#1 con of ratchet belts: girls have no idea how to unbuckle them, which can negatively affect mood

Thanks for making the video, just ordered my 1st KORE Ratchet Belt

Ratchet belts used to be available in the local market here(india) back in 2007-08. I used to own them to wear with my school uniform. I found it funny when way later i started watching these men's fashion YouTube channels and saw them talking about anson belts and their track system as some 2017 invention

Got a Kore mens dress belt and really loved it. Not going back to traditional belts with holes. The adjustment is so precise to your liking. The quality is superb and seems like it will last for a long time.

My KORE Essentials belt EXCEEDED my expectations! I purchased a cheaper style belt from another retailer, to compare, and lets just say there is NO comparison. You get what you pay for and the quality of this KORE Essentials belt speaks volumes. Great belts.

Very informative video. I just received my ratchet belt . I ordered a pair from Amazon...one for my dad. It was on sale, I got them both for about $22. I just cut it, put it together, tried it on and I'm loving it so far. Though I haven't "field tested it yet" , it just feels right, makes sense and is way more convenient .

Over the past year I purchased five Kore belts....two leather gun belts in black and tan, a black tactical nylon, one regular in black and the tan nylon tactical belt. They are nearly indestructible and I really like their infinite adjustability.

I just got a second Kore belt, I had to have one in brown. First one I got in black and have worn it for two years now and would have to say it's the best belt I have ever had. It looks like it did the first day I put it on and I love all the adjustment it has. Get one you won't regret it.

I've been wearing the same Kore belt for 6 years straight. I bought mine back in June 2013 when they just launched the company on Kickstarter. It's the Evolve stainless buckle and black full-grain leather belt and I've been wearing it ever since. Never looked back. The belt finally began looking worn out so I ordered a new leather belt a couple of week's ago but kept my original buckle cause it still works good and looks great. But man... that original belt really held up with a lot of abuse! Can't recommend highly enough!

I have 3 Anson belts which are fantastic, one of the best purchase i have made! I can hang my belts on a regular hanger fine. I just put the metal belt loop that sits next to the buckle over the hanger and it sits like any other belt, no damage ever done.

I love ratchet belts. I do agree they are not easy to store vertically. For a much cheaper belt with infinite adjustment, you can look at web belts! Thanks for the video.

Great video! Now I just have to find a way to get my Kore Essential belts of choice to India haha

[staceycfe]

I love Kore ratcheting belts. I just purchased one and it's off the hook. The quality and style is great. I’ll never have to buy any other belts...that’s for sure.

[tommytaylor]

I have Kore belts in black and gray. Belts are full grain and buckles real solid stainless steel. I've owned a few of these other belts and I agree with you the Kore are definitely the best in my opinion.

[douglasphillips]

Love the Kore belts especially the leather EDC . Kore sells there own hangers that are well worth $2.95 . Great review.

[fpav]

I now own 7 Kore belts. They are very well made belts and superior to the old holed belts I used to wear. I wish I found Kore belts years ago. I've had 2 of them for 2 years and they still look new. No wear on them yet!

[garyseaton]

I've purchased a number of belts in my years, but nothing as good as the ones I have from Kore Essentials. I have 2 of the leather belts and 2 interchangeable buckles, plus slick belt hanger and Love 'em all !

Very similar to the belt I wore in the Air Force. It held in place just by pressure. The ratchet seems like an improvement. After watching your video I ordered one and am anxious for it's arrival. Thank you for the informative video.
