Kore Essentials

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.

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!

I have 8 years of military and 20 years of law enforcement service. I have worn duty belts and conceal carried weapons and gear for the majority of my adult life. The kore belt and ratcheting buckle are a huge leap forward over any other belt I have worn. It gives the support and weight distribution of a 1.75 inch duty belt in a concealed carry belt. I regularly carry a Glock 20 and 34 concealed and this belt spreads the weight so effectively I forget they are there. The ratcheting buckle allows you to make minor adjustments during the day while standing, sitting and driving. These adjustments keep your weapon concealed and your back comfortable. This belt is highly recommended by me.

I don't do reviews unless a product proves outstanding... and here I am, of all the things, reviewing a belt. I've purchased many leather belts in my life, and one of them that I thought would be my last I've worn almost daily for more than twenty years. Well, I've abandoned all the other belts I own since purchasing my first Kore belt a few months ago. I love the discreet and easy adjustments after a full meal, or body transitions from seating/standing, or unusual body working positions, etc. The secure retention of the adjustment mechanism is excellent. The belt does not slip or slide around the waist. The belt and buckle are of high quality and finish. I really like the price point on these belts and feel it's an excellent value. Sometimes one comes across a product so outstanding that loving it cannot be helped - this is one of those products! All belts (not just gun belts) aspire to be a Kore quality belt. No doubt I'll be adding more Kore belts to match my wardrobe. Bravo to Kore.

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!

I purchased the Kore X5 belt in August of 2020 and have worn it every day since receiving it. My EDC is meant to be just that and I want performance and to have confidence in my rig. I carry IWB with two extra mags OWB and this belt keeps it secure and comfortable. It's easy to adjust the tension and the belt is built to last. It is a thumbs up from me.

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!

SHIPPING AND RECEIVING GREAT
Took only 4 days to ship with the least expensive shipping cost and got to me on a Saturday. Belt lives up to the reputation everyone says obviously genuine reviews now that I have the belt in my hands not paid to say good things about it. Buckle is very easy to put on less than 3 minutes only needing my own pair of scissors to cut the belt to my length. Only needs to hold up long term for me now which I am positive it will from everything else ive seen on these brand belt.

First of all I am an admitted leather belt snob. I have spent a fortune on belts over the years and I was skeptical when a friend told me about this. After losing quite a bit of weight I found myself unable to properly adjust my traditional belt. It was either too tight or too loose and when out in public my pants would sag or it would have to be so tight it was uncomfortable. I found myself needing to adjust the old style belt quite often, which is hard to do in public without looking like some kind of perv. There was just no happy medium. This product solves all that, and I think it is phenomenal. When seated, the belt can be loosened and discreetly tightened a few clicks when walking or standing. It has the proper stiffness a gun belt needs to support the weight of equipment, and yet it is not as thick as many of my other belts which has caused problems with threading through holster belt loops etc. It is also quite comfortable. I especially appreciate the fact that it is sold in one long length and is easily cut to accommodate any sized waist without needing a degree in engineering to order the correct size. This product is a winner and I foresee buying more from this company. It takes a lot to impress me, but they have done just that.

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.

I don't have much experience with gun belts, but these are indeed great, they are as advertised and very comfortable. I wear mine all day everyday. Kore does a great job.

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.

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!

Great online service and Love the belt and adjusting system! I was amazed how Kore kept me informed all along the process. And quick shipping too. A definite recommend.

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.

Awesome belt from an outstanding company! Fast shipping, and great quality. Highly recommended them to anyone looking for a great gun belt at an even better price point.

Awesome product and great company. The belt is extremely comfortable and could not support a firearm better. Extreme friendly and helpful staff. I can't recommend this company enough

Absolutely amazing. I ordered 2 of their belts and they shipped within hours and were received within 2 days. They are sturdy, comfortable, and look great. I will be buying more.

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.
