Coghlan'sBear Bell with Magnetic Silencer

First rate construction. Very well-made. A great value as well, Less than half price of what a local major outdoor establishment is charging…

bought this for our dog while camping so it would be easyer to hear where he was at. its ok it loud with out being annoyingly loud it matched our dogs shoes well and seems like a quality product. Would buy again for person or dog. The magnet that came with it worked aswell to keep it quiet when not in use.

I got this for my wife almost as a joke but we did use it on a couple of long hikes in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State this summer. I guess it worked, because we were not harassed by any bears! In all seriousness though, bears would just assume stay clear of people, so the experts say that the best way to avoid an encounter is to let them know you are coming. This product certainly makes noise as you move around on a hike, and I believe that it is indeed effective. Be warned though, when you are half way up a high peak, and it's hot, and humid, and the black flies are biting, the incessant sound of Santa's sleigh maybe a little too much to bear (no pun intended). The magnetic silencer mostly works, but it's a little tricky. The metal ball inside the bell has to be right at the bottom of the bell for the magnet to immobilize it completely. Even then, it will break free once in while as you move around. The product performs exactly as well as I expected it to. I think it makes a charming little gift for the outdoors type person. For the price, it's worth it just for the fun of giving it to someone and having a good laugh.

Love how these attach and how they have a pleasant tingling sound. Just enough to alert animals and bears that I’m coming for my morning walks. I’ve purchased several times.

I bought two of these for my kids' bikes, in lieu of more expensive Timber! bells. I can hear them riding around about 50-100' away. The sound is like a big Christmas jingle bell, a little clunky. There is a "silencer," and it works, but it's a little tricky. You have to catch the magnet in the nylon strap exactly on the striker ball rolling around when it's just at the very bottom of the bell, and then it works pretty well. If you need a bell that will stay completely silent, however, I would not recommend this. For kiddos shredding on the trails, though, it's great! I can easily recognize the sound of their bells vs other bikes, and the sound works well to alert pedestrians in the path of our approach. I cannot speak as to how frightening it is to bears, fortunately enough...SIDE NOTE: I bought myself a Timber! bell (TIMBER! Mountain Bike Bell - Quick Release Model) and it works MUCH better as a trail riding bell for an adult, with not quite such a dull sound.

Not very loud! I wouldn’t re buy

A bear bell and other safety items were suggested by game and fish because I encountered a bear while hiking. This fits perfect on the front strap of my hiking backpack and it has strong Velcro that keeps it in place. There is a small magnetic piece you can place over the bell that works really well to keep the bell from ringing when not needed. I hope it lets the bears know I am headed their way! Has worked so far.

A gift for my step daughter who loves to hike, hopefully she will never have to find out if it works! Very well made, the magnetic silencer works as it should

Great bell for my dog when walking in woods

Mí cachorro se divierte muchísimo el timbre es agradable al oído y no molesta al oído de los perros, después lo vi a mitad de precio pero ha valido la pena

Bought these because a bear has been coming into our yard the last couple of weeks.. Last one was standing on the deck when we took the dog out at night.. He was checking out the BBQ.. So.. Bells on US, and Bells on the Poodle.. and the BBQ us moved from the house.. and so far. we have not seen the bear anywhere! Nice and loud.. the dog doesn't like the sound but he is getting used to it..
