I bought my Kore belt about 2 years ago on Yankee’s recommendation. The belt still works well, my only issue I had was one of the rivets busted on the buckle. I sent an email asking if I could send the buckle to have it repaired, and they just sent me a new one.
Good company for me.
I don’t know why you think they’re a bad company. The only reason the buckle broke on me was because I brought 250 lbs onto one rivet. Not the belt’s fault whatsoever.
And if you want leather, then get it! They got leather as an option, as well. It doesn’t hold up as much as the nylon belts but they work well.
Since I work for KORE, I can honestly tell you, they suck!
@@Koreessentialsbrand Don't let this guy fool you, the biggest joke amongst all the employees, We used to call the company, ROTTEN TO THE KORE, behind their backs of course....
I worked for them for about 6 months, and what a cheap azz company...
Kore is amazing... Fully behind them. Amazing company, amazing service. Can't say enough good things about them.
My kore belt has kept my EDC CZ 75 SP01 up and in place since last December. I love it and carry way to much because of it!
They don’t have a white belt to match my white shoes which s required wear once you start collecting social security and move to Florida!
Let me guess, stainless 1911 with pearl grips, too?
New Balance?
@@DeAthWaGer Almost. Chromed with ivory,
Let me touch!!!
@@grumpyoldphart7325 Yeah, guess it better be extra shiny for those inevidable cataracts. Can't be fumblin' around searching for it.
I agree. Both the nylon and leather gun belts work great!
I own 4 of these belts and they are fantastic. I no longer use regular belts anymore. Nylon and leather. An amazing product
I have one. It was a huge improvement over my cheap leather belt. As bonus, it makes an awesome work belt.
Thanks to Yankee Marshall for the awesome review of our KORE Trakline Gun Belts! About 3 years ago we UPGRADED all our EDC leather belts and tactical gun belts dramatically. We added a proprietary Power-Core Center that offers plenty of support, total flexibility for comfort and it's UNBREAKABLE. It's stronger than a steel core belt but more comfortable. We also beefed up our gun buckles, adding a lot more styles and set screws to lock the belt to buckle. And check out our New 1.75" wide micro adjustable Garrison Range Belt, for the range, training and heavier loads. Visit our site at www.KoreEssentials.com
I have three Kore Essential track-line gun belts that I've used for a few years now. Love them all! (Gave one to my wife as a gift about a year ago and she loves it as well!)
I bought a Kore black nylon belt just over a month ago. I traded for an S&W 627 8-shot Performance Center. The trade included a relatively unused Galco Combat Master holster. Anyway, the Kore belt has supported tje N-frame quite well. I bought this one from a local store, but might eventually order a Kore leather belt .
I have to agree. I've been using Trakline belts for a few years now. Own 4 belts, and a few spare buckles. Best CCW belt, ever!
Agree, Trakline beats Rotten to the Kore all to hell!
Can vouch for these belts without hesitation for carry. Very sturdy and still comfortable.
I bought one based off a previous Yankee video and still have it. Kore makes great gun belts!
I bought 3 Kore Essentials Tactical Belts. Easy to understand instructions on assembling the belt. Well made at a great price! Very easy to size and adjust. Works great with my inside the waistband holsters. Kore belts are comfortable to wear even without a holster. Holds my holster very secure. Really like the small increments for sizing. You can let it out a bit or tighten to suit different situations. Perfect!
I own 2 Kore gun belts and to me they are hands down the best OWB carry belts you can have, expecially with heavier guns. I actually have a holster permanently mounted on one of them, so I can just quickly put in on over my clothes (like a gun slinger) in an emergency. Another good option is Nexbelt. They work similar to the Kore belts. I mostly wear the Nexbelt. The Nexbelt isn't as stiff as the Kore, so it is more comfortable and looks better with shorts, and it is stiff enough for IWB carry, but it is a compromise compared to the Kore.
Kore belts are awesome - bought one in about 2016 and the belt actually outlasted the buckle. The buckle failed almost 3.5 years in with the locking/release mechanism. Got a new buckle and still have the belt today. They really are the best belts for your money.
Hells yeah my dude, that's the same belt Ive been using. Kore belts are amazing and I love the track system's comfortability.
chEErs
I bought my first Kore belt about a week before the first time I heard you talk about them late one night in a GC lobby chat. I recently had to replace the strap for that first belt and ordered a second one. I now have one leather one and one nylon one. They are great belts, they hold up to a lot of weight.
I finally got one after years of holding off. I usually wear a ares aegis enhanced for work, and a blue alpha gear for normal street clothing/casual dress. I like how this kore tracline falls right in between. It's not super thick and stiff like the ares, but more rigid than the blue alpha gear. All my belt are "infinitely adjustable", but this one is more convenient. You can discreetly pinch the tab and release the tension when sitting down, and also discreetly tighten it when you stand up and need to conceal more. Great belt, and now it's my favorite.if you carry all the time like myself, reward yourself by getting this belt. It makes life more convenient.
Love mine. The first order came with a scratched buckle which they promptly replaced. I haven't used any other (and I've tried a few) since day one about six years ago (probably seven) alternating the black and brown leather. I recently ordered a leather and nylon bundle. If you're getting or have more than one the belt hanger is a great accessory.
Haven't seen any new videos on the Yankee doodle in a while. This guy is funny
Wilderness Belts for me are my fav. Last me over 10 years and still going. Made in Phoenix AZ really fantastic belt
Agree, anything but the flimsy KORE!
Love mine, use it for work too to hold my scanner holster, FedEx. I've abuse it a lot for the last 5 yrs.
You nailed this one Yankee. The Kore Trakline Belt is the best belt on the market.
Consider high quality, function, appearance and price. An excellent product manufactured by an excellent company.
I love my Kore belts. I'm a large guy and I was skeptical about them at first, but when I received them, and tried them on, and wore them they worked perfectly and they stayed in place. Very well made and comfortable. I definitely plan to purchase more.
Thanks Yankee Marshall. Your video made me buy that belt. I needed a new one. You sold the belt and all it's features.
I have a gray nylon version..Best belt I ever got for an everyday belt...What it's not good at is other functional uses tactical belts can be used for...Like supporting your weight in a treestand, in a helicopter, or as a tourniquet..The breaking strength on the ratchet of this belt is like 7 pounds...The cobrabelts can hold 2 trucks pulling opposite ways..Not that you need that much strength but I like multi function belts.
Actually Kore belts will hold a 200 lb. man hanging from a tree if you like. We put a small load rating for guns or gear hanging on your waist so that its comfortable. The belts themselves are nylon webbing and very strong.
@@Koreessentialsbrand I must have misunderstood that when I read it on the website..I haven't tested it on anything like that because of it...If it's just a comfortably rating, that is fine for me.
@@50StichesSteel Good to hear and glad you like our belts. Thanks.
Just bought one yesterday at Turners .. blk belt w/ blk buckle . AMAZING ! Don’t even need a holster ! My G26 stays put ! Can’t imagine anyone creating a better belt 😎🤙
I have a Kore belt and really like it, but when I carry in order to stay a fashionable carry dude I get confused with socks and boxers, what should I wear
Kore is a great option since I like to adjust my belt a lot. I have a Hanks belt too thats 10 years old. Its solid but it doesnt adjust well and the leather looks terrible, just worn. They have a long warranty but a 20 year old belt looks old.
Yep. Kore belts are the best. I have a knockoff carhardt belt that didn’t last for shit. I stole my girlfriend’s Kore belt, and it’s so much better! I guess I’ll have to buy one for myself. Great video.
Possibl, but I got a carry belt from bass proshops for about $35 and it is great. Going on about 2 years now. I wear this belt everyday even when I don't carry like at work sometimes. It uses a pass-through buckle and velcro. It is reinforced nylon as well.
Love this belt so much ive gotten 3 of them. Different colors and styles.
I am loving the Groove Belt, sounds goofy, but it is nice.
I bought one of these belts a while back and loved it so much much I decided to buy a couple different colors. They are so comfortable and easy to use for edc.
I wear Drizzte Plus Size 47-83'' Men's Black Nylon Military Tactical Plastic Buckle Belt for 2 years and wear it every day and the belt is still like new and hold my edc nicely.
Just picked up a Kore belt for summer. My groove Life belt works fine for Levis, but it's not quite rigid enough for shorts season. Guess my GL will soon become my backup ;0)
These Kore belts are great belts. They look good, they're very sturdy and easy to adjust. I have several other gun belts. If I had bought this first, it would probably be my only one. I also have the brown leather--excellent as well.
My experience is contrary to yours. Mine lasted about a year a piece. The first one ripped in half. The second one the buckle fell apart, so I used the buckle from the first and then had issues with the belt pulling out of the buckle. The 5.11 Trainer belt is similar in design concept (infinitely adjustable) but is significantly stronger. I believe they’re actually cheaper than the Kore as well.
Sorry to hear. We upgraded all our gun belts about 3 years ago with our newer Power-Core center. It is Unbreakable. And our buckkes are beefier and stronger than ever.
I have a Kore Trakline belt with an extra strap and I have nothing bad to say about them. However, my favorite belt of all time, and which I wear 95% of the time is the Slidebelts Survival Strap paired with their Wide Buckle. Slidebelts offers the full Survival Belt, but the buckle tool kit is not for me. I prefer the plain Wide Buckle but with the same strap, and you have to buy those components separately. It is not as rigid as a holster belt but is acceptably rigid for me, and I have yet to observe any wear. I own six.
Worn it for two years carry everyday belt looks new.
None of my holsters fit the 1.75 inch model. But the 1.5 inch one is awesome and I wear it every day.
Kore trackline belts are great, but be SURE to wear them with the buckle centered in front.
I have a bit of a gut when I sit down, so I like to wear my buckle to the side over my left pocket. This RUINED the trackline very quickly making it very hard to sinch up.
I have had a Grip6 belt for 6 years. It's been a great belt that keeps tight. No holes or mechanics to hold the belt tight.
I use their gun belt as well. It's good.
They are amazing!
I'm at 3 years 6 months and I'm replacing mine going to buy the same belt again before these ones I would go through about a belt every 2 or3 months
I wore a Daltech Biobelt for years and it looked and preformed like the day I bought it but I changed my lifestyle and lost 100+ Lbs and I went with a Kore so I could get a proper fit as I dropped belt sizes. Now that I've settled my weight loss down to a consistent number I'm thinking of getting another Daltech for their ruggedness and comfort.
Have two 🙏🏼
Only belts I wear as well.
My Stiff as hell $8 Propper Belt is just fine.. Primary Arms Sales
Yankee I got on based one of these kore belts based your video here and it actually does live up to the hype for once. Yes folks it is a solid belt that adjsuts really really well so it feels right and I am not impressed easily by nature, just ask my wife.
Upon checking their website, I found that they even have an XL model (only in black tactical, but I'll take it) for those of us of a slightly rounder stature. I couldn't resist the opportunity to try one, so it is now ordered. I can hardly wait for it to arrive. I'm hoping to be able to replace the myriad of other belts that I have, especially working in private security.
I've had a Hanks Belt now for 35 years still going strong
My super bio gun belt is indestructible!
I have a black nylon one with the American flag buckle, have worn it everyday for two years and its still in perfect condition
I accidentally cut mine too short. I only added 2 inches when I should've added 4 or 5. Without the gun it's fine but with the iwb holster it doesn't have much extra.
Ill be honest im new to fire arms, and i wanted leather.. I got a 1791 leather holster for my 1911 with a little retainer on top for the handgun as im open carrying, and i got a double pouch from them for 2 mags.. And i bought a leather belt from an american company called Relentless tactical. Im not worried about the holes stretching open larger, that never affect me on regular leather belts.. and i guess ill find out later if the belt starts sagging with a heavy 1911 on it.
BUT one thing im starting to get annoyed about.. is to take my belt off. I have to un buckle it. then pull it out of one loop on my pants, then SLIDE the entire holster out.. then undo the rest of the belt. then slide the entire pouch out. That friction and heat it creates i imagine will start to wear the leather out on the belt and holster and pouch. And well its kinda annoying. I think, what im going to do is use my normal belt for my pants, and then have this belt over top of it WITHOUT being in the loops of my pants.. This way i can just unbuckle it and the whole thing comes off. But i dunno if that will work, because maybe the belt and gun will jiggle around too much by not being looped in your pants.
I dunno Basically i think i want a DUTY belt i can just unbuckle and take the whole thing off without removing my ammo, and gun holster
I've been wearing a $100 nylon belt for a few years now and it's still good as new. Like everyone else said the buckle is probably the weakest link that will eventually fail. Hopefully not in public... lol. I might try Kore when it does eventually need replaced I supposed.
They definitely will fail. Even on regular belts those locking mechanisms wear out over time. That’s why I like cobra buckles.
I purchased a steel re-inforced, 3 hole, 1 3/4 " .. BULLLHIDE belt 4 yrs ago..carried on belt a 92f..no plastic bullshit...this belt is amazing...not that fanncy..polymer crap people push...and it's comfotable
Thanks for this video
For the lazy: 1:33 Kore Track Line Belt
I use a track line belt from ratchet gun belts. R.G.B. Gun belts are all American made. Made in Cincinnati Ohio. They are more expensive than the kore belts but they are each hand sewn and all American made. They are fully supported though the whole belt. The quality ,fit and finish are top notch. I have had my belt for about 18 months and have not had any problems with it. This is the best carry belt I have ever had. Kore belts are great belts but they are made in China. If you want a nicer American made belt I highly recommend checking out ratchet gun belts.
Sorry to break the news to you Scott but RGB belts are also MADE IN CHINA. Read the small print. There company is in Ohio and they cost about twice as much.
I love my Bigfoot leather belt. I have one of their nylon riggers belt but I don’t like having to take it apart to put them into the belt loops with the cobra buckle.
I have a 5.11 nylon holster and it’s ok. But I think I’ll have to look into kore for a new belt.
I’ve got a leather Bigfoot gun belt as well. I’ve had it for three years now and is still going strong. Unfortunately I’ve gained some weight and im about to outgrow the belt. I’ve been seriously considering a kore.
One you go ratchet you'll never go back.
My Kore belt is ok but the buckle finish is cheap, wears off easy, made in China junk but still works.
I just had to replace my original Kore buckle after more than 2 years because the metal split and broke apart and it wouldn’t hold my belt anymore. They have changed the design of the buckle so I’m hoping this new design lasts longer. The leather is sagging a bit but not enough to cause an issue. Idk if there’s better belts out there but I like the track design so I’m sticking with Kore for now. Maybe I’ll try a nylon belt in the future if the leather gets too bad.
Poor company, Poor support
@@dannydoughboy120 Doughboy works for the competition.
@@Koreessentialsbrand I actually work for KORE BRAND, an this company cuts corners every where they can! They Micromanage you, never let you take breaks, and the owner is a real DIKWAD to say the least. Everybody here are backstabbers, and will throw you under the bus the minute your back is turned! Don't buy nothing from this suck company! I am quitting in about a week! Good riddance to this sleazy company!
@Bongo Fury,. I was the employee that worked on your buckle, and KORE uses cheap material! That is why we got so many complaints!
I have been wearing a Milt Sparks leather belt and a Glock 19 for 15 years with no end in sight.
Talk about timing. I was just thinking I need a new good belt…Walla! I just ordered two
thanks yank
Lol I just ordered a nexbelt
I love the Kore Essentials belts hate the release lever on the buckle.. on the other hand hate the Nexbelt belt itself but love the release lever on the buckle
I agree totally Kore Essentials makes the best all around gun belts for my money for cc. Tell me a belt that adjusts and locks at your exact size, as lots of support, lots of styles and you can interchange them and is priced at $59?? As far as I have seen, there aint anny.
I have a core belt, a little over 1 year old. It is still in ok condition, but not really impressive to me. It has already lost a lot of rigidity.
I’ve been wearing nexbelt for a while, they look pretty similar to these.
I've got a Nextbelt as well. Looks identical right down to the ratchets on the back. It's been an awesome belt so far, had it about 6 months or so and it's still in great shape.
Next Belt made a biden buckle......don't stand for companies that make money off your rights being stripped away
@@christianrodriguez2868 To be fair, they also made a Trump belt but thanks for pointing it out, I was previously unware. Doing political belts wasn't exactly the smartest way to endear customers since both sides would be upset by that.
@@00Klingon that’s true, I just think it’s really weird and disconnected for them to even consider the Biden buckle knowing half of their company is the EDC 😂
@@christianrodriguez2868 I think you are being a little dishonest, they made both a Trump and a Biden buckle for people only during the election. Not just a regular pro-Biden buckle.
I’m getting me one for sure
Just bought a blue alpha seems to be working good still have my kore too.
Got one of these as well... Great belt until someone else is taking it off.... Then they get confused
If you put beeswax in your leather it will be better off
I’ve been wearing the same leather gun belt for 6 or 7 years and love it but I just tried looking at the name brand and it’s wearing off lol. Looks like Minotaur holsters maybe? I can’t find the belt website that says that though, must have went out of business, I remember paying quite a bit for it. I’m ready for a new one.
Good old fashioned Amish work belt.
My initial Kore belt had a reinforcement failure in the small of my back. (I carry @3 o’clock. I bought another Kore because it lasted 4+yrs. it had bends and such. But it was still “usable”
Sorry to hear. We upgraded all our gun belts about 3 years ago with our newer Power-Core center. It is Unbreakable. And our buckkes are beefier and stronger than ever.
@@Koreessentialsbrand I’ve already received the replacement belt. I should have grabbed a buckle for good measure but mine was still good.
More than pleased with the product.
Good belt I on one 🇺🇸👍
Agreed
I've been very happy with my grip6 belt but may have to try one of these put
Do these trackline belts get through airport metal detectors without setting them off? I have a similar belt with a track system, but it's annoying because every time I go through a metal detector it sets it off. And even though I have TSA Pre, I have to take my damned belt off and put it through x-ray.
Usually its standard policy that TSA makes everyone take off any belt no matter whether its metal or not. They want to make sure you're not hiding anything. Our belts would be included in that as they are metal.
@@Koreessentialsbrand Not with TSA Pre
What kegel program did you use to clench the 1911 slide ?
I'm a nexbelt guy
So are you mocking bigger wastes lol.. i mean im 270lbs 6ft.. Im not a 400-500lbs man.. but unfortunatly i have big hips.. always have.. got them from my dad lol. I need a size 48... and thank god most if not all companies make belt sizes up to 52 inchs
Hitchcock45 just released a video talking about how TYM is shilling for belt companies.
I'm only joking but I hope you got some free belts for such a good advertisement for the company. Maybe some to give away with the pistol project. I have a nex belt only because they made it to market with a nylon belt first and I've been really happy
So what's your favorite gun belt ?
You just HAD to show one with a guitar buckle, went right over and ordered it. KORE10 works for 10% off first time purchases.
