Kore Essentials EDC Belt

[Donny1]

The belt is awesome, much better than a regular belt but in only 6-7 moths the finish is wearing off the buckle. $100 for 2 belts and a buckle seems like a lot for something made in China. I though they were made here, silly me

I have three. The only one with buckle blemishes was when I was squeezing through a super-narrow area and scuffed it on a cinder block wall. They last for YEARS.

Like everything else they found a way to cut corners to save a few cents.

I own their X6 and it's pretty comfortable with unmistakable support for appendix folks. The price seemed a bit steep at first but I'm hoping it's not something I'll have to replace anytime soon; guess we'll wait and see.

To their credit they are sending me a replacement buckle.

My experience with Chinese products is they will gladly send a replacement because they pay almost nothing for it and the markup is huge. Still making a huge profit even with a massive number of returns. Plus, most people won't even complain so they get the snowflake incentive.

I've had mine for a few months and the finish is rubbing off on mine. Was thinking of spray painting ,but maybe a replacement is in order.
