Hey man, I’ve been a subscriber for a long time. I got this belt years ago, probably around when this video came out. I liked it but i found it uncomfortable to wear for a long time. I was looking for a long term review of yours on this but I don’t see one. How did it hold up for u?
Working in Law Enforcement I can tell you I’ve gone through my fair share of belts. All of which had the same results. Constantly adjusting throughout the day due the belts sagging with the weight of the duty pistol. I gambled with this Kore Essentials belt and it cured all the issues I’ve had with all the others. It holds the gun weight and extra mag w/ cuffs with no issue. This gamble paid out.
Ever use edc belts from sheep dog response, or warrior poet ? I’m contemplating maybe getting one of those
This is probably the comment we needed,😂 police are most likely gonna have way more weight on their belts from gear than anybody else, so if it works for you it’s obviously pretty good
These Kore belts are the best EDC gun belts I have ever owned. I wear mine every day. I bought belts for my two sons and they love them too. We are all Veterans ( Marines and Army) and agree that the quality and adjustment ability of these belts is stellar.
That's awesome to hear Jim
@@TacticalToolbox I wish I could say the same.The leather cracked in several places on my Kore belt after just 6 moths of light use.
Jim Green I prefer vedder but nice belts
@@jr10 did you only get their leather belt? Or have you tried their nylon tactical version?
I got my first Kore EDC belt about 4 years ago and it quickly became my permanent carry belt. The leather option was the only option originally and after 4 years it still looks brand new despite daily use of several different types of holster and different sizes firearms. I finally got one of the new model nylon belts and it is even better than the leather and will be my new daily belt. I've been recommending Kore gun belts to anyone that asks for years now.
I've been rocking the Kore essentials for as long as I've been carrying. 3 years or so now. My original belt needed replacement almost a year in. The inner material that provides rigitity was stepped on and folded and it broke. Kore essentials replaced it very quickly, the original was still usable too. Excellent belts.
2 years with kore belts and no issues yet very happy.
I’ve had my 2 kore belts for 3 years now and literally wear them every day. They still look and work like brand new. Best edc belts I’ve ever had by a long shot. So good that I gave away my 3rd to my father. He also loved it and so he told his old stubborn buddies about it. Being stuck in there old ways, they all still managed to get converted to Kore and through all the other belts away! Mission accomplished!
I’ve had a kore essentials belt for about 8 months and I absolutely love it. I haven’t found any other belts that I’ve liked to carry with other than theirs
“Jump around, jump around, jump up jump up and get down.” Thanks man! I’ll be picking one up today!!!
Been using the tan kore tactical belt for around a year and half now. Holding up pretty good still. No real complaints at all.
I have also been using my Kore belt for over a year and it hasn’t failed me once. I just with they would do a fabric tactical one that I can use with my military uniform.
I thought his table was dirty. Turned out my screen was 😂
My wife is going to kill me 😂 another purchase 💀
Dude! The struggle is so real man
Fraudulent purchase...you dont know ANYTHING about it.
Same 🥴😂
I need the address! When my wife kick me out of the house to spend the night!!!! Hahahaha
I wear the Kore Essential every day and love it and it looks good with dress casual clothes. Like the white background better.
Awesome John, I think I'll stick to the white background
I like the white background better. You can see more detail in the presentations. I also like the look of the Kore belt. I need a belt that doesn’t look tactical.
I’ve been using my Kore belt for a little over a year. Absolutely love it. It’s still is as rigid as it was new. Love the ease of loosening it when sitting or driving. Can’t imagine wearing anything else.
Kore Belts the only EDC Belt Made.
I carry a Colt 45 and before I had my Kore belt it used to hang low on my side but not anymore. I now have two of these Belts and will be buying more for Christmas gifts for my sons and Brothers.
I have 2 Kore essential belts a Black and Tan belt, and they have given me zero issues. They have been the most comfortable belt for my daily carrying needs.
Thanks man I was in need of a new belt and actually just just started looking into the kore belts and wasn't sure but after watching this it made up my mind. Just ordered one.
I love my Kore belts! I’ve been wearing my brown one for over a year now. I am a large guy with a big gut, and the buckle can put pressure on your belly if seated for a long time. But I’ve found that wearing the buckle off to the side while carrying appendix is quite easy and comfortable.
5 years wearing my Kore belt pretty much every day. Thats what I call a grea belt.
I bought the Nextbelt which as far as I can tell is exactly like the Kore belt but only because it was 2 inches longer than the Kore belt. I think either one would have been a good choice, The only draw back is that They only have a few buckle choices. I love the fact that it is adjustable on the fly. Great product none the less.
Yes Nextbelt for the win. I’ve run a Nextbelt for 7 years. EDC during that time was a G26, G19 and now a P365 Xmacro. The belt is phenomenal. Adjustment can be made on the fly, especially when sitting, driving etc. Game changer for sure.
I have had my kore essential leather gun belt w/the x2 for a little over a year and love it. My only criticism is that after tightening w/my gun attached to it over time the first few ratchets have stopped giving audio feedback.
That's good to know... I was wondering about that
@@TacticalToolbox function wise it still works just as well when I received originally
"Double click if you dislike", clever! I like that.
I've been using the kore belt for a few weeks now and it’s great. I wear it to work under my duty belt and it’s very comfortable and sturdy. I also wear it off duty and with the same results. What makes it great is that you can basically adjust it to perfection due to the notches. There are so many notches that you essentially get a custom fit. You can also tighten or untighten it with ease without taking it off due to a small lever on the buckle if you must (e.g., standing or sitting for a long time, running around, even after a big meal).
Ordered my Kore Essentials a few days ago and got it in the mail last night. Did a grocery store run with it on and I am IN LOVE! Best belt I have ever used!
My KORE Essentials belt EXCEEDED my expectations! I purchased a cheaper style belt from another retailer, to compare, and lets just say there is NO comparison. You get what you pay for and the quality of this KORE Essentials belt speaks volumes. Great belts.
I totally agree with you on the getting what you pay for man
Was concerned about having the buckle in the middle with an appendix rig, thanks for this video. Ordered the same tactical belt from Kore with your code, 35 minutes later was given a tracking number. Cant wait! Also, white for darker colored things and black for bright color/shiny things :)
Got it today, wore it with my appendix rig from Spider Concealment. (Gotta put one clip behind the excess belt that goes through your belt loop or the clip wont fit over both the excess and the belt it self)
It's not bad with the buckle in front, but its just a bit more comfortable and way easier to adjust with the buckle to the side.
Maybe if I get some different clips for my rig I can wear the buckle in the front, but for now, buckle to the side isnt bad at all
Austin Thanks for posting some feedback, I have a spider concealment holster as well, so it’s nice to hear how the kore belt works in conjunction with it
Wore my older (leather) Kore Essentials belt for half a year straight in a desert. Never looked out of place in khakis and a polo and nobody even noticed it under an untucked Tshirt. Carried a full sized, double stack pistol and two spare magazines. 3 years later, I still use this belt and its holding up well. Didnt think I'd have a reason to buy another belt, but now that they make this more casual style, I'm going to have to get one.
I have been running a kore essentials with the x2 buckle for about 3 months now. For me it's the only belt I have found that works well. Very comfortable and it blends well. Love your channel man. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Victor, I appreciate ya watching man
If you hit the trimmed area with a lighter it will melt the nylon and prevent fraying.
Very helpful, thank you. I ordered a Kore essentials to try.
I'm shopping for a new EDC belt currently, and that is exactly what I'm looking for. Tactical, ratcheting, but everyday look. Excellent 👍!
I own 3 kore essentials belts. 2 nylon tactical, black and tan and 1 leather gun belt. Best gun belts of all of em
Honestly. The trayvax belt is perfect! Slim profile and never let's loose because it uses kinks to tighten the belt w/ comfort
I've got one of those too! And it's half the price!
Love Nexbelt. A game changer for sure!
I Love my Kore belt. Super adjustable is imperative and would have never thought that a 1/4" adjustment would make that big of a difference but it does.
Just got one 2 weeks ago it is excellent especially for my heavy Glock 21
These kore are def great belts and I will add a real blessing when you switch from appendix to 3 oclock owb like myself. You need to be able to micro adjust your belt to keep it comfortable and you dont get that with belt holes or velcro belts as far as I am concerned.
Ended up purchasing both the leather and tactical Kore belts. Quality is top notch and the feel is even better. Firmly secures all items and no issues even with a full size handgun. The latching mechanism is great, true fit every time. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quality belt.
I just ordered a Kore gun belt. Haven’t received it yet, but excited to check it out. Will be my 1st gun belt.
Switched over to the kore 3 years ago to cc P365 iwb and glad I did. Anyone wants a used cobra belt you can buy mine I don't use it no more.
I bought the Kore essential belt 3yrs ago it still looks new, I never had to hunt for another belt but the Hunt is on for the right appendix holster set up
Seth Clayburn t-rex arms or tier 1 concealed make the best aiwb rigs
I carry a 1911 with with black tac kore belt everyday at our gun shop so comfort and support is where its at for me.
I have the same belt in black and tan plus a brown leather for whatever. I bought two after buying one. This is the best belt I have ever owned. When I get up I usually tighten a notch or two.If I set down I loosen a notch or too, now it is unconscious. I don't even think about keeping my belt at the right comfort level. I love the easy micro adjustments. I also have the plastic belt hanger. I keep two belts on hanger and where the third. Cannot say enough about my gun belts from Kore. also I bought the same buckle you like because it looks like a regular belt buckle.
I've worn my Kore Essentials leather gunbelt for over 2 years now, daily, and it's pretty much just like the day I bought it.
I have three kore belts. Black tactical black leather and brown leather and they are the only belts ive been running for the past 3 years. The sizing is unmatched and they are able to hold any edc gear i run. If you dont have one go get one
I would recommend kore belts. It's very sturdy and looks great. I use a Tier One Axis Slim for a Sig Compact P320 with the belt. I can adjust the tightness easily to conceal while standing and loosen up for comfort when sitting. Great belt for concealed carry.
How do you like the axis slim?
I've been rocking the kore essentials belt for over a year now, and I love it!
That's awesome man... I can't wait to see how it wears over time
@@TacticalToolbox so how about an updated video? 2 year review?
Rotate your belt buckle off set to the left or right 1 belt loop. Works great to get it out of way and be more comfortable.
Older video, but coupon still works. Just ordered my bundle of black and brown belts. Great videos! Keep it up
last sept I was given a kore tac belt it was over. In Dec I put all my other gun belts in the vet giveaway stack.
I have both belts. Pros on the Kore , the adjustment on the fly is the best. The con is the adjustment lever, its the weak link of the system. The lever on mine broke. Blue force gear gun belt, pros the buckles are strong and easy to loop through. The con on the Blue force gear, the adjustment, if you carry every day you have to adjust the belt to carry all the time, no adjustment on the fly.
Stay with the white! It makes the products your showing stand out better. I’m a die hard high speed gear belt lover. Same concept as your blue alpha gear
So I traded in my blue alpha belt 3 years ago for the kore and it was best decision. The kore is just as well made but adjsuts far better and easier than the ba belts. I didn't know how big a deal that was (esp when you have a firearm stuck in your belt) until I made the switch. All I can say is try it.
Another vote for Core belts. Got one on sale at my FFL here in Dallas for $48.
I just noticed the Herman Miller Eames chair in the background. I've wanted one of those forever! Excellent taste my friend! Oh, and now I'm buying a new belt. Good job! ;-)
I've been using kore belts since I started carrying it's so comfy and works for everything!!
I'm glad to hear that Larry
@@TacticalToolbox started out with the standard leather carry belt then I upgraded to the tactical version
I have both the black and tan leather versions of the kore essentials. I also have multiple blue alpha gear belts. Love them all, but the kore essentials is great for work, in a non-tactical way.
Love my Kore belt, been rocking it for 2 years.
That's badass brother
Black for shiny things and light color things! White for black thingys... lol great vid
haha that's one way to put it..lol
The white adds a great contrast!
I've used these belts exclusively for about 2+years now and they are phenomenal. I had 1 snap on me after about a year and kore sent me a replacement for free no question asked, great company great product
Yank Chef I’ve heard their customer service is second to none.
I’ve had my BigFoot gun belt for over three years and it still looks like I bought it yesterday. For a non tactical leather belt with a steel core, you can’t beat them. I actually bought two thinking that the first would wear out within a year or so. I still haven’t used it yet. For a true gray man the normal looking belt in a pair of normal pants. Guess I’m just a fan. Especially since I’m thick around the waist and it still hasn’t lost shape
Great review! I just received my Cobra EDC belt from CYA Supply Co for $59.97 (free shipping). Fit is great (after I returned one that was one size too large-but they had zero problem sending me an RMA for free return). Anyway, day #1 is here. Love it so far!
It's been 3.5 years since you made the video. How did the long-term, durability of the Kore Essentials belt hold up compared to the Blue Alpha Gear belt?
I have both Kore and Blue Alpha. If I'm standing most of the day I like the Blue Alpha, it's a little more stiff. But if I'm sitting for a long time and getting in and out of my car Kore all the way. Once you sit down just release some pressure and it's golden. Also if I can't carry Kore is my go to belt, because its so comfortable. Male 6' 205 dad bod appendix carry
I just wear my kore belt now for edc. My blue alpha gear belt is nice and probably last a lifetime but its a pain to adjust and not as supportive as the kore.
I bought this belt and love it. Great edc compared to the rigger belts. Also fluctuates with my fatness. Also can wear with my suits.
Dude! I'm cracking up at "Fluctuates with my fatness" That's an awesome way to put it
Toolbox at this point I do not use my blue alpa belts any more. I have 2 in the closet which I wore and swapped out for years. But now I prefer my rigid adjustable kore belts better. It is phenominal.
Awesome review! I have been on the fence with this belt. I just wish it was made in the USA.
Amen... USA USA USA !!!
I keep coming back I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 and i wait up just to watch ur vids it’s 22:25 (10:25 PM)
GOD I LOVE UR VIDEOS ❤️
Red Lotus Ik I cant carry a gun how ever I can like and watch what ever content I like and I can own a a pump action shotgun and a bolt action rifle and depending on the career path one chooses to take they can carry a hand gun
So before u start anything, make sure u educate ur self on my gun laws 😁😂😂
@Red Lotus ur an ass and don’t matter if I can’t carry a gun I don’t need it in England if ppl can’t carry then there won’t be a situation for me or most ppl to carry one 😁😂
I actually have a Kore Essentials gun belt and I love it. The quarter inch increments are so helpful especially since I'm one of the weird people that just puff up throughout the day so being able to adjust it discreetly and to exactly where it needs to be is awesome
I'm on my third Kore gun belt. The first one about one year they replaced. The second belt last approx 2 years. The leather tore and insert broke in the same place at about 730. I carry at 430. Kore will not allow negative reviews. I had to order the third at regular price. In the future I will try RGB.
I use the Kore for appendix carry. I've only had it for about a month, but I've used three other belts and the Kore blows them all out of the water. The quick adjusting is awesome for jumping in and out of the truck. I highly recommend them.
Those are the two belts I plan to get and you just reinforced my plans. One for casual edc and one for nicer dress look. Thanks for the review brother.
Been running the leather EDC belt for a year and a half. Definitely broken in, lost some rigidity, blah blah blah. Would I buy another one? Just did. And I'll be picking up a nylon one too. Super worth it. Highly recommended for anyone carrying anything smaller than a howitzer.
I rock a Kore essentials belt. Have done so for three years now. Best belt I have ever owned. I have two of them now.
I love the honesty of your review however I must admit my favorite line out of the entire video is "if you don't like this video, double click the dislike button" 🤣🤣🤣
These Kore belts are very well made, sturdy and strong. I wish I had this belt and the wider belts when I was still a Police Officer. I’ve ruined many dress belts working plain clothes details. These belts are great carry belts, police officer or civilian. Buckles are very strong and well made.
I now teach concealed carry, tactical classes in Florida. I recommend these belts to my firearms training students.
Thank you for the information, it was informative and gave me better insight on belts.
The belts do not take abuse. If you sweat the two parts of the belt begin to separate causing the ratchet to jam. The claw on the belt buckle that attaches to where you cut the belt tears off requiring retrims often if you truly carry everyday, as I do. The ratcheting system is great, but they need to use better materials. With 4 months problems developed and only got worse.
I use kore essentials tactical belt. Had it for 2 years so far and it's actually the belt. Literally no complaint. It's worth every penny
I’ve used the leather kore belt on and off for the last two years with my vedder lighttuck holster and think both together are amazing
Own a Kore garrison belt and I’m very pleased with it. I wear it daily and use it for uspsa competitions as well. There shipping was surprisingly fast and the quality seems great so far! A great belt!!
After a month of using my Kore belt I gave my Blue Alpha belt away. I discovered that I needed a belt that fit like a glove when I cc or even if I am not. If you have one u know what I am talking about.
Like the setup my guy. The white backdrop makes your stuff "pop" and it really draws focus to what you're showing! Hope it can stay.
Honestly I'm surprised yet humored you've waited so long on Kore because they were my first belt and I was about to try Blue Ridge until this video. Guess I beat you to the punch lol
Been running these belts for awhile now. Love them. Note, order the same amount of buckles to belts you purchase. Switching buckles to different belts is a pain. I’ll make sure to have a buckle for every belt next time. Wicked belts!!
have a challenge for you I call the $1000 new shooter challenge consist of a rilf, a pistol, 1000 rounds of ammunition (500 each), and anything you feel a new shooter would need for a day at the range. all for under $1000
This is one of my favorite vids of yours recently. Purely because the "bounce tests" are pretty hilarious. Great stuff as always man! You look under the weather, you feeling alright?
Travax is my belt. Almost a year with and it holds up nice. I use to run it with an alien gear 3.0 and a full size 45 XD and I didn't have any problems. Now that I switched to a FN9 compact I like it even better (same alien gear holster). Great video as always.
I love mine. I have two, my wife has one, and I got one for my step dad for his Birthday. Great belt all around.
Dude I’m a stocky guy and it was always hard to carry IWB but after buying this belt it’s been great I can’t carry every day because of my job but wear this belt every day and carry on weekends I love this belt been wearing it for a year the best.
First time visiting! Great video! I am purchasing the exact belt and buckle for the same reasons you explained. Very informative! Love ya man! Will be subscribing after sending this comment!
Just received my low profile 1.5 EDC belt today and so far it’s pretty awesome!👍🏽👍🏽
From blue alpha gear
I like my Kore belt. First gun belt in 8 years of daily carry... makes a pretty significant difference. Has ratcheting in 1/4" increments to so. (I got the X2) Got the brown leather, and it will work with pretty much any outfit.
I've had a blue alpha hybrid over a year now and love it. I wanted a kore belt to wear when I'm dressed up a little. It cracked in March. I just trashed it and went back to the blue alpha. Keep in mind the more was only worn on weekends and not daily. Maybe the more nylon will hold up better for ya.
have the Kore X6 Gunmetal Black Leather, it outstanding. Like the fact that the buckle is secured with the clamp and a pair of screws. Then the ratchet system with 1/4 inch adjustments makes it easy to get the proper fit while walking or sitting and easy to adjust during a transition. Already looking at the Kore Brown Leather and the GARRISON 1.75" G1 GRAY TACTICAL. Joe
The Kore is the only belt I use for carry. It's a solid belt, been using it for about a year and have zero interest finding a different one.
I agree.. As long as mine holds up
@@TacticalToolbox how's that belt holding up?
Literally just got mine in the mail today. So far so good and your review was spot on 👍🏼
I picked up two of these and wear the leather one with full shiney "Boy Scout" belt buckle (X4) for work with my slacks. I have the same black nylon for my jeans, different buckle (X2). At the moment I do not have a CCW license (in CA), but I actually like these for a few reasons: micro adjustments (1/4" increments) since I am constantly an in-between size ; belt goes thru your belt loops like a regular belt without disassembly or installing backwards; and the rigidity is there also for OWB paddle holsters. Being able to adjust on the fly is awesome, and the micro adjustments make it so you don't have plumbers crack or wear your belt too tight. My only gripes with them thus far is 1) the nylon is super rigid, so unless you size it to hang just behind your first belt loop, you NEED their little velcro loop that they sell and 2) with my leather belt I have to use the same nylon velcro loop and that sort of looks derpy- I need to make/buy a matching leather one. If you want two belts like I bought, buy the nylon one, then add the leather belt for $25 more, and a single belt buckle. I think that knocked off $5 from the cost over just adding the two belts to the cart. Do that with his discount for some definite cost savings.
