Great review man. This is the first longer form review I've seen on KZread. Thank you! It truly is made for ultimate comfort. Just to comment on the price point, this belt is produced and manufactured in the United States by local businesses. It could be similarly priced to the common EDC belts on the market but I will not outsource this to China or any other foregin country. I want the people in our communities to grow and prosper.

Glad you enjoyed the review, you designed a phenomenal belt. Thank you for shedding some light on the pricepoint. That was my assumption, but it's good to know for sure.

The key that I think a lot of people don’t realize with the Kore belt is you skip a belt loop over and you put that buckle off to the side. It would never be centered because that’s exactly where your clip would go for your holster when you apendix carry. It doesn’t print that way and it’s more comfortable.

Excellent that you actually showed it being worn, many belt reviewers do not and its annoying. This is probably the best for cc but for other gear no substitute for Kore....🇺🇸✊

This belt is awesome. I actually use this as a similar way to the Phlster enigma inside the waistband appendix on patrol for my backup gun and if I wear shorts or sweatpants as well. Unlike the enigma, this allows multiple firearms to be carried and isnt dependent on one particular firearm holster connected to the enigma portion. Along with utilizing concealed carry principles and using foam wedges, this makes it my go to. It’s easy on, easy off and comfortable to carry

Great review! I also had the same thought process as you as I was using a Nexbelt and it is extremely comfortable because of the flexibility of the ratcheting system. The only annoyance being the buckle pressing into my hip while carrying a full size HK P30L. The first time I put the EDC-S belt on I was completely blown away. I almost feel more comfortable with it on than off. It is hands down the most comfortable belt I have ever worn. I will just have to wait some time to see if it is durable as well.

1:21 that’s how I felt after spending $80+ for stout recoil. I’d invest that in simple getting a porting package done by monsoon tactical if you want your sight picture/point of aim / whatever you’d like to say to shoot sooner ,you’ll actually FEEL a noticeable difference in recoil .

Watched a number of your videos recently as I look to upgrade my EDC kit, I have an Axis Elite and this belt (from HC directly rather than T1C) on the way as a result. Im not quite your build, but I am tall and skinny and was happy to hear your feedback and success with the setup. I also have a more discreet belt from Mastermind Tactics coming at the same time, to compare the 'loopless' experience. If you havent already I would love to see your thoughts on the 'pillow' wedge they make.

Definitely pros and cons for both but, ZERO is still the better value by a small margin. The ease of adjustability and putting on/taking off the belt, the seemingly perfect balance between flexibility and rigidity, and the price is what gives it the top spot IMO. HC belt has the advantage in terms of sturdiness on the front and complete flex on the back (better comfort) but getting through belt loops is annoying and the price is hard to justify with many options out there. If you are new to CCW and don’t have a belt, HC is the way. If you already own multiple belts and are looking for comfort and simplicity, go ZERO. Going forward I plan on using the HC for long periods where changing clothes/outfits is not a consideration, and the ZERO for when I need to be quick about getting ready or plan to change clothes throughout the day. Good luck folks!🤙🏽

I got mine today. Been using a kore belt for about 2-3 years and I was getting tired of the buckle. It sucks for appendix. This belt is basically a kore essentials and groove life had a baby and the baby was an athlete. I cringed at the price of this thing but if it holds up and stands the test of time it’s definitely worth the price. We’re going to start seeing the knock offs coming soon. I think it’s as good as you say it is also. Like I said the only thing that can change that is if for some reason the elastic portion wears out faster than it should.

I was excited about the concept, but not how it attaches. You are right, the Kore is going to be a bit heavier and a bit harder but nothing beats 40 small ratcheting teeth, vs three loops.

I have not, but I’ve heard great things. It seems like this belt excels at comfort whereas the Tenicor belt is a great minimalist option.

Expensive for what it is. Looks promising though if they ever put them on sale. I also carry a C2 with a X300 daily.

@Nightwood Guns For sure, it is a bit flimsy. When I carry my P10C it can get a little droop. With my shield plus it's comfy. I have a nexbelt and find it to be horribly uncomfortable, prints a lot, and doesnt seat my holsters well. I'm going to try this tier 1 eventually.

Would you like the stiff portion of this belt to a nex belt level of stiffness?

What's the design of these kinds of belt called. I've seen one similar at much cheaper price but could not find it again.

Definitely post an update on the durability of the elastic over time. I am currently working with a blue alpha hybrid EDC belt and I love it. Idk if I want to spent a total of $130 for a belt when I can get one for $75 from blue alpha

Belt is excellent. I agree with the review for the most part. Immediately feels better than the Kore. Movement of the holster due to physical activity is the biggest downside, but its not a deal breaker.

Did you ever make a 1-year update video? I'd be interested to see if the elastic and hook system has held up over time before dropping this much money and then finding out he's updating the design to fix problems that have shown up.

Lol! It’s definitely not as convenient as the Nexbelt or Kore, but is sure is comfy. 100% a trade-off. T1C knows what’s good 😂

Are the edges of the hook rough/sharp? I think one of my concerns would be over time the hook wearing through the loops. Despite this concern, I just purchased one as they’re finally back in stock.

@NightwoodGuns

Жыл бұрын

I had the same concerns. No signs of wear yet, but I’m keeping an eye on it. The hook is pretty well finished without any rough or sharp edges, so it should be fine. It’s been 100% for me this whole time. 👍

I have the T1C x KORE - EDC Belt and love it, do you think this is better?

@NightwoodGuns

Жыл бұрын

It’s not better, it’s just different. It serves a different purpose. It sacrifices the convenience (and a little bit of stability) in favor of comfort. I find myself wearing my T1C x KORE belt often still just for the convenience of the ratchet system. If comfort is your number one priority, the belt in this video is the way to go.

I'm curious how strong is the stretchy part? The only hesitation I have on this belt is will it tighten down if I want it to. I've been hoping someone would make this same belt style but in leather instead of the stretchy material.

@NightwoodGuns

Жыл бұрын

Stretchy part is super strong and overbuilt. I crank it down pretty tight. We’ll see how it holds up over time, but so far so good 👍 It would be cool to see a padded leather backing on a belt like this.

Where does the adjustable part of the buckle sit when the belt is on? Does it ever cause discomfort when sitting in a car?

@NightwoodGuns

Жыл бұрын

It sits on my side or just in front of my hip. I don’t notice it while sitting in the car, but your mileage may vary. It is very low profile.

I’m currently using the Nexbelt Supreme appendix carry belt. It doesn’t have bulge of the kore belts buckle.

Can you wear this on gym shorts and things without belt loops? I read it can and was just curious from your personal experience. That would be game changer and a big selling point to buy.

I would say that you probably could in a pinch, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Since nothing anchors it to your body, the whole belt could slide up your body on the draw. The only carry method I recommend with gym shorts/no belt loops is the Phlster Enigma.
