I asked Kore about that issue due to their reported stiffness and having the “kink” due to how my holsters and other pancake style holsters function. They unsurprisingly claimed they hadn’t had any issues reported.

That is the belt attachment. It’s the same on both. I have not yet removed that little thing to expand for the wider belt.

For jeans and most tactical pants the belt loops are big enough to handle the wider belt. I do't have any experience with the garrison belt. My 1-1/2" Kore belt is more than sufficient for carrying my CZ SP-01 and two mags.

I would imagine that if it is anything like the other Kore products you will be happy.

Thanks for the input.

So far I am very pleased. I'm not considering the 1.75" belt just for extra support. The main reason I'm thinking about it is because I've noticed a little bit of vertical slop in the holster and mag carrier. Especially the mag carrier, which will accommodate a 1.75 belt and mostly eliminate the slop. The issue is that for both holsters, Safariland, I would have to remove a little piece to accommodate the wider belt and I think the tiny bit of slop would still be there. It would eliminate the slop on the mag carrier without much change for the handgun holster except for increased support.

Belt loops are not an issue on any of the pants/jean I have.

I got tired of switching between the to tight and to loose holes in my old belt.

I've had my two Kore Essentials belts for a year with no issues. My younger brother received his last week and it seems to be a little thicker than mine.

These are the only belts I wear. I carry my S&W M&P M2.0 9mm 5inch openly in a Safariland ALS holster with two extra magazines and other things. One of my belts is black and the other is brown. I wear the black one primarily. I wore the brown one so rarely that I gave it to my father.

This picture shows my EDC on the brown belt.

Do you were that rig as your pants belt too or over your pants belt as a gun belt only?
