'm not a believer. I moved last August and like these style belts so much that the box with my regular belts is still taped shut from the move.
Here's my Aegis review: ua-cam.com/video/4D1CljoeJJs/v-deo.html
My strap won’t come off
Like snareman says in his other vids kore's gun belts are stiffer and better for cc.
The is a knock-off from the ratchet belt we’re it clamps on to the belt it will break off all the time. And it will unravel in time sorry but had one of these.
I've been wearing this belt as well as a bunch of other brands for over 4 years now and had zero problems with them.
Great review, great gun, count me as a new sub
cuanto valen y como compro una?

Wait, before buying a belt from "Nexbelt" be forewarned! They will not stand behind their product, and when they find a flaw with their design, even if your order was made 3 days before they implement their updated version. They will ship from their old stock and will not take a return or exchange it. The rigid click section of their belts will break, and no they will not replace it. If you ask to purchase a replacement strap they refuse and make you buy a complete belt instead. Really lousy customer support! There are way to many quality gun belt manufacturers out there. I would rather pay more for a belt like an S.O.E. tactical gun belt than buy 2 of their inadequately made belts. Save yourself some money and get a good belt, this is a "gimicky" piece of junk!
Better safe than sorry. It don't appeal to me that this belt is anywhere near secure. Unleaa you intend to stand upright all day. Not good and safe for me. Great idea and great belt but not safe with that depressor exposed.
I got this belt a little before I put out this vid and between this and the Kore belts haven't worn any regular belts since. I wear them to work, for shooting, for normal every day carry and haven't had any problems. But if it makes you nervous there are plenty of other good belt options. No worries.
Kore belts are better. I had nexbelt but not as good as my kore.
What didn't you like about the nexbelt?
Apparently you don't understand what infinite means.
Looks too flimsy to support a gun.
Bungalo Bill it's not. I carry a gun on it daily
Junk. Buy 5.11 much better.
Do you own one to actually know this Nathan? I've been wearing these almost daily since I made this vid a year ago for both normal use as well as for shooting and they are still my favorite belts. Haven't had a problem with them. I have several 5.11 belts as well which are also good, just in a different way. You can check out my vid on them if you haven't aready: ua-cam.com/video/XqeJCa1GPkQ/v-deo.html
SnareMan I owned one. It lasted maybe a month til it fell apart. Been wearing my 5.11 since.
That's odd. Like I said, I've been wearing mine daily for a year with no problems.
Pass. . .
Doing way too much.
Doing way too much with what?
@@SnareMan Excellent review of the nexbelt!
I was referring to the belt and the fact that it must be sized, defrayed, and buckle installed before wearing.
Also the fact that the belt is actually not infinite size considering the ratcheting mechanism goes in quarter inch increments. Sure the ratcheting is small enough that will likely not be noticed and may be a non factor, but all things considered I will be passing on what I'm sure is a great belt.
Sorry for the confusion from my initial comment. Great review and thank you for introducing me to the wilderness tatctical belt.
Cheers. . .
