Great Belt, Great People!
February 22, 2020

Have to give a shout out to Kore essentials. The ease of navigation on their Website, their Customer Service, the process and shipping times and they make the Best Gun Belts I have ever purchased. It really is a phenomenal Company!

I purchased a 2 belt bundle from Kore, and it shipped faster than I expected. The tactical belt was big enough for me to cut it down to fit me, but the leather belt was not. It was sized a bit smaller and did not fit me comfortably. I reached out and they sent me a label to resend the leather belt and shipped me the larger version no questions asked. Highly recommend Kore Essentials.

Love this belt
May 22, 2019

I like my kore belt so much I bought a second one. I love the fact that I can get the perfect fit both from the cutting the length and the adjustability afforded by the ratchet system. I had a leather belt that I wore for over 40 years so that is my expectation for these...

Kore also makes the best sunglasses for guys! I had lost my old pair of sunglasses so I was forced to buy a new pair and when I saw the magnet feature kore uses I thought I would try something new. I thought they'd be heavier because of the magnets but these are THE MOST COMFORTABLE SUNGLASSES I have ever worn! They are extremely light but still feel like they're made very well! The magnet is very powerful and it locks on the collar of my shirt very secure! And the package it comes it is great! The case is felt lined so it shouldn't scratch the lenses! The sunshade strap works great also! And a handy little microfiber cloth to clean them! My only thought is that the magnets are SO strong it takes a little pressure to open arm so hopefully the hinges hold up over time. But definitely 5 stars from packaging to quality and fit and knowing your eyes are protected by ballistic lenses!

Pure Awesomeness!
December 22, 2020

Kore makes the best belts! When I learned that I should have a sturdy belt for concealed carry, I came across Kore Essentials and their ratchet gun belt. After having a ratcheting belt, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER KIND AGAIN! I'm 5'10", 140lbs and it it quite common for me to need to tighten my belt throughout the day. Maybe loosing weight throughout the day, I don't know. But a ratcheting belt allows me to have the finite amount of adjustment. After having a Kore Essentials leather gun belt for about 4 years, the leather began to crack and did not hesitate to order a replacement. I also ordered one of their nylon 1.5" gun belts at the same time and it looks great. And don't do what I did. I cut the nylon belt the same length as the leather belt and now it is too short. ALWAYS cut it a longer than you think. You can always cut more off, but you can't add it back on. Follow the instructions!

BEST ON THE MARKET
September 21, 2021

I have tried a few other belts but none of them even come close to KORE quality. This belt is by far the best I've ever seen. Also super fast shipping and well worth the money...

I was referred to Kore Essentials by a fellow veteran and friend of mine who let me try out his belt before purchasing. Needless to say, I WAS AMAZED! As a combat veteran, firearms professional, martial artist, I ordered FOUR tactical webbed reinforced belts with different belt buckles and find it hard to STOP WARING one of the belts so that I can try the other belts that I got. I LOVE KORE ESSENTIALS! I will be promoting their products here in Chicago, IL. Every time I conduct my Illinois Concealed Carry License Class for now on. AWESOME PRODUCTS!

Best EDC Belt Ever!
November 25, 2020

I purchased a black leather Kore Essentials belt with the X1 buckle in June of 2019 and have worn it every day since receiving it loaded up with my concealed carry and extra magazines. Before purchasing this belt I would wear out a typical leather belt every few months but this thing is incredible! It has not sagged, stretched, or frayed at all... The notches that hold the buckle in place are solid and I have never had an issue with slippage or the teeth breaking. It's easy to pull tight when you step out of a vehicle and easy to loosen slightly when you get back in the vehicle. The leather belt looks good enough to wear with jeans or a suit. If you're looking for a sturdy, good-looking, reliable leather belt to hold your weapon in place and your pants up I can't recommend these Kore belts enough... They are reasonably priced, in fact downright cheap when you consider they will last for years if not forever as far as I can tell... If you carry every day all the time you will not regret buying one of these... Stay healthy and stay safe!

Kore makes the best belts ever. Amazingly comfortable does a great job of supporting my daily carry Glock19 with an iwb owb holster. I love being able to make small adjustments using KOREs ratching system. HANDS DOWN the best belt i have ever owned. I have already referred my friends.

Support/Rescue
September 22, 2020

After plenty of youtube reviews seen and having seen high ratings and having seen similar products, I decided to dive in and bought a total of six Kore belts and accessories. I love the product and is very durable and quality is superior. Customer service was excellent and Doreen called me personally just to make sure I did not duplicate my orders. Duplicate because my wife wanted same belt as mine. The belt is stiff yet forgiving as I loosen the quick release lever. It holds my gun firmly and it allows for the clip to latch on without binding. Planning to buy a set for my brother this Christmas and I am certain there will be no disappointment. As my title goes... I recently went to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park and my 80 yr old active mother hiked the narrows, angels landing, and the navajo loop to name a few. I used the belt around her waist for supporting my mother during steep decent and areas where trails were dangerously slippery. My sister had slipped and fallen on one of the trails and I used the belt to pull her out of the rut. Needless to say I highly recommend this product and would continue to do business with Kore Essentials.

Couldn't be better
January 15, 2022

The new Kore battle belt is the best I've owned to date. Let me preface this by saying I've owned a number of other manufacturers battle type belts. The rigidity has only been equaled in one other manufacturer, add the molle and ratcheting belt closure and it is head and shoulders above. Then add the ability to custom size the belt tby trimming to me exactly... perfection!

Disappointed
September 11, 2020

Really surprised I'm even having to write this review considering how much excitement I had to order from these guys... I found them after learning about slide belts, did some research online and decided Sind I edc that I should get a slide belt with that in mind! From the research I did this was the best brand for the money so I got on their site to make an order.

I decided on the x3 buckle which was out of stock for two weeks. I anxiously waited and as soon they were in I ordered. I ordered the x3 with a tan leather belt and a black leather belt... what arrived was a tan tactical belt. I contacted them and had unclear instructions that I need to send it back at my own expense. So I did.

When they received it they apparently had no idea what to do with it so they called to figure it out. They basically scolded me for not putting a note in the box saying what to do. Not only was it rude for them to have talked to me like that but it's completely unreasonable considering whomever emailed me saying to send it back DID NOT instruct me to do so. Overall I like the belts but the customer service is rude and dismissive...

The guys at Kore have great products and great customer service. I'd gone through quite a few reviews looking for a good reinforced gun belt with the ratcheting adjustments rather than holes. I landed on Kore Essentials and decided to buy 2. After I made my purchase, I went back into the site and was greeted with a popup ad that advertised 10% off on your first purchase, which I did not receive having just made my first purchase. I was a little upset about this that I didn't see it before. I sent Kore an email and saw within hours that they had already credited my account with the discount that I mentioned. WOW! Once I received the belts, they were very easy to cut and size and attach the buckle. I love the ratcheting system that allow you to make the tiniest adjustments to your tightness based on what you are wearing or standing or sitting or whatever the situation is. I've worn the 2 belts for several weeks now, and really show no wear from my holster clips and they look great. I wear them with jeans or slacks and will be replacing any other belts that I've used in the past.

LOOK NO FURTHER!
January 25, 2022

I purchased my first Kore tactical belt 2 years ago and I was uncertain at first how I would like this belt. After I received it and cut it to size and attached the buckle and tried it with my EDC I was astounded how well I liked it. This belt is so easy to adjust and to remove a clip on holster when you have to and easily reattach the holster when able. I have a top quality traditional leather belt by one of the better belt makers that I paid twice the price for that I never use now. This is a much better system especially when paired with a kydex holster. I carry IWB a Glock 23 or a S&W model 64 2 inch snub and it carries both equally well. I use a Garrett ST GT holster. I just received another black tactical belt with the stainless X4 buckle and it's fantastic. I really like the solid stainless buckle, it looks great! I highly recommend that anyone try one of these belts for EDC, you won't regret it.

I have only worn it for 2 weeks, but the belt is really nice. Made in China, but so a little disappointed considering the price. But it seems to be a very quality made product, can really recommend.
