Its true Kore Essentials is an excellent company to deal with. I purchased 2 belts, one for myself and one for my father, both were high quality, and the shipping speed was very quick. We will happily buy again, awesome product.

Top Critical Review

“Ok belt, however it's no better than the competition and the company itself is horrible.”

Good luck trying to deal with this company if anything goes wrong with shipping or their product. Any good reviews on youtube are from somebody who got a free belt shipped to them and is sponsored by them, thusly their reviews are all compromised.

I was skeptical at first. But I'm very happy with the product. The belts are super study. And sizing them was quick and easy. I'll be buying a couple more. I've been using my belt for every occasion whether I'm carrying or not. Absolute must!

These guys make Amazing belts. I have 30 years of military and law enforcement experience. I'm a professional shooter and I'm a full time firearms instructor at work and own my own side business. I am involved with many great companies and I don't support bad products. My favorite belt of 18 years was looking beat up. I have been looking at the Kore products since their launch. I was on the fence. I finally said screw it. Get it try it out and at least your can help answer your students questions. BEYOND amazed and satisfied by these belts. Buy with confidence and they will be my go to belt and recommendation for anyone I talk with about belts HANDS DOWN.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t hesitate great company

I actually purchased two Kore Essentials gun belts and two buckles. I've scoffed, for years, at those who insisted that a true gun belt was an essential element of concealed carry. I've been carrying concealed daily for nearly 30 years and I feel like such a fool after using my Kore equipment for the last couple of months. These are absolutely essential. Nuff said. My experience with KORE has been exceptional and very refreshing. I'm sold.

Kore belts are a home run. Fit, finish, and quality is impressive... had to order a second one in OD green once i saw how great this belt is. Not to mention 2 more for X-mas gifts. Don't hesitate... you too will be impressed. Kudos to Kore for producing such a great every day belt!

These Kore belts are amazing! Everything from the presentation of the packaging And the quality of the product. I would suggest this even as a regular every day belt to someone that doesn't carry a CCW. It's durable, comfortable and very stiff. I plan to buy more buckle styles and materials. I'm happy I returned my belt from another company and went with Kore. Never looking back.

I have to say Kore Essentials belts are made with high quality materials, the locking system on the buckle works great without deforming the belt itself. I don't think I'll be buying belts anywhere else.

Tip for consumers:
Give them a try. They are a great company with a great product.

These Kore belts live up to the hype. It was a gift for my husband. And he literally claims that these were his favorite belts ever! He keeps raving about how high the quality is and the design are beautiful yet functional! Definitely worth it!

Kore makes great gear for guys. Like most guys I've owned quite a few belts over the years, and generally, they tend to get eaten up pretty quickly. I'm a larger male who rarely goes without a belt. I've often had issues with traditional belts not fitting correctly, either the hole is too loose or way too tight. After a few months, they tend to start to warp and stretch and roll. So far, my Kore belt has been a godsend. Being able to micro-adjust throughout the day has been perfect. Going on long car rides to walking around town is simple, with just a quick push or pull. I've often felt self-conscious adjusting my belt in public because it always looks like you're about to drop your pants but with Kore it's barely noticeable. This thing is sturdy and honestly one of my favorite purchases in the past year.

Kore makes awesome belts, for carrying and not carrying. I finally met a belt that doesn't have holes in in to stretch out like leather belts normally do. They have the rigidity and strength to hang some weight on your waist if you need to, and it does so without sagging. I won't wear any others. One thing worth mentioning, I'd leave a little more than just 4" over your waistline. Next time I'll leave at least 5", maybe 6".

Kore makes my favorite belts! The Buckles are durable, appropriate for use with casual and business attire, easily adjustable and their minimal size doesn't interfere with gear! I hope the X9 line will be expanded to black, silver/stainless steal and/or gold. The leather belts themselves hold their shape, haven't shown wear and the colors pair well with my footwear and jackets. By the by, I started a weight loss regimen three months ago--when I got the belts--and have gone from 223 to 188 pounds…losing several inches off my waistline! It's great having belts that conform to my body without having to punch unsightly holes through leather.

Living in NYC, I have a lot of stylish clothing that doesn't do much in the way of protection when the weather gets rough. Decided to up my game with this little beauty that is vibrant, well constructed, and fits perfectly without being tight

I'm naturally skeptical of pretty much everything, and these belts were no different. To say I'm completely satisfied is an understatement. Extremely comfortable and easier to use than a standard belt, keeps everything in place perfectly, and best of all with the track system, it's perfect for when you decide to hit the local buffet and need to let things a little more loose. 10/10, it's my every day belt from now on; carrying or not.

We
Have been doing business with Kore Essentials for two years or more.
They ship immediately, and are always available for questions. Items are
Packaged very well, better than any other company we've done business
With. They also include instructions and a drawstring storage pouch made
Out of awesome material. The belts usually last a year for my husband
As he is a mechanic and gives it a lot of use. Only belt that has ever
Held up his holster adequately and is easily adjustable. He won't use
Any other. The search for the Holy Grail is over.

I now have two of Kore's EDC style belts, black and brown. I was wondering whether or not the non-leather, web belts would look nice for dress-up'. It looks fine. My wife very much admires these belts. (That is the supreme test!) Fast delivery, sturdy and attractive belt. The company is great too. I dropped one of the small retention screws and it disappeared. When I submitted my second order, on-line, I asked for a replacement screw in the order comment' section. Not only did they respond to my request, but they sent a package of four with no additional charge. Seems like a very reliable company.

Tip for consumers:
Just take your time and look at each and every product.

I have a black EDC belt and a brown EDC belt. I have a buckle for each even though they are interchangeable.

Wow I am absolutely blown away with my new Kore belt these past few weeks since I've received it. It is sturdy and durable and aesthetically pleasing for someone that wants to remain relatively low key. The strength and comfort are par to none and absolutely does its job and beyond. It holds all the weight of my CC and the comfort level makes it feel like I'm wearing a normal belt, even more comfortable than some of my normal belts! I HIGHLY recommend this belt for anyone looking to get a superior quality and quite affordable belt for whatever purpose they need it for. I have recommended them to all my friends and they are a solid company with great customer service.

Wonderful company. They have great products and great customer service. Became aware of a small piece missing from my order about 6 months after purchasing and contacted customer support about getting a replacement. They did it without even questioning. Will purchase from them again!

I would say that Kore belts are everything you ever wanted in a CCW belt and worth every penny. There belts are amazing, but their customer service even better. My belt arrived early but it was missing the belt keeper that comes in the box. I emailed them late on Saturday not expecting a reply till probably Tuesday do to the holiday. To my surprise, not only did they reply to my email at like 8:00 PM to apologize but they are sending me 2 belt keeper. I received the shipment confirmation within minutes of the email. Great product, even better service. They gained a new customer and an advocate for your company.

It took about 1 time wearing this belt to get used to it. The adjustability is excellent. It's comfortable. It's a sturdy thick belt, that's not for everyone, however does not bother me. I went through airport security with the belt on and did not set off the scanners. I will be buying more of these. Kore makes a great product

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...

I'm still waiting for this item I made a complain on Paypal Then I responded to it today and then later today I got a message from paypal saying they closed the case WTF makes no sense at all and makes it seem all more like a scam you will not get this item anytime soon and you will get bombarded with emails to buy some more crap. Paypal cannot be trusted with this scammer It's 10 days out from 30 days item is still stuck in Another state with no update tracking AVOID at your own cost this Nothing but haso then completely ridiculous

Tip for consumers:
Do not use paypal to pay these people are in bed with paypal and paypal closes your case even if you respond By the deadline and the next day case is closed ridiculous. Paypal is in bed with the scammer
