KORE ESSENTIALS DUTY BELT

[@Impoxdragon]

I asked Kore about the belt buckle finishes for departments that require specific finishes for duty and was told in May/June Silver and Brass finishes will be available.

[@brothermathisgoon]

We’re in July

[@Impoxdragon]

​@brothermathisgoon I asked again last month and they quoted 60-90 days. Turns out that's the estimate they also gave at Shot Show.

[@brothermathisgoon]

@@Impoxdragon Im doubtful it will come. Such a bummer. Looking for other options

[@Impoxdragon]

@brothermathisgoon Nexbelt has one but the threads around the track fray after use. The buckle looks more traditional but the silver buckle is bundled with the basketweave belt only for some reason. I don't really like their belts but it's the other option.

[@edweidow6678]

Bought one and its the best belt I have used in the 13 years I have been a police officer (seriously). I've been telling all my fellow officers about it. Now I am looking forward to the new and innovative products Kore comes up with next!

[@GunsWatchesCO]

Love my Kore duty belt. Been wearing it for almost a year now. Best belt I have used.

[@OdesiusKrosa]

You’ll definitely have to do a follow up. I’ve had mine a little over a month so far and am loving it.

[@leeofficial6]

Very well made sturdy belt that fits better than my Safelife outer and inner belt. Well worth the the price. love how you can adjust in small increments that no other belt does that I know of.

[@demetriuscrandall4250]

I just want to thank you for everything you do to make this profession better. I am currently in the Law Enforcement academy here in Texas and I enjoy your videos! Have a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year!

[@WinstonBanks11]

These are fantastic!! Just picked up a basketweave version 2 weeks ago when it was released and its like no other patrol belt I ever had. The fact that I can adjust the tension and size like looseing when I sit or cinching when I add gear is really an awesome feature. In my opinion its a big upgrade over my safelife, bianchi and safariland belts.I've collected them all over the years. I will probably end up tossing those belts out now.

[@Omar19838]

Kore makes the best edc model belts that I can vouch for.

[@Keith259]

Switched out my Bianchi belt for this Kore belt last week and so far its a way better solution for my back pain and hips. You can adjust it on the fly making it fit better and more comfortable. It's a nice upgrade and worth the money.

[@B_kiz]

Ive worn their gun belt daily for like 5 years and I LOVE it! This duty belt will 100% be my next uniform allowance purchase. They also have watch straps which I've been eyeing but I'm waiting on them to release more sizes.

[@brushemteeth9159]

I was waiting for a classic inner-outer duty belt by Kore. Interesting!

[@mvan34]

Have been using the new Kore duty belt on the street since last November and I love it. Many of my law enforcement coworkers have switched over to this belt as well and I’ve heard nothing but good things. So impressed I just purchased one of the Kore competition speed belts and I’m a huge fan.

[@NickEnglund]

I've really enjoyed my Kore belt. I've told coworkers I think it's one of the best buys of Law Enforcement gear I've made in 17 years. Love it's adjustability while also being rigid enough to support a duty handgun and other gear. Their customer service is top notch as well.

[@cendres1000]

I have to say after wearing several different types of duty belts over the last 20 years, my new Kore has been by far the most comfortable duty belt I have used. Plenty of support and the ease of adjustment is a great feature. This will be the only duty belt I use from now on.

[@emsrusty846]

I’ve had mine for a couple months and IT IS AWESOME 👏

[@jeffreyrowland2686]

Did you actually use this belt? Which is your preference between it and the safelife basketweave?

[@roadpirate5069]

Love the channel. Just ordered one of these belts. Looking forward to wearing it on duty. I have to ask though, what brand of duty shirt is that? Looks like its has stretch panels on the side seams?

[@CJ-kp2lk]

Thank you for the review! I would love to see a wear update after using for a while. I look forward to trying this when they hopefully release a nylon finish version.

[@meekhd]

This will be perfect for post- breakfast on dayshift.

[@dodgefan15223]

Thank you so much for posting !! I have been waiting for a demo of this belt to see if my ASP pouches and teklock pouches will fit around the belt

[@1982PRODUCTIONS]

I am a civilian from military. I was looking into kore belts and I will get the duty belt and edc belt as well. Nice video

[@555slam]

I have the battle belt version of this belt and love it! But . . . I don't have cuffs or a traditional mag pouch on that belt. I load my normal duty belt as much forward of my 3/9 line as possible so I don't have to sit on anything in my low back, thus have my mags and cuffs on either side of the buckle in the front. Seems this belt negates the 3-4" to the left of the buckle for any gear for the belt tip to come through the buckle.

[@gtrspeed5311]

I came here to say exactly that. Not great for those of us not able to redistribute gear to an external vest carrier and therefore needing to squeeze as much on the belt as possible. I suppose one could trim down the belt pretty far to eliminate as much tail as possible to gain back some of that space, but at the expense of never being able to make the belt any larger down the road.

[@Dave-0]

I noticed the same thing. Any chance the belt material is thin enough that you could attach something with a TekLok or Safariland 745 BL type clip over the overlap section? Sharp belt though. Great option if you don’t need to carry a great multitude of items at your waist.

[@brentperkins6521]

I was looking for this comment. I wear my mag pouch vertically just to the left of the buckle on my Safariland belt. It looks like it would have to shift pretty far to the left with this belt. My mag pouch belt loop is pretty loosened up, so I'm wondering if I can slide the flap in behind it (in the loop). Otherwise, I might have to move my mag pouches to the right side against my sidearm.

[@555slam]

@@brentperkins6521 I went ahead and bought the belt to try it out and wore it on duty for the first time yesterday. The way I have my belt cut (per instructions) it only shifted my mag pouch about 1-2" to the left. Worth it in my mind. I also just moved my TQ pouch to the front of my holster to make more room to slide things to the left. Overall, it's much better than the Bianchi belt I've been using and worth the money.

[@brentperkins6521]

@@555slam Ok thanks! That definitely helps a lot. Now I'm torn between the Kore and the X duty belt. It actually clasps in the middle but stretches!

[@KE8NUF]

Kore is my ride or die belt, very cool!

[@Paycheck708]

I have the battle belt version on the way for the molle

[@Justin-LaFleur]

For the Buckle for those that are required to have a brass or stainless/nickel finished belt buckle. There is always spray paint.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

I think the hanger is a quite nice feature

[@SecurityGuy71]

That is a nice-looking duty belt. I am looking at getting a new basket weave duty belt in the new year. Thanks for the review.

[@OneAster1sk]

that's awesome! have a EDC from them.

[@Paycheck708]

Can you talk about all the things you have attached to your belt in terms of how stable they are attached? I’m wearing a molle belt and have the Kore micro-adjustable battle belt on the way. That said, the load rating for the duty belt is significantly higher, but I find that my mag pouch etc move too much on a non-molle belt.

[@bigbluemsp]

How is your mag attached?

[@Paycheck708]

@@bigbluemsp right now, it is attached via molle to my safelife defense belt. Previously, when it was attached to a straight nylon belt, it slipped and slid. My Kore micro-adjustable battle belt reportedly arrived today, so it will be molle on that too. It’s the safelife defense triple mag holder, but I’m open to change if needed for something that will clamp on and stay put on a straight leather / faux leather.

[@kgee8303]

what brand magazine pouch was that?

[@grassshadow1]

I've been wanting to see a review on this

[@gmoneycash7456]

Is it as good as the Blauer adjustable belt?

[@SkilledButcher]

Why did you cut off a piece of it?

[@callen0892]

I just wish someone could make a leather looking belt, with molle. That’d be badass. Give the professional look, with the versatility of molle

[@Diccusmaximus]

Check out X belts, they've got exactly that

[@teddy2guns404]

All my belts are kore

[@PianomanMIC]

Currently working plain clothes, what’s your opinion on Kores dress gun belts?

[@riflemanm16a2]

Not quite related, but why do cops’ mag pouches always point the bullets away from the body, perpendicular to the belt instead of towards the belt buckle, parallel to the belt like all other mag pouches on the market? It seems like an awkward hand position to grab them that way, and they stick out from the belt more. Is the purpose just to fit more magazines on a smaller section of the belt?

[@JoserAvilaa_760]

What brand are your belt keepers?

[@2234chrisdavis]

Hey Sir, would you reccomend this belt or the safe life defense? I am looking to upgrade my gear (police officer) my pockets are only so deep, looking to buy 1 of the 2.

[@Justifiedforce]

Are you wearing this on duty??

[@Matthewslee596]

its a smart belt design

[@jakejudson8578]

How much?

[@whatis_updogs]

it'd be nicer if they make a 2" version instead of 2.25"

[@BiccBoi9]

Why don’t you like 2in? 2.25 is where its at.

[@BiccBoi9]

@OhDarkThirty_ Literally the same? No. Some are 2in some are 2.25.

[@renegade7493]

Be glad if it was molle like Safelife

[@whatis_updogs]

@OhDarkThirty_ For folks who are smaller in size, a 2" belt has a lower profile, which result in increase in comfort without the belt digging under the ribs or on the rim of the pelvis. I know majority of the gears are made for tradition 2.25" belts, but once the duty belt is locked onto the inner belt, there's little to no wiggle for holsters and gears. So imo, a 2" duty belt is beneficial without sacrificing the load rating of the belt structure.

[@jamesmaze7134]

​Kore makes the a Belt in MOLLE, It's 1 3/4 inch though. I wear it at work 5 days a week.​@@renegade7493

[@Jibs-HappyDesigns-990]

nice 1 ...MCHNY!!

[@derose2026]

1.75” battle belt for the molle! I would purchase a second if the duty belt was 1.75-2” with molle.

[@josepharnold1345]

Seems like you’re giving up a lot of valuable space around the buckle.

[@Koreessentialsbrand]

He could trim the belt length down a few more inches and get gear right up close to the buckle. Thanks.

[@matthewfarmer5284]

Nice if they make it bigger also

[@awmperry]

Here in Sweden, the gold standard is the Snigel Design Utrustningsbälte ("equipment belt") 09. It's what the police issue, and it's what I've worn working security for almost seven years. Really comfortable, clean and stable.

[@TFW3717]

In Finland Police, Border Guard, Customs and Prison guards also use snigel Design duty belt as well or our version of it called Authorities police duty belt. Pretty good belt in overall.
