Kore Essentials 1.5" Competition Belt
Kore Essentials 1.5" Competition Belt
The world’s first micro-adjustable competition-shooters belt. Simply put, this is the best fitting, best built competition belt you’ll ever wear.
Perfect for USPSA and IPSC events. However, Kore's competition belt (outer belt & inner belt) is not permissible for IDPA matches. IDPA regulations require that belts pass through at least 2 belt loops. In this case we recommend using just the stiff 1.5" outer belt, which can feed through 2 or more belt loops, or Kore Essentials 1.5" EDC/CCW Belts.

Sizing Instructions
To trim your Battle Belt, Competition Belt or Executive-Protection Belt to size, follow the instructions or video below.
1. Size Outer Belt Line up the measuring tape next to the outer belt, find pant size on measuring tape & cut on the mark. For example, if your pant size is 36", cut the outer belt at the 36" mark.
2. Size Inner Velcro Belt Line up the measuring tape next to the inner belt, find pant size on measuring tape, subtract 1" & cut the inner belt at the mark. For example, if your pant size is 36", cut the inner belt at the 35" mark.
3. Attach Buckle to Outer Belt Back out (don't remove) the 2 set screws on the back of the buckle, insert the cut end of the outer belt into the buckle receptacle, clamp teeth down firmly & gently tighten the set screws until flush. Do not over tighten or force the set screws.
4. Try Belts on for Size First, feed inner belt through your belt loops, attach the 2 velcro sides of the inner belt & center the hex material section over your zipper. There should not be any velcro belt visible behind the 4" hex material section. If there is, remove & trim off that amount.
Next, place the buckle on the right edge of the hex material section & attach the outer belt around your waist overtop the inner belt. Feed the tip of the belt through the buckle & pull snug. Use the included tip keeper to secure the tip of the belt.
5. Final Step If you can't make your belt tight enough, it's too long. Remove the outer belt & buckle, then cut an inch at a time until ideal fit is reached. Last, singe or trim excess fibres from the cut end of
the inner velcro belt & attach metal clip to the cut end of the inner belt.
*If you accidentally remove the screws entirely, ensure they're reinserted correctly by turning them counter clockwise until you feel a click. This is the screw's thread seating correctly. Then, begin to tighten the screws normally.
Battle Belt Setup Tip: Bend the outer belt slightly backward to open up MOLLE for easy gear installation.
Let customers speak for us
from 83 reviewsAfter speaking with Airbourne Customs to confirm that my model would fit their holster and taking their advise on the best holster mounting,I placed my order.
The holster is a great fit and feels very natural to remove and holster without looking for the opening.
I would recommend Airbourne Customs to anyone who is having trouble finding a good fit for their model.
Works very well.
Exactly as Described. Strong and secure with great range of adjustment.
Great bit of Kit.
Works well with the Holster Rig, with the right amount of drop for a clean draw.
Great piece of Kit !
Excellent Fit to standard 1911 Magazines.
Well manufactured product to exacting tolerances.
Very Happy!
The holster is exactly as described ! Manufactured using quality materials. Fits my 1911 perfectly. The Tek-Mount Reciever and Disk ensure proper alignment and cant for drawing and re-holstering with zero movement !
Very happy with my airborne customs holster, it is very well made and my steth arms platapus fits great. The adjustable retention works well. Awesome to see a top quality product that's made in Australia 👍👍👍👍👍

Perfect fit
As a LEO for nearly 18 years, this is truly the best belt I have owned. It is sturdy, keeps my equipment secure (and does NOT shift) when chasing crooks and jumping fences. Highly recommend this product. Will purchase another Kore Belt (Tactical) for specific duties. Thank you Airborne Customs for the great service and fast delivery to Australia
Australian made (Canberra) - well made and performs perfectly - very happy with it. Not cheap but worth the money.
A smart perfect fit
Awesome gear, great people and Australian made. What more can I say. Support these guys!
Great product fits perfect and fast postage
This little beauty is the thing you want, not the thing you need. Perfect for a can of Monster on a range day when safety sup’ing. Now they just need a version to hold a lifeventure brew mug and I’d be set for the next field ex as well. Perfect for pissing the RSM off a week into Ex TS.
