“Awesome”

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.

To be quite honest everything about these Kore Essentials belts are 5 stars, looks, comfort, quality, functionality, all perfect. Hands down the best belts I have ever owned (I own 2). I will never buy a belt from another manufacturer again. I am planing to buy a 3rd in the tactical size. I have recommended these belts to my whole family. So why 4 stars and not five There is one missing feature that would make this 100% the best EDC belt ever. It needs to have a money belt zipper for cash and documents. The belt I had for years before this was a money belt, but it was cheap garbage, the buckles would brake, ugly nylon web only looked good with casual cloths, difficult to size without melting the end of the nylon. The only thing I miss about my old belt is the money pocket. If you make a great leather belt like the one I got with a money pocket I will buy another one, or 2, or 3.

Tip for consumers:
During my initial order I had a problem when their automated system rejected my purchase, most likely due to using a VPN with an overseas email. When I called their customer service it was apparent that I was talking to someone at their company, not an outsourced call center. They were vey professional and helpful, we quickly resolved the problem. Don't hesitate to call the customer service if you have a problem.

Products used:
I bought 2 of KORE's belts and buckles. One dress belt and one duty belt.

First, let me say that I love the fit and function of these Kore belts. They are amazing. But I had an issue with my original order and I wasn't sure if I had done something wrong, or what had happened. So I contacted Kore and explained my issue and without so much as blinking an eye they shipped me a replacement and sent a short note saying so. It was fantastic customer service AND it's a great product. I will buy again.

They make the best belts ever. I have now purchased a total of 3 Kore belts and buckles. Easy to size, great fit and superior quality. The ratchet system is the best feature, very easy to adjust. I don't normally review stuff but had to for this.

Kore makes great products. I've ordered 4 times from Kore and the belts are very solid and well made and very adjustable. I've not had the belts long enough to judge durability but by their appearance I'd say they should last a long time

Quality is superior, second to none. The belt arrived quickly and is everything as advertised. Sturdy construction and highly adjustable. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Great for duty, IWB or OWB use. Amazing product.

Kore are the only EDC belts I would trust. I have 4 of the gun belts and then decided I wanted two more softer regular belts for days I can't carry. Best idea ever. The comfort, simplicity, and strength of the gun belts and the comfort and perfect amount of rigidity on the classic belts can't be beaten.

It is hands down the most comfortable belt I've ever worn. Having a job that is physically demanding and involves long hours (18 days), it is important to find a belt that can hold up. This IS that belt. Style and comfort all in one. Already ordered one of the heavy duty KORE battle belts and look forward to setting it up! Nice job KORE!

I recently purchased a black gun belt directly from the Kore Essentials website and received it quickly and in great packaging. The belt was easy to put together and fits and feels great when carrying my firearm, or just to wear. The buckle is good quality and so is the belt itself. It's nice that it doesn't scream that I'm carrying a gun. So personally I've been very happy with the product and my experience with the company!

I purchased the two belt bundles on sale from Kore Essentials and both belts are very rigid. They were easy to set up. Wearing these belts with my edc is extremely comfortable. The belts support the gun and holster and mag pouches very well. Prior to these belts I wore a black basket weave belt that I used to wear under my duty belt. That belt would sag a little under the weight of my edc. Kore belts don't sag at all, hold everything close to the body and are extremely easy to manipulate the buckle. I highly recommend these belts to friends.

Great belt and company. I had a bit of a hiccup getting my belt set up, but got a quick and clarifying response from the company that got me squared away. As for the belt itself, it's great quality! Absolutely recommend picking one

I think I now have all the buckle designs offered by Kore. Strong springs, all hold perfect and look good. The Kore service is the best with the fastest shipping. Yes I now own 7 Kore Belts. What does that say as to quality, workmanship and service?

I can't believe the quality of these belts. Bought 2 belts three weeks ago. I couldn't be happier. They say if you want a quality product you have to pay for it, in this case that couldn't be more true. Don't look any further, buy this belt. Any of them. You won't regret it.

These Kore belts are great, very stiff, very customizable and overall good construction. The option of being modular and able to interchange belts and buckles is a huge plus. I had a small mishap with the product I received. Reached out to Kore Support who was very helpful and got me a replacement sent in very short order. Big Shout Out to Shawn. Very Professional and overall a great company to do business with.

These kore belts make my EDC so much more comfortable than trying to make a regular belt work. After one day of use I threw away all my regular belts and ordered another pair of belts from Kore. I now have casual and dress belts that work for all my EDC needs so thats pretty good.

Tip for consumers:
YouTube discount codes if you follow the right channels. Guns and Gadgets on YouTube had an EDC segment that provided a 10% code that worked. The belts speak for themselves.

So I originally found Kore when I was looking for a good quality and sturdy belt. And I can tell you there belts are amazing. So When I heard they released a new line of sunglasses I didnt hesitate to buy a pair. And they didn't disappoint, these sunglasses are awesome! I had been wearing Oakleys for 15 years. Kore knocked it out of the park. Everything is says in the description is true. I was a little worried about how strong the magnets would be, but they have great strength. You could literally clip them to the bottom of your shirt without them going anywhere. I look forward to doing more business with them

Great product with quality craftsmanship. I was very please with the return policy because I actually ordered the standard belt rather than the gun belt like I wanted. The exchange order was made without hassle. Love the product and solid company!

My experience was great with Kore, this belt is great! I needed a quality belt to carry my firearm on and hold my pants up and this was it. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to carry a firearm edc or just for work. 10 of 10 stars!

Great Belts! I had purchased the X6 Kore belt the week before and was so impressed with the quality I decided to get 2 more belts including the X1 leather belt. These belts are amazingly sturdy and feels great when carrying IWB. Nothing moves or falls down all day long. Next I want to purchase a 4th belt for my father.

I purchased a 2 belt bundle (leather and tactical) from Kore Essentials 5 months ago. I placed the order on a Wednesday and received the package in 3 days, on that Saturday. Since then, I have worn tactical belt 6 days a week with IWB holster with no issues. And the belt still does not show ware. The days I do not wear the tactical belt, I wear the leather belt. The only issue I have is the bundle did not also include a black belt keeper for the leather belt. This is not a complaint, more of a "wish it had it". I would recommend and have recommended these belts and company to others.

My Kore EDC Gun Belt is the best belt I have ever used. I did a lot of research before purchasing this belt and looked at a lot of different manufactures before making a purchase. I choose the X6 Black Buckle model and the weight it supports is incredible. There is no sag when carrying concealed and the comfort of the belt is amazing. Kore Essentials did a great job its top notch quality. Next I want a another one that is dressier.

Tip for consumers:
Definitely purchase a high quality gun belt from Kore Essentials.

Kore makes the best belts and buckles, ever! I've been using them for over a year now and I'm up to four belts, and now four buckles. The quality and selection are 2nd to none. I was sharing a buckle between my black and brown fashion belts. While easy enough to do, I went ahead and got the buckle to even out my collection of the best belts there are. I couldn't imagine using a regular/standard belt again. I'm to used to adjusting my belts often to accommodate my comfort level, with gun, with out gun, before meal, after meal, not to mention bloating. It's so easy to adjust a bit as needed. I can't say enough how great these are. Everyone deserves to have this belt/buckle. And get the hangers they have. Very useful for hanging the ones you're not wearing.
Try at least one, you'll love it!

Tip for consumers:
I tried to upload pic of my belts hanging that I took with my phone. I won’t accept the photo, wants jpeg gif, I don’t know how to do that.

I bought a Kore reinforced gun belt and its definitely made of high quality materials, this gun belt holds its own. Supports my fire arm with no problems and is able to be adjusted to the perfect comfortable size. Will be ordering the black nylon gun belt next! Very happy with KORE's products.

UPDATE: The KORE Essentials Reinforced Gun Belt is hands down my new favorite gun belt. KORE has really proven themselves with these belts. They are truly a work of art and are crafted to perform. I have tried multiple brands of gun belts and KORE's has become my absolute favorite. The belt is ready to perform right out of the package and it able to be cut down to the perfect size. The belt buckles are made of high quality metal and are very sturdy. The straps are stitched very nicely and precise. You can tell that these belts are made with care. Overall, I cannot say enough (good things) about KORE's product. I would highly recommend KORE ESSENTIALS!

These guys make the best belts ever. I got their black tactical belt with the X6 black buckle. This is by far the best belt I have ever purchased for every day wear and most importantly for every day carry. Everything about this belt & buckle shows great craftsmanship and attention to detail. This belt is sturdy and well-engineered; the hidden track system for closure is genius. Even the instructions are a class act. I am truly impressed and will be a customer for life. You will not find a better EDC belt anywhere.

It's true these Kore belts are superior design and quality. I just received my second one and its great. I started with their Casual Nylon Belt and it beat all my expectations, so I ordered a second belt in Leather. The 'Buckle' is very high quality and I love the ratchet design and look! It's a standout company.
