Kore Essentials X1 Gun Belt

The Kore Essentials X1 uses a ratchet track system instead of traditional belt holes, allowing 1/4-inch micro-adjustments across 40+ size positions. This precision matters for concealed carry: the difference between a belt that's slightly too loose (holster sags, prints) and one that's dialed in for your exact waist circumference. The system is especially valuable for appendix carry where even small shifts in belt tension affect comfort and concealment.

The reinforced nylon construction uses a polymer core strip sandwiched between two layers of nylon webbing, providing the vertical stiffness needed to support an IWB holster and loaded pistol (typically 2-3 lbs) without sagging or rolling over. The belt passes through standard 1.5-inch holster loops and clips. The X1's zinc alloy buckle includes a spring-loaded release tab that's intuitive to operate even under stress.

At $55-65, the X1 hits a price point where you get meaningful function (micro-adjustment) without premium pricing. The track system does mean you can't trim the belt if you lose weight - you simply use more of the ratchet range. Kore backs the belt with a lifetime guarantee.
