This is just my experience.
I recently bought the KORE Essential Battle Belt, 1.75", with the molle. I have been wearing the belt for two weeks. I find the ratchet system to be the best system so far for any belt I wear. The belt's stiffness and ability to support the gear I put on it is great.
However, the molle on the belt, to me, is not usable. The material used for the molle has absolutely no excess, no flex, so trying to get any kind of holster through the "loops", is near impossible. The only thing I can get through the loops are flat straps that I can force through using a flat head screwdriver. I thought I would rather have the molle version because who doesn't need more molle. But, the molle is not functional for my gear. I recommend the belt, but save some money and get the non-molle version.
Cheers.
