The Kore Essentials micro adjustable battle belt is a huge game changer. Cobra buckles are the gold standard, but their lack of adjustability can make them uncomfortable over time. How do the current best-selling battle belts on the market compare to Kore and each other? Let's find out!

Thank you! - Наука та технологія
When I started watching I got the impression “oh, so this is just a Kore commercial and why the others suck” but you actually did a great job of explaining each belt and their pros and cons. I appreciate seeing each belt without a bunch of stuff attached too, like most other belt reviews.
Subscribed 👍🏼
Glad you liked it! I try to be as non-biased as possible. Kore is my favorite for sure (I'm also a dealer for them now), but the others are great options too.
I am looking for a new battle belt but everyone says how much better theirs is the best who do you choose?
More crack and fall apart after 6 mos or so. Also the buckles break when dropped
Those are some fantastic looking belts. Spent 22 years as a firearms instructor and wish I had that kore adjusting belt to save my back.
Yeah things have defiantly evolved over the years. I remember wearing the old BDU belt and suspenders back in the day for a brief time before the Army switched over to ACU stuff.
Did your back mess up and is it fixable?
This was my first video of yours I watched and I love how you presented everything. Also you're an army vet so that's a plus for me. You definitely earned my subscription. Keep up the fantastic work.
Right on, thanks for the sub!
The animation for your intro is sooooo sick!!!! I love it! The whole intro was awesome!
This was a great video. Really appreciate you going over the adjustability and construction of the belt.
I appreciate that! This was the biggest project so far, but I'm only just getting started. :) Lots of cool stuff in the pipe coming soon!
I run the Kore Essentials battle belt for work. I own every belt in this video, and the Kore is what I choose to wear all day every day. Nuff said
I work in law enforcement, and I don't see any reason why anyone would buy every belt in this video. If you paid for all of those, I have some beachfront property in Idaho I'd love to sell you.
@LA10-33 I work in private security contracting and make about 5x as much as a law enforcement officer, and can tell you without a doubt I own all of these. Some of them sit in a bag as backup in case my primary breaks, but most of them are hand outs for new guys on their first detail to give them a chance to make money before investing in their own equipment. Also, your attitude is exactly why I stayed away from law enforcement. Egocentric smart ass.
@@LosAngeles10-33 I live in Idaho so I'll take it LOL
@@LosAngeles10-33 what belt do you use and like best?
@@beri232 I like the Bison Belt
As soon as I saw that log on the rocks in the intro I recognised the falls, I drive by them every day, great video and info. Diverted me from getting the tacticon belt after receiving more info and looking at yours. Thank you.
Very cool!
Awesome video, surprised how this channel hasn’t blown up. Really well made content👍
You and me both! UA-cam HATES what I do, so they aren't in a hurry to push anything on the all mighty algorithm. I appreciate the complement.
Started out with regular belts but once I went Kore there was no turning back & now I own 4 Kore belts because you just can't have just one of these game changing belts. Now I need a Kore Battle belt to round out my collection.👍
I love my Kore belt too man. Just started using one a few weeks ago.
Thanks for putting this together. very helpful to see the comparison. Went with this new company called SHTF BELT and extremely impressed with them.
Glad it was helpful!
This single review of all the battle belt will definitely help one decide which one is for them. Great review. thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Based on this review my son gifted me an od green Kore battle for christmas. I have to tell yall this belt is utterly amazing. Never seen one like this. Now I have 3 other battle belts all with cobra buckles and all kitted up cause I spend too much time at the range. Im an instructor there. The fact that I can move the sizing in and out a little at a time and not h ave to un hook the buckle and reposition any velcro is great. I never cared for the cobra buckles and all the velcro. I change my load all day so I need to be able to tighten and loosen the belt to suit my needs. The kore belt does that and the quality is better than most in my opinion. Great review, thanks!!
Absolutely love that you put this together and super glad that I came across it. I’ve been looking into getting my first battle belt to take my trying to the next level. After your presentation of them all I’m leaning towards the Kore belt, but just curious as to how they size for wide frame individuals? Again thank you for the great informative video.
Glad it was helpful! You absolutely won't go wrong with a Kore belt (any of them, not just gun belts). They are designed to fit up to a 58" waist out of the box and you cut them down to whatever size you need when you first set it up. No need to measure or worry about ordering the wrong size. You can also trim off some if you slim down, so you wouldn't need to buy a new smaller belt. The only reason I wear other belts at this point is that I'm testing them. When I'm not filming something, I'm wearing a Kore belt.
Don't forget the "TWS10" code if you get one from Koreessentials.com. I actually don't get any commission or anything from it, it's just a blanket 10% store-wide discount for TWS fans. :)
Kore Essentials in leather has stoodup 9 years for me used in the field and in a business suit for appendix carry. I have given this Kore Essentials belt to friends and family, knowing this will be their favorite.
The battle belt from kore is really adjustable. I have there other gun belts and the adjust ability is incredible. Another plus of the company is their customer service. I had a problem with one of my belts and they came through and help me with the problem. I would recommend kore belts for any person who carries a gun.
Awesome information, thank you. Just ordered me a Kore battle belt.
Thanks! I hope you're really liking your Kore belt.
Thank you for being a pro and throwing in time stamps
I use the Kore battle belt as my daily police duty belt - and there is nothing to complain about! I it has everthing what I personally was looking for long time! A Slim belt - stiff and rigid so the pouches, holsters and other stuff fit and hold tight without jerking around. Works great with the innerbelt which prevents additionally any movement. Perfect size adjustments are easily be done one handed even you sit in the car. The belt hanger is als working very fine and holds the weight without any troubles in the locker. All in all - the way how a duty belt kit should be!
Thank you for the information Sir. Awesome video I just ordered my belt
Right on! I've got it packed up and I'm headed to the UPS store to send it your way! Thanks for the order, and let me know if you have any questions or if I can help out with anything else!
Bro thanks for this video, I have a safe life duty belt and it’s the only belt I have and I thought I was going crazy because I have the same issue with it! Definitely going for the Kore now
The editing in this video is insane. Extremely well produced
Thank you, I appreciate it. :)
Seriously professional grade stuff
@ Excel Tactical Solutions that plastic adjustment looks cheap and seeems the entire belt depends on it. How often do they malfunction, is it recplaceable or do u have purchase a new belt?
Dude, thank you so much for this video. Usmc vet but never dabbled with battle belts or similar waist rigs and for some reason i simply could not find any basic/fundamental knowledge on the subject anywhere on yt. Specifically the usage of multiple belt layers, the difference in belt categories/ daily usage/edc/tactical etc. Just popular brands and consumer comparisons. This gave me the basic understanding i needed while giving me a good starting point on what to look for in each product. (Also might have sold me on the Kore brand lolz)
Right on! I'm glad I could help point you in the right direction. I also didn't really jump on board the the battle belt line of thinking until after I was out and training with active guys as a contractor. It's the way to go for sure, especially when you don't want/need to have your full plate carrier on but still want a handgun, extra mags, and some basic medical gear on you. Going with a well known and high quality option makes a huge difference too. Once you try a Kore belt, you'll never go back.
Superb quality video and very informative 👌🏽
Thank you 🙌
I currently run a Kore Essentials Tactical Belt at the range and Kore’s leather belts for EDC. And they are truly great. I’ve been looking for a duty belt/battle belt for specific situations (I’m an RSO, for example). The Kore belt looks great, but I’ve been concerned that maybe I’m missing something compared to other belts.
This review clarified that for me, thanks much!
Sweet, I'm glad I could help clear things up. You can't go wrong with Kore. The others are great too, but that adjustability is just *chef's kiss*
Awesome vid man. Just subscribed.
This was an awesome video. You have a great way of doing videos
Thank you so much!
WS i bought a black ver last dec now I just boiught the coy. I switch up my range gear all the time so this adjustment factor was needed and made a big difference .
You are having the best demo used of product easily understood and visually pleasing without fancy terms and too much taking point fun and like able Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Much appreciated feller. I went with Ronin since I admire Tu Lam very much and believe in the gear he would authorize.
Nothing wrong with that logic at all! Ronin is a solid choice, and Tu Lam has way more experience than I do.
You can also buy an inner belt for the tacticon. I got the tactical battle belt and also both an inner velco belt for it so its like 3 in 1. And bought a real cobra buckle for $23.
No other battle belt that I ever had adjusts like this kore belt. I honestly think these guys are on to something big with this belt. On top of that its extremely well made.
Kore makes some of the coolest stuff out there for guys and the belt looks epic
I know, right?! Have you seen their new Swiss watches they are about to release?
I've been using a KORE tactical gun belt as a everyday belt for about a month now and I really like it. It's easy to get the right fit over a normal belt.
Thanks for sharing!
I wear Kore for EDC belts. For edc they are absolutely fantastic! For battle belt, i went for the Blue Alpha battle belt Lite. I wanted something lightweight but still very durable. Both are great belts.
Same here but I have the BAG Leo version. I’m thinking of trying out the Kore battle belt now 😂
Well put together video man! I just found your page and sub'd! You have the coolest logo I've seen in a while. It's hard to beat a Spartan helmet made from a bolt face! I've been rocking the Kore essentials regular belt for several years now. That thing has been rock solid and is the only belt I wear 95% of the time. (I'll even slip it on when wearing a suit sometimes, lol.) I didn't know about the battle belt version, but I'm about to buy one right now! You're spot on about the adjustability. Once you have experienced it, you can't go without it! If you don't already have some, make a sticker or keychain of that logo so I can order one, lol. Stay blessed brother!
Hey, thanks for the comment and complements! I really like the logo too. It will be going on several gun parts and other stuff shortly. (I haven't officially announced this yet, but we got a fiber laser and will start doing custom stippling, titanium backplates, mag base plates, and more soon!) I currently have a few different shirts and hoodies with the logo if you're interested. :) thewarriorsolution.com/brand/tws
This is the first time I came across your channel. When the video first started, I thought this was going to be one of those stupid “Top 5 police gear ultimatum duty belt duty” reviews with the computer generated voice. Was very glad to see this is a very legit channel!
Absolutely fantastic review! I come from the LE side, so I’ve had little experience with genuine battle belts. Thanks for taking the time to really go through the full features as well as opinions of each belt. I jumped on the Kore bandwagon this past year for my EDC, as well as their executive protection belt (same 1.75” belt structure as the battle belt) for low profile church security. It is true that once you use that ratcheting system, it is hard to go back to anything else.
Glad I found this channel!
Yeah, no BS computer voices or lame Google info here. :) Glad you found us too!
I've only ever tried the blue alpha and have enjoyed it immensely. The Kore adjustability would be interesting for duty work over winter gear.
Everything generally sucks in winter, but the Kore has the advantage of the adjustability based on what you're wearing. If you go think with layers, you don't have to rebuild you're whole belt to get it to fit properly.
I wear the Kore on duty and it’s incredible in the winter. You can layer up and down throughout your shift and just put the belt on as you would any other time
It’s easy to adjust the cobra belts, needle nose pliers grab the piece that is wrapped around and twist!
Just got my kore belt a week ago or so ….best belt I’ve ever owned so far
I’ve had my blue alpha since the kickstarter campaign and have to say it’s still my favorite edc belt
Nothing wrong with Blue Alpha. They make great stuff across the board.
Like my cobra belt for range work but being able to adjust that belt is a pretty cool thing. My load def fluctuates on range days and being able to cinch it up when I load it up or loosen for lunch would be good. Ask Kore Essentials if you can do a giveaway with it.
There may or may not be a giveaway already in the works. Allegedly. ;)
Tacticon knows their customer base, which is why they'll accommodate a larger size, haha. That's not to say it's a bad thing. As a middle aged delivery guy, the most I'll ever really need a battle belt for is range play, maybe some classes, and most importantly to be ready for what goes bump in the night. I love how fast you can throw it on and go, especially being one neighbourhood away from a pretty unsavory area of town. To me it's the same as a homeowner choosing Black and Decker power tools, where as a professional really needs Dewalt. They are up to $40 now, but I was very surprised with the quality for the money. It's also very comforting to have the trauma kit right there on the belt. Hopefully I never need it.
Yep, I agree completely. Sometimes you don't need Gucci gear and the Chineseium will do the trick for the most part. Good job carrying the trauma kit, most people forget that and it's the one item most likely to be used for real.
Great comparisons. Wish the Tacticon battle belt V2 would have been here as it’s a two belt system like the others.
Kore for ease of use and customizability but I really love the Bison Belt for appearances, it looks like art. I really like the smaller cobra latches are well.
Yeah, same. It's really nice looking belt and really easy to spot in the wild. The Bison Belt is Garand Thumb's favorite belt at the moment too.
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I use kore edc. The fast easy adjustment buckle is amazing!!!!
Watched this video and decided to buy a kore molle belt. Thanks for the tip I love it. Much better than my cobra molle belt. Well constructed and totally adjustable. This is a game changing belt if you spend any time at the range like I do mostly because of how I can adjust for load changes and environment. Super system and nice review. thanks again.
Glad it helped, and thanks for the feedback! I loved mine so much I started selling them myself. haha
Pro tip: when placing your Safariland UBL holster mount on your battle belt, if you begin the weave on your battle belt from the outer portion of the UBL holster mount, rather then from the back portion like it appears at 3:16, you’ll have a much more flush presentation on your belt. Versus the “bunched up” look it has on yours. Great video though!
Nice, thanks for the tip! I'll have to try that next time I use a UBL.
Excellent job. Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
Kore is a step up from my safariland thats for damn sure.
The tacticon belt work just as good as some of the others mentioned . Easy fix is to run a inner belt that loops through your pants
My 5th year wearing Kore's cc belts. Own 4 of them in dif colors. Did not know they made a molle belt I would def like to try this out for range days.
Its a game changer for sure. Well worth it, in my opinion.
I love the ferro bison belt. It’s been super comfy
Me too it’s a great belt
I’ve been happy with the ferro belt. Easy to move, lightweight and strong
Gotta love how the "and more" in the title is just for the Tacticon.
I wear 7 days a week a Kore to hold my pants on with nylon suspenders. 3 years strong. My daily job wears belts out from curling, stretching, and sagging. The Kore has been an excellent belt, and when I have holsters on, they never move around. I really like the Kore belt. And the adjustable buckle with the track system is the best.
Thanks for the content
Thanks for the comment
Using Ronin for three years now. Awesome belt. Indestructible.
Love my kore belts have the regular edc belts and the battle belt , I also have a nexbelt that uses the same track system but it's not as good as kore
Would be cool to see a long term update. I recently bought a gun belt from kore to wear daily and it seems like it will be great. My only reservation is that all things that move will wear out, so how much will the track wear over time and how much can it wear until it will no longer stay put
I can't speak so much for the other belts, but I've been wearing Kore belts for the last eightish years (before I was a dealer for them or making UA-cam videos). I've never had a failure of any of the components on any of the Kore belts I regularly wear. They are super solid and I've never felt worried about them failing or falling apart.

The Safelife does loosen up a bit over time, as a long time user of the safelife, it is a great belt but the after a few years I have moved to a Ronin and it is a slightly better belt out of the box. I just wonder how it will hold up after a year of use.
very good review *thumps up*
Thanks! We really appreciate your feedback.
I use Kore edc gun belts and they are my belt of choice so I will investigate these belts.
Would be nice to have a summary ranking your favorites (and why) or your favorites in different categories
Good point. The order that each belt appears in the video is the order of my preferences, and subsequently my recommendations.
Kore and Ferro Concepts were my two favorite.
Kore looks nice, and blue force is my next pick
I currently have the Safe Life belt, and I can confirm it is extremely stiff. Like wrapping a steel band around your waist, and then trying to weave that steel band through the buckle’s triglide. Very unforgiving, very difficult to get the adjustment right. I’ll definitely be picking up a Kore belt. I use a Nexbelt Appendix for EDC and that ratchet system is a game changer.
Yeah, the Kore belt vs Safe Life is a huge game changer. Nexbelt is okay, but they ripped off Kore's patented track design and their belts tend to degrade faster over time from what I've heard.
Love this video and boy do I wish that kore belt had a d ring, my unit is transitioning to air assault focused operations, so we have to be able to hook in. Otherwise I'd buy the kore in a heart beat and especially for the price
I'd love to see the Ronin & Blue Alpha reviewed against other top brands like HSG, ATS, AWS, BFG, etc.
I’m interested in trying this. I’ve had cobra buckles come loose in the middle of operations. Ready to try something different
You must have been doing some really interesting maneuvers to have a Cobra buckle come loose.
I really wish some of these Battle Belts were available in a wider 2 1/4-inch width. Great review, thank you!
Kore is currently field testing a wider duty belt specifically designed for Police use. Should be releasing any day now, and it will basically be exactly what you're looking for. :)
@@TheWarriorSolution Thank you, will be needing one in Black and one in Multi-Cam.for SRT.👍
I myself have the safe life belt and I absolutely hate that thing I'm a bigger guy.. okay I'm fat your description of the belt is absolutely spot on it chafed I can't get it tight enough the Inner Belt doesn't fit half my pants it's too wide and extremely stiff almost impossible to adjust definitely going to be looking at the kore belt thank you for the info
It is what it is... I do my best to be as honest and accurate as possible with all my reviews. The Kore belt is the way to go for sure.
Good information. I have a Ronin Belt and I have had it for 6 or 7 years now and it is still as tough and strong as it was on day 1. I won’t use anything else.
SOE didn’t make the list? I’m really digging the Kore
For me I can’t do without the security of that genuine cobra buckle as I am putting my life into that thing often during helicopter operations
Yeah, in your case I would stick with a COBRA buckle for sure. The KORE belt is strong, but it absolutely isn't designed as a harness for falls.
Very good video but you should discuss inner belt widths. Ronin is 2" inner belt and will not fit any of my pants belt loops.
Had fun with my tacticon, great starter and lender, but time to upgrade. Probably going Kore.
Going from Tacticon to Kore is going to be an awesome upgrade. The Ronin and Safelife belts have wider inner belts than the others. Ferro is the thinnest. I've been wearing the inner Kore belt as my EDC CCW belt since making the video because it's super strong and very low profile.
I would love to see Kore make this in a wider option.. like a 2.25-2.5” width. Also they could borrow one of the best features of the Cobra buckle by incorporating a dual tab system on their buckles. That way you have to pull or squeeze both at the same time to release the track.
I really like the 1.75" width, personally. It's wide enough to load up whatever you'd like to carry, but not so wide that it digs into your legs and stomach when you sit down. As far as the buckle, the spring loaded lever Kore uses does a really nice job of staying in place if there is tension in the belt. I've found I have to push the belt into the buckle ever so slightly to take enough pressure off the track and hook for it to release. Never had any issues with any Kore buckle ever releasing when I didn't want it to.
@@TheWarriorSolution honestly my wish for 2+” width belt is purely selfish. I want a belt that I can use to replace my tool belt at work (petrochemical plant). The one that’s wearing out on me is an old duty belt that loosens up throughout my 12 hour shifts. I’m going to give their Garrison belt a shot to see if the 1.75 width is good enough for me. Good video by the way.
The intro was freaking intense it gave me heart palpitations.
Take a knee, drink water. You'll be okay.
@@TheWarriorSolution 😂😂
I've used most of these, Kore is the winner by far!
I really like my High Speed Gear battle belt.
Sorry to bother you, if you don’t mind, what magazine pouches are you running on the Kore belt? Why are you running the one on the angle? Is that for getting up and down easier? What IFAC is that? Thanks for the help.
Not a bother at all. :) The pistol magazine pouches are from @TREXARMS with Techlocks, the AR mag pouch is a Safariland 774, and the IFAK is an ETA Trauma Kit (Fatboy) from @ITStactical. The front pistol mag is at an angle because it makes it easier to grab it just based on how my arm bends. If you watch pro pistol shooters, you'll notice that their pistol mags are all canted until they are past the 9 o'clock position. It's just faster and easier to reload with them angled like that. Plus when you bend over, the top of the mag doesn't pock you in the stomach as much.
I'm interested in the durability of the inner belt. How does it hold up over time? I know with regular hook and loop belts, their hold becomes iffy overtime. That inner belt is going to take a lot of abuse over time, especially for us who wear it every day.
I've been wearing the Kore inner belt as my EDC gun belt since making the video. It's holding up perfectly and still works like it's brand new. I can't really speak on the other inner belts since I've been basically exclusively wearing Kore.
Do an updates video with the tacticon v2?
I have the Kore concealed carry belts one tactical and one leather I love them I need something to accommodate some more gear and a mid ride holster miswell stick with Kore I'm thinking. You can't wear these in regular pants right? Any recommendations on pants to wear with the Kore
I'm definitely biased towards Kore, but I'm also very confident you'd be really happy with their battle belt and wouldn't regret buying one. You just can't beat the adjustability and stiffness. The battle belt is 1.75" wide, while the inner belt it attaches to is only 1.5". You can pretty much wear it with any pants you'd like. Personally, I always recommend KÜHL pants because of their fit, comfort, and durability. I used to be affiliated with KÜHL, but they ended their affiliate program for now. I'd still 100% recommend them. Other "tactical" brands are Crye, Beyond Clothing, Vertx, Proper, 5.11, and Arc'Teryx.
Ya I wear 5.11 tactical pants or regular Carhartt pants usually . Deff happy with the EDC belts. I think I'm getting the Kore been trying to decide others seem good to but I wany the ratchet system.
What an over the top intro
*INCEPTION HORN*
I have a Ronin belt....I saw the Kore belt and adjustment...and I was sold.
Ronin is a super solid and proven option, but they just can't match the adjustability of Kore for sure.
@@TheWarriorSolution 5 months later, 2 more Kore belts....they are amazing.
You can buy cobra buckles and the chap belt is still cheaper even buying the COBRA buckle separately...
I am getting rid of my ronin belts because of the sizing they need to expand to the small size from 30-36 or medium size 32-38 i am like a 34 to 35 depending on what i eat.
watch out for Zentauron :) war belt very good quality
I like how even tho this is a Kore sponsored and they get the feature, you give honest review of all of them.
Thanks man. It's tricky to work on sponsored projects, but I do try to be as neutral and factual as possible. Nobody likes a shill!
I used the safelife as a duty belt for a year, and it's falling apart. With fraying material with 3 months of 40hr weeks of use. At 7 months stitching stated to come undone, and now there's a section of the outer belt where the velcro is no longer attached. It's good enough for a cheapish in a pinch buy but be saving up for better right away.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Difficult to be objective when one company has basically sponsored the video, eh? Having said that, I have been using Kore belts for years and basically use nothing else. I've even given them as presents!
I have the Safe Life belt and can attest to how difficult the belt is to size and put on. I'll be selling it and buying the Kore Battle Belt. 👍
The kore belt looks convenient but i cant help but wonder how durable it is. It looks like all the pressure rides on the plastic tab that goes into the fairly shallow recesses. If you got hooked on something while running it might tear the whole thing off. Though i might see why that could he a positive in some cases.
The buckles are all metal, so it's a metal tab that interacts with a polymer track in the belt. I asked Kore about the breaking weights and if they had done any testing a while back. Apparently, the average breaking weight was around 450lbs. Not safe for a helicopter safety line, but definitely strong enough for just about anything else.
@@TheWarriorSolutiongood to know, didn't realize it was a metal tab and not plastic
What about the new Agilite Magnetic Belt?
Are these already available on the website?
Not at thewarriorsolution.com just yet. There are links for each individual belt in the description of the video. If you go with Kore, be sure to use the code TWS10 at checkout to save 10% on your entire cart.
What do you think about the belts that have a curve to be more natural on the body?
Seems like a good idea in theory, but I haven't spent any time actually wearing or using one to be able to say one way or another. The climbing harness I use is an Arc'Teryx that's molded more curved and it's awesome. Lucas over at @trexarms recently put out a battle belt video talking about curved belts that might answer your question.
Great looking belts. How does each one differ as far as putting gear on them? Does it go around the hook side of velcro or do they have area on outside of belt to attach mag holders.etc...
Great question! Most of the belts use micro MOLLE webbing sewn onto the outer belt and basically work the same way. The exception is AXL, since the Tegris material is laser cut and you have to weave your pouches through that. Because of that, I found the AXL belt to be the most annoying to work with. In second to last place is Safelife. It's just way too stiff and a pain in the butt to get pouches mounted and everything setup.
You can mount pouches on the outside of all of them except the AXL. You could also use something like velcro one-wrap bands and just loop it around the entire belt. Esstac prefer's this method, actually, and their battle belt doesn't have any micro MOLLE webbing at all. It's just a stiff cobra buckle belt that is designed for the pouches to mount with either one wrap, WTFix straps, or Fight Light MALICE clips.
Was each belt tested out/run through any type of drill(s)? Was there a methodology for review or is this just first glance/impressions? Did kore make you wear their shirt as part of the sponsor or is it just personal choice. Why include a one piece over/padded style belt if all the other belts are 2-piece. Did kore choose the lineup or did you get to choose?
I wore each belt and ran through a series of shooting drills, including running and moving around in each belt over several days. There is a lot more footage than what you see in the video (people only watch for so long...). I also have quite a bit of experience with battle belts in general, so I'm pretty confident in first impressions as well. The Safelife belt, for example, is too stiff in my opinion, and isn't the best choice.
Kore doesn't "make me" do anything. I'm an authorized Kore dealer, and they are great friends. I choose to wear the shirt because I love the brand. They did not have any say in any portion of the video, what was said about each belt, or the final edit. My videos and reviews are my own, regardless of who pays the bills. I choose the belts, and kore purchased them for me to use. The Tacticon belt was a last minute addition because the cost of all the other belts is so high, I wanted to included an affordable alternative for those that can't afford a $150+ belt setup right now.
Hmmm you didn’t include the sof belt
Was this filmed at Wildwood Falls in OR?
Close, but no. It's in Washington.
Are they making a 2” version for the Kore belt?
Yes, it's scheduled to be released in just a couple of weeks in January of 2023.
