The Gunner by Hanks Belts | Long Term Review

This American made belt has lasted the test of time for me. After having it for roughly 3 years, I can attest to the quality of this belt.

i like when people make reviews on stuff theyve actually used and not right out of the box. good job

[@resoluteoutdoors]

Thank you!! The way I see it is if you haven’t actually used it then it isn’t a review it’s an ad.

[@cophater298]

@@resoluteoutdoors great way to put it

[@seancssu]

I love my gunners. Gained a few pounds and passed my 32 to my brother. After a little polish it looks like new. This is the best belt for any young or old man. Rock on Hank’s!!

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I agree 100% they are killer belts!

[@greyscout01]

I bought a black and a brown Hanks belt years ago. They're still solid and awesome. They'll outlast me. Recently bought another just because.

[@MSGBlair]

I have used The Extreme Hanks belt for around 5 years and I still love it. I also recommend going up one size only. I just received The Gunner in and one size up is perfect.

[@nraketh]

Thanks, I appreciate the review. Nice to see someone who has used it for several years and better shows its value. Found you just by searching youtube, after seeing an ad for this on facebook.

[@resoluteoutdoors]

Glad you stopped by to watch the video! They are really amazing belts I were mine almost everyday and it is still going strong!

[@youngjaden9740]

Watched your video and ordered my first gunner. It came in today and sure did not disappoint. Looking forward to its more “wore” look like yours after I wear it for 3 years. Great video, thanks mate!

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I am glad you are happy with the belt! They truly are awesome and long term you will not be disappointed!! They only seem to get better with age. Thank you for watching!!

[@jakeward7831]

Thanks for your review, just got my first EDC and was overwhelmed with belt choices. You made it much easier to digest.

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I am glad it helped!!!

[@ZERO_42069]

Ive had mine 7 years, i love it

[@mjftyler1922]

I’ve been wearing the same belt for 8 yrs and it’s time to replace it. I’m a union laborer and, mostly wear that belt every single day. To make a long story longer, I’ve now entered the rabbit hole of belt shopping and wow things have changed. I’m waiting on an “Amish made” belt currently but after looking more, Hanks is second to none. Your review shows the beauty of an aging belt which is priceless in my book. Something my wife doesn’t understand 🤣. Great review!

[@resoluteoutdoors]

Thank you for the feedback!! A well aged belt is a thing of beauty and longevity. Simple elegance and quality made goods are things that are undervalued in our society. I hope your Amish belt is of good quality.

[@cophater298]

women dont understand buying quality things. they rather buy 100 $1 dollar things

[@WarriorForChristJesus]

I just received my Hanks Gunner Belt in Chestnut. It's the best belt I've ever had.

[@resoluteoutdoors]

They truly are a tank of a belt.

[@donshovestull633]

I work construction for 35 years a good belts is priceless.

[@skowmi5681]

This belt is so well made it will truly last a lifetime. Additionally it could serve well in emergency situations if needed.

[@resoluteoutdoors]

That is very true as well!

[@seancssu]

That’s why I buy the utility gunner that has holes all around it. It can be used to tie a shelter together, to sharpen a knife, as a tourniquet, etc

[@68fastertruck]

Nice review, like Hanks belts, Love Mack Belts .

[@resoluteoutdoors]

Thank you for the support!! I’ve never heard of Mack belts before!

[@bloatedsodium7301]

Would love to see this belt go up against The Mountain Belt from Craft and Lore, both are beasts! Good review, man!

[@resoluteoutdoors]

Thank you!! And I will have to look into that belt I have never heard of it before.

[@scotwells7573]

The Gunner is heavier leather for less money than the Mountain belt.

[@lindsey607]

I own the Woodstock model Hank's belt's. It's fantastic. A bit pricey for a belt, but obviously top tier quality.

[@resoluteoutdoors]

It is pricy but it is truly a worthy investment. I am glad you are happy with it.

[@Darkl0ud_Productions]

Thanks for the video! I have been eying Hank's belts for a while.. Tired of going through walmart specials every year or so. Think I am going to go with the Kydex reinforced model.

[@JoeyChrome]

You can't beat the Hanks belt. Absolutely the best. You don't realize how bad you need it, until you buy it LOL 😆

[@resoluteoutdoors]

They are some of the finest belts I’ve had the pleasure of using.

[@PJMunoz21]

Thank you for the review! Definitely going to try this one out. What color is that?

[@resoluteoutdoors]

Thank you! The color on this one is Chestnut

[@ksajak]

Just ordered my gunner last night I seen a few reviews saying that they ordered their actually size and it fits good on them. We'll see. I ordered a size 32 belt since both 34s I have I'm having it on either the last or 2nd to last hole. So I figure the 32 would be good for me but I'm kind of worried now. We'll see tho. I'm pretty pumped to finally have a nice leather belt! I have a carhartt in black and a timberland in brown and both get the job done but both are pretty flimsy esp the timberland. I hear nothing but great things about hanks belts I really can't wait to try them. I came across 30dollargunbelt after ordering my hanks. I've been trying to figure out if 30dollargunbelts are made differently in a way to make them cheaper but they seem to be good belts. I still like the looks of hanks more tho

[@resoluteoutdoors]

There is enough room in the belt that if it is a little small you could punch a extra hole at the end if needed. You should be fine on sizing. My issue was I went up 2 sizes in hopes that it would give me more options with holsters and other belt worn gear. But, two sizes was too much. As for as 30dollargunbelt I haven’t heard or used them. But I know you will not be disappointed with the hanks. I had other belts before the hanks that were good belts and lasted a long time but none of them was even close to the rigidity of the hanks.

[@ksajak]

@@resoluteoutdoors thank you for the reply. The belt came in but unfortunately it was too small. Had to exchange it so I'm still waiting on it to get here now. For the short time I had it in my possession I can definitely say it's a great looking belt and for sure looks tough! Can't wait to finally have it so I can wear it!

[@resoluteoutdoors]

@@ksajak I am sorry about it being too small. It stinks to have to wait. But, the belt is well worth it!

[@ksajak]

@@resoluteoutdoors got my exchange in today and its still smaller than I expected which is strange. Definitely not the same as my other 2 size 34 belts. I can only fit on the 1st and 2nd hole. On the other 2 I'm on the last 1 or 2. Well I got a text from hanks belts about a $20 off flash sale on any belt so of course I took advantage of that and grabbed myself a 2nd gunner but in black and another size up! So now it should fit perfect! They really are great belts! Just different sizing than I'm used to

[@resoluteoutdoors]

@@ksajak I too had a little difficulty with the sizing. I would preferred a smaller belt but I added a few holes in mine so I’m good to go. Honestly with the quality of the belts, two of them should easily last a lifetime!

[@Morrrk]

Have you ever treated it with the hanks lotion or whatever they call it? Leather cream essentially?

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I have not but I am sure it is good quality judging by the belt!

[@austin9570]

Have you tried the steel core one yet? I'm trying to decide if I should just get the steel core or just the normal one

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I have not tried the steel core. But, with how durable the normal one is I wouldn’t see a need to go to steel core.

[@austin9570]

Sweet thank you

Minősègi derèkszìj. 3.5 cm szèles, 4 mm vastag a szìj? Jòl làtom?

[@asadb1990]

Just saw these at my local goodwill for 5.49 each. They were very oversize which is fine for me to just add new holes as needed. I wanted to buy but has just picked up like 4 shoe tree. Next time i see these i will pick them up. Oh well.

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I would pick them up they are 100% worth it!

[@113caleb]

Just got the new relic belt ordered refund to do a review on it would be fun

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I don’t have any experience with the relic but I looked it up and it looks like a great belt to me!

[@113caleb]

Yea I called them and they have great customer service did my order over the phone yea the belt just came out

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

What color is this belt? Thanks

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I believe this one is chestnut.

[@maxwellhouseranch1004]

@@resoluteoutdoors thank you, I appreciate the response.

[@arncj18]

can you confirm it's 6mm thick?

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I don’t know the exact thickness but this is by far the thickest leather belt I have even seen or used.

[@bryanbaker5942]

If only some of these rappers and hoodlums had a Hanks belt, they could keep their pants from saggin around their asses.

[@resoluteoutdoors]

With a belt like this there is no excuse to have your pants sagging.

[@robertsmith2624]

Oil it

[@resoluteoutdoors]

I do on occasion. I am not as good about it as I should be though…
