    Have you had a failure with one of these or pure speculation ? I have one with no signsnof wear as an edc. Reminds me of comments on the first polymer handguns.

    I wear a Kore belt every day. I told my brother about it and he’s since purchased a couple. I’ll never go back to the coarse adjustment you get with a traditional belt.

    Nice to see feedback from someone else that has used the op's product.

    I’ve been using the same Aker leather CCW belt for about 7 years now. It has a poly liner to make it rigid, but it still looks like a casual dress belt. Heavy solid brass hardware, and a snap-loop end so you can change the belt buckle (I prefer western style buckles). I have one hole I use for going gunless or OWB, and the next looser hole for IWB days. Works perfect. It’s the only belt I wear anymore (aside from uniform days), still looking good and holding up great. Around $45.

    A couple years ago I got a bunch of those from 5.11 they made them that style for something like 2 bucks each. I gave one to my dad, I blew out two of the poly inner linners, leather held up but liner blew out at the belt notches in about 1 years time each belt.

    Down to my last good one.

    I think original MSRP was not low enough if i bought it from 5.11 to blow out in a year.

    I would expect them to last 6-7-8 years like other good belts.

    Im going to step it up on next belt purchase, go more top shelf.

    Mine in particular doesn’t have a liner by the holes. It stops about an inch shy of the first hole, and then continues to about an inch shy of the snaps on the end. At first I was disappointed, but after years of use I can see how having a liner in that area would be an issue.

    If you have doubts about durability, some of the companies selling this type of belt have lifetime guarantees. I'm not surprised there are differences in quality between brands. I haven't worn one of my Wilderness belts since I picked one up at Cabelas.

    How many pounds of pressure will it handle before stripping it's teeth.

    Don't know and don't care enough to look it up. I can tighten more than is comfortable. Mine works for me, holds my gut and gun up. Shows no signs of wear. Not asking for more than that. Not planning on towing a car or rapelling with it, if I need to do that I will break the Wilderness Trainer back out.
