Their belt has changed my dang life. Being able to adjust it discreetly while sitting for long periods and then snuggling back up when I get up is a game changer.

How is the belt holding up and did you purchase the leather or nylon belt. I realize this is an older post but hoping to see how these belts are holding up to someone who actually carries every day.

[@MattP-BandB]

I've tried adjustable ratchet belts from several manufacturers. Kore Essentials make the best by far.

This is all I needed to know. Thank you Sir.

[@maxcollins7876]

I carry every day with this belt. Rock solid solution and after 3 years not a complaint.

Just got my gun belt today, first one, it will definitely not be the last. Five minutes into wearing it I can already tell I will wear this belt with everything

[@ericpewpew_rn5294]

Have been using their belts for a couple of years. What’s nice is being able to cut it for yourself. I have chopped almost a foot of mine since starting my diet.

[@HarleyWood23]

@Kore Belts , hope you've stopped spamming comments. I've had multiple youtube "users" all posting the exact same comment touting the greatness of your belts. It looks like a great belt, but let it speak for itself. Don't spoof comments across channels.

Been using their gun belt about 6 months now. Love how adjustable it is. Used it in a class today and it worked well.

[@fafausto47]

I’ve had a Kore gun belt for about a year, it’s a great belt, I highly recommend it!! It makes carrying so much easier, you don’t even notice you’re are carrying..

[@rdnewland]

Got one! Best belt ever! Everything said here and more! Best carry belt I have ever owned and also a very attractive belt for any occasion dress and/or carry.

[@jasonakes9182]

Best gun belt you can buy. I bought five other gun belts before these Kore belts, and I seriously thought the other manufacturers had never worn a weapon in their life. Kore really thought these through for people like me who wear these products on duty, both in uniform and in a suit. I loved my first one so much I bought another within a week. These belts cinch down perfectly, carry a heavy load, and are rigid as can be. The buckles are awesome.

[@boostednick]

Just ordered the Kore X3 black tactical gun belt. I'm some what of a bigger fella so to be able to discreetly loosen and tighten the belt when needed is a big game changer. Just went on a diet and started back in the gym too so as I lose weight I won't have to ever worry about the belt becoming too big. I can just trim it down as needed.

[@edgarmartinez3649]

Mine just arrived and wow they totally exceeded my expectations. First they seem super well made and supportive. Then I put it on a added my rig and it helps adjust to my gun is perfectly fitted to my hip. Like a glove. I will def be buying more from Kore.

[@kevincurran1783]

I bought my first one several years ago. The moment I tried it, I knew I would never own a traditional belt again. Can be adjusted to a perfect fit. With every penny.

[@_DST0NE_]

I've had 2 of these belts in my EDC rotation for a while now and wouldn't want to wear any other type of belt to carry appendix with. Super comfortable and easy to adjust.

[@v33patrick]

Love my Kore! I have a 24” waist worked great! I got the gun belt! Best belt ever had! I work in mud and rain on bulldozers! Belt has held up beautifuly!

[@clarkrp1960]

Yep, love my Kore belt. Everyday carry for me. What I love about this over other belts is you can adjust it on the fly. Losen a bit when you sit down is a nice comfort feature.

[@carlmaki]

I bought their gun belt about a year ago and I absolutely love it.

[@gnarl12]

Those are some really ingenious belts. The leather looks awesome.

[@richkestrel7416]

For what it's worth, I have one of the nylon gun belts (the reinforced belt), and use it every day. I also carry somewhere between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock, and haven't noticed that slight kink that you have. I encourage anyone who carries to give this belt a try. It works as advertised - and as demonstrated by Mr GNG - and really makes a difference in the comfort of carrying a firearm.

[@meanman6992]

I use a Kore gun belt everyday. For the cost, I'm really happy and love the ratchet setup. They do eventually take the shape of your waist and gun. At which point it feels like it loses a little stiffness but it's still pretty stiff, considerably stiffer than any normal leather belt.

[@2gunkittythecatnipoutlaw391]

I've been wearing the Kore belt for past yr. Holds up great and love the track system for tight fit.

[@EVLfreak666]

I've been using my nylon kore gun belt for almost a year. It's a must have for keeping your pistol tight against your body.

[@rayvolver4466]

I have the nylon x5 that i use every day with different guns and holsters. It works great i highly recommend it.

[@Zevon45]

Love and have worn the Kore dress gun belt everyday for the last 3 years. Time for a new Kore belt though. The kettle bell test: Just in case that visit to the all-you-can-eat buffet goes awry.

I’m really liking my X5 Kore belt. Ease with which u can adjust the belt when sitting for a long time, after chow, etc beats having to readjust Velcro, whatever, every time.

[@Joe.dirt7909]

I’ve got four of them.....2 (leather) for edc/gun belt and 2 (leather) for dress clothes/Church belt.

[@92JoseR]

My experience with kore has been this. Bought a leather belt and a original buckle and the belt split in half after a year or so. So I bought a nylon belt and my original buckle would split the belt at the spikes and come loose. It happened a few times. So I bought a new style buckle which has a much more solid lockup. It's still in use and I like it.

[@jakeowen9665]

as always love the content and kore is solid

[@Keith259]

Just picked up my 3rd one of these belts and they seem to keep getting better. If you carry as much as I do I would recommend getting 2 or 3 so you can swap it up.

[@torybanks4914]

I love my Kore belts and wear them 7 days a week.

[@crankie66]

A great belt 5 stars would recommend kore for all gun owners

[@anitas.3392]

I recently changed from a 380 to a 9mm, and the increased weight of the pistol caused problems. The extra width and stiffness of the Kore leather belt supports the extra weight, and makes carrying noticeably more comfortable. The buckle adjustment helps also, allowing you to easily get the fit just right. So it works for me.

[@rover642]

Love mine. I have 3 of them.

[@jjschiffli7085]

Been deployed with mine for about 9 months. Keeps my drop leg where I need it, and seems to hold up pretty well after being soaked a million times.

[@Sam-iw6te]

I've used the KORE leather dress gunbelt for a while now. Bought my dad one, too. We wear them every day, and they have no problem holding my revolver, three speedloaders, and a knife, all of which I wear daily. I've hung from trees with that belt, and once it's on it STILL lays flat against the waist, whether theres a gun on it or not.

[@JoshuaDomoslai]

Nice. I remember seeing a post or a video somewhere here or on Instagram and I lost it. I’ve been searching everywhere for this ratcheting style belt.

[@barrypatterson5262]

I now have 2 Kore belts the black leather dressier one which works very well and new tactical belt which is stronger. The tactical style is my every day belt and I love the ratcheting system it works perfectly

[@timothythomas1626]

Until I put this Gun Belt on I never knew what I was missing. Once you Carry with a Kore Belt You will Never go Back to the Others. I have worn Belts such as Wilderness Tactical And others with this style. Now I am not saying that Wilderness and others similar don't make a Quality Product. As they do. However this is a Whole other realm - Technology. And can't be fairly compared. My Kore Gun Belt Paired with My ULTICLIP on my KYDEX holster. Creates the Ultimate carry Experience. Carry G-19. I saw it here on MR Guns & Gear first.

[@ccc9139]

Currently using a wildernesses CSM instructor belt, love it. I am definitely interested in these as a low profile option!

My 5th year wearing kore gun belts since I took a chance and bought one in 2018. One of my better purchases for sure. I can tell ya once you wear one of these track belts you cant do holes no more.

[@billyparker8509]

my Kore gun belt is well over 2 years ole now and its still looks very spiffy and I cc most days iwb. I just decided to get the tac style and man is this thing nice. its much stiffer but the new buckles are major improvement and the whole thing is aces.

[@Elmer_RedEagle]

I have a different brand, but same concept. Mine is still going strong after 3 years, I first was worried about the teeth on belt wearing out over time and it not ratcheting properly. But they are holding up just fine.

[@g0dsgreen]

Hopefully they're better than the 1st generation leather that came apart on me after a month.

[@craw5816]

I had the same problem, belt coming apart. I called them they were like we never seen that before and then told me mine was a one off problem. Lol I see others are having the same problem.

[@Koreessentialsbrand]

You may have had a defective belt. Our newer belts have a Power-Core center that is nearly unbreakable. You can contact [e-mail] and get a free replacement. Thanks.

[@russell1823]

I have had my kore leather gun belt for 4 years. There were times I would hit the flat range and do 2000 rounds a month much of it concealed draw 1:1 drills. (Trex arms sidecar Glock 19 w/rmr) This is the best everyday carry belt that is realistic for us all. The ratchet system is extremely comfortable and reliable.

[@n7honeybadger103]

The quality of the regular gun belt is what prompted me to buy the battle belt.

[@2011Rick]

I generally carry 16 hours/day and did wear out one of the very early Kore leather belts in about 1-1/2 years, but I have a new Kore tactical belt and they have made substantial improvements; it's stiff enough to carry just about anything belt-mounted and I would never use a belt without a ratchet system. The leather belt had started to crease/crack, but never had a problem with the ratchet system. I've tried the "tactical" NexBelt which also has a ratchet system, but it's not nearly as stiff as the new Kore offering.

[@garyt1974]

I’ve owned a lot of “gun belts” over the past 30 years. Honestly this Kore is without a doubt the most comfortable, adjustable, and adequately weapon / holster supportive belt I’ve tried.

[@AustenR23]

Did you ever review the Kore battle belts??? They look prettty cool but want to hear what you think.

[@epoen2012]

I've watched a dozen kore belts review. You're the first that I've come across that speaks to the non-gun carrying people lol.

[@biskitmofo4627]

I have the same Kore tac belt (x5) and its amazing and sturdy. Holds up my edc equipment which is a vp9 (a heavier gun I might add, crkt provoke knife and a stream light flashlight. Definitely does the job 10x better than my original belt. Only issue is the loop on the belt I have to put elsewhere when I hang the belt.

[@f308gtb1977]

I probably have 10 gun belts but you make me feel like I need at least one more! Nice review Mike.

[@kingkowboys]

I have a Kore Essentials leather gun belt. It’s really awesome for OWB and 3-4 o’clock IWB carry. Personally I carry AIWB primarily and I find the rigidity is uncomfortable with movement. I’m considering trying a dress belt for aiwb since it will give more with movement especially bending and sitting.

[@netflooder263]

Make sure you cut the right end when sizing it, should be obvious but you never know.

[@TheOlman35]

Purchased the leather gun belt from Kore about a year ago and it was the best all around belt I could find in the market (IMO).. so when I saw there tac belt I ordered 2. 1 in green and 1 gray.. first impression? So much stiffer then the leather gun belt. The new style buckle was very nicely powder coated.. measured the belts, cut them and tried it on.. stiff and strong and if there’s flex I didn’t notice.. I’ve been wearing the tac belt for about 3 months and have seen near zero ware.. So as stated, the leather belt for dinner occasions and all other nice attire. The tac belt ? Only issue I had, and was able to fix was the buckle was sticking, A little to much power coating I guess.. A little scraping and a drop of oil and perfect.. Note: the color diff from the gray and green is very little. Yes each color is as it’s stated just not a major difference. Very pleased with Kore and with there available options you have one for every occasion👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mrgunsngear]

thanks for the report

[@ST-Y]

Before my Kore gun belt I previously owned a mission belt to carry but the buckle couldn’t hold the nylon belt as firmly as this one. I think the two set screws is a genius idea and solves the problem the mission belt had. Plus the nylon belt from Kore Essentials is much stiffer and firm holding all my tools and pants very securely.

[@drmaudio]

One note on the leather gun belt. The description can be taken to mean that it is a genuine leather belt with a synthetic core. That is technically true, but can be a little misleading. The inside layer is real leather, then the synthetic core (I'm not sure what it is, but it's a lot less brittle than Kydex.), then some kind of felt and a synthetic leather front. I found that a little disappointing, but it is a good belt and I've been happy with it's performance.

[@Mrgunsngear]

Thanks; I don't have a leather gun belt so haven't played with one of those

[@herknorth8691]

I bought one of these Kore belts a while back and it's been very good so far. Being able to rapidly snug the belt down has really helped me stay concealed. I don't know why, but as the day progresses sometimes I find my gun's grip leaning out more. With the ability to snug the belt down a few clicks I can tighten the gun back into my body. Very nice feature that most other belts don't offer.

[@Jonesboy2398]

Pretty sure an arrow just flew by you😂 @ 7:43

[@garysmartin1]

Have one gun and a dress. Nice belts and suggest leaving at least 6 inches extra so you dont have to unbuckle if you have to use a public john. Keeps your gun off the floor. The black on the buckle wore off before 12 months and is not covered by warranty though.

I think the ratchet system for this was taken from a company called mission belt that was aired on shark tank in like 2015. I have one of their belts which is nice.
