Kore Essentials 2.25" Duty Belt [Outer Belt Only, No Buckle or Inner Belt]

A duty belt that adjusts with you through the whole shift. This is the 2.25" Kore Essentials duty outer belt by itself, no buckle or inner belt. It's built for law enforcement, military and security professionals: the patented dual belt track lets you fine-tune the fit in 1/4" steps without taking the belt off, even when it's loaded with gear. Find inner belts and keepers with our Kore straps, inner belts and keepers.

Features

• Patented dual belt track: over 20 size positions in 1/4" steps; adjust on the go without removing the belt.
• Up to 30 lbs load rating: carries a full duty load: radio, flashlight, handcuffs, baton, spray and more.
• Power-Core™ reinforced center: added stiffness and support so a heavy belt holds its shape.
• 2.25" wide, 7 mm thick: standard duty width with a hook backing that attaches to the Kore loop inner belt.
• Armortek Leather™ or nylon: Armortek is a man-made super-fiber Kore engineered to outlast leather; the Nylon Black finish uses nylon webbing.
• Assembled in the USA: Kore assembles its duty belts in the USA with imported materials.

How to choose

• Finish: Plain Black, Basketweave and High Gloss are Armortek leather finishes to match your uniform standard; Nylon Black is nylon webbing.
• Size: Regular (24"-48") or XL (48"-60"), chosen by your waist. See the steps below.
• Buckle and inner belt: not included. This belt works only with Kore D1 and D2 duty buckles (not G-Series, X-Series, Western or fashion buckles) and must be used with a Kore inner belt for the micro-adjust feature. Shop Kore belt buckles.

Sizing: measure before you cut

Use the Kore sizing tape as a cutting guide only. Lay it next to the belt; don't wrap it around your waist. Always cut from the end opposite the track or flex section.

1. Cut the outer belt at your pant size. Example: a 36" pant size cuts at the 36" mark.
2. Cut the inner belt at your pant size minus 1 inch. Example: a 36" pant size cuts at 35".
3. Attach the buckle. Loosen the set screws, push the cut end of the outer belt fully into the buckle and close the teeth clamp completely before you gently tighten the screws flush. Don't overtighten.
4. Try it on. Run the inner belt through your belt loops, close the hook-and-loop ends and center the 4" flex section over your zipper. If hook-and-loop shows behind the flex section, trim the extra. Lay the outer belt over the inner with the buckle at the right edge of the flex section, ratchet it snug and tuck the tip under the tip keeper.
5. Fine-tune. If the outer belt won't tighten enough, trim 1 inch at a time until it fits. Once the fit is right, put the metal clip tip on the cut end of the inner belt.

If your pant size is close to the top of the size range, do not cut. Try the belt on first, then trim.

Cut belts can't be returned or exchanged, so measure twice and cut once. See our return policy.
