terrydoc Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Only new I think, I got one of their Battle belts last year and an extra inner belt to use with my DAA Lynx with the ratchet. Had I seen this I would have jumped on it. Edited September 14, 2023 by terrydoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Interesting. I like their buckle adjustment but wonder how stiff or thick the belt is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very stiff, not too thick though. (Sounds very wrong, I know) One of the guys at our local match just got one and was showing it off. With the belt off, he was holding the back and keeping the rest level while it had a Stock 2 in the holster and mags in the pouches.

Matt1911 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I have one of their tactical gun belts I use for CC. Sometimes it’s too stiff for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as I want my boss hanger and daa pouches to not wiggle if the belt is too thin in thickness vs my daa belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t study the thickness, but I don’t recall it being noticeably thicker than my CR Speed belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s .200 thick and if I squeeze the calipers it’s .195. My shooters connection belt is .270 and the Boss hanger still has .125 to squeeze down on it.

rowdyb Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I have a kore edc belt as well and like it. i had the daa lynx belt and didnt like it. with the advent of half links and ratchets maybe i would have.... my biggest hopes for the kore competition belt is moving my gear and having it all still fit solid, and the adjustment ability of the kore ratchet vs just pulling velcro tighter.

I have the NEX belt of similar design for my EDC belt I really like it. Waiting on your review of this competition kore to decide to pull trigger on one.

rowdyb Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I looked to see if anyone else had done a review of this specific belt and could not find it. Lots of them about their battle belt, but not the competition one. Probably the steep price scaring people away from taking a gamble on it.

rowdyb Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 your tldr, it's like a cr speed belt with a ratchet and takes a few minutes to set up. now just a stream of conscious observations I wear a 30" pant or sometimes 31". I originally did mine for 31 and ended up redoing the sizing for 30 inches. they say you can cut the belts with scissors to size them, i used diagonal cutters. the inner and outer belt are almost the exact same thickness. the outer belt measured 0.24", compared to a daa premium measuring 0.40 the set up isn't really ambidextrous due to the buckle design. i used a "regular' keeper from another belt for the tail. it feels about the same stiffness as a cr speed belt. so not the stiffest but better than a regular single bet for sure. the inner belt part that can be shortened must be worn in the same place as the buckle for it to work right. i wear my usual double belts with the inner belt overlapped in the back and the outer in the front. not so here. it takes some time to set up, especially if you're like me and you don't trust the directions and are afraid of cutting it too short, so it took me a while. i only utilized their printed instructions, not anything online or in video form. my boss hanger and daa racemaster pouches mounted up perfectly. I did move things about 1/4" forward because of the smaller circumference I could acheive. but i am still running stuff at my hipbones... you can make it far tighter around your waist than any regular double velcro belt. is it a 126 dollar belt? i don't know. if you bought a ratchet kit, the kore inner belt and converted a belt you already have would you be ahead? I don't know... especially if that type of conversion is out of your skill set. I used it in a live fire session at the range today, one heavily focused on movement. the belt was completely unnoticeable, which is perfect for new gear. I am going ot use it in the AR section match this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydoc Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I use my battle belt version reversed which is fine but I see the comp belt is logoéd so that would look the best. It just means the lever is at the top rather than the bottom. Will be interested to see how it goes. Edited September 23, 2023 by terrydoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I have the Kore inner belt. I like that it doesn't bunch up when I ratchet my ELS belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I wore it at the AR section match this weekend. Shadow 2, Prod set up. You can tell it is not as laterally stiff as other belts. But I liked it much better how it could tighten exactly how I want and sit where I want on my hips/waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydoc Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 paired with their inner belt I reckon its a great option, not as stiff and rigid as the Lynx but very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
