Nice bell
This bell should work well while hiking. Seems well made & light weight. Magnetic & the little carrying bag is well made. Hopefully it keeps the bears away!

Everyone Knows Bears Hate Bells, They Love Fried Chicken
Worked perfectly as intended. This was recommended to me by a few Smoky Mountain National Park Rangers. My wife and I went on our honeymoon to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee during the height of Black Bear season. Were we crazy? Yes definitely, but that wasn't stopping us. We bought the Bear Bell with the intention of attracting bears (kidding), but sadly they appeared nowhere in sight. In all seriousness though we did get up at the crack of dawn to get out on the trails before any of the tourists did and we were well prepared for any danger. Bears are most active from dusk until dawn, and we were the only ones out on these trails at 6am. Bear mace, knives, whistles, compasses, first aid kits, water, food, and most importantly above all things - the Bear Bell were all packed into our gear. I hung the bell from my backpack, which was done very easily, and every step I took sent out a jingle that I am sure scared the pants off of any bear nearby. The sound was not annoying at all and I felt very at ease while we went to see Abrams Falls and the Alum Cave. When I did not need the bell anymore, I simply slipped the cover with the magnet in it and I was not disturbed by any jingling until I took the cover off again. In all, this is a great product and no bear should dare to disturb you with your mighty jingly bell in possession. If you think my review was helpful, toss me a like!

Haven't been eaten by bears yet, must be working
I bought two of these for my dogs. They're good souls but have the sense of a drunk knat. In a previous encounter they ran up on a black bear soaking it's rear in a pond and scared the large fellow half to death and chased him down the hill. While I applaud their courage and need to defend I didn't want to repeat the encounter with a different ending. Bought two of these bells and alas I see no bears or deer anymore on the trails. The silencer works well in the car so you're not getting a migraine as you drive with your dogs playing leap frog between the seats. Easy enough to release the bell when you're ready to go and away they travel. Doesn't seem to mind them any as it doesn't hinder their ability to romp and find questionable animal remains to eat before I can get to them. Would buy again, probably saving our silly trio from becoming random animal leaving so I suggest you get yourself some as well.

Miss the mini cowbells, but this is just as good!
I remember one day I went mountain biking in a national park and saw something called a "bell box." Apparently the local ranger set it up and purchased bells for cyclists to use (to help alert nearby hikers/wildlife of their presence). This was such a great idea I thought. What better way than to be heard from far away as you are screaming down a dirt trail as reward for your grueling uphill slog! Now, I'm exaggerating a bit; proper mountain cyclist etiquette does not condone such dangerous behavior. No one should be screaming down a multipurpose trail where people and their animals may be hiking around numerous blind corners! However, the warning alert that those little cowbells gave were so wonderful because of the fact that you could hear cyclists coming and gauge how fast they were coming down the hill. When I went to the bell box I saw there were none left and even some older men who were cycling admitted that they kept the bells after their ride (you are supposed to put them back in the box once you reach the bottom of the trail). So I was out of luck. This was the only product I could find anywhere that resembled the mini cowbell these guys had on their bikes. And it is even better I might add! Sure it sounds a bit like Santa Clause found a new hobby as you are riding downhill, but with the built-in magnet at the bottom of the carrying sac, you can "silence" it as you pedal uphill and take it out of the magnet case when you are going downhill. I use quotations around silent because it doesn't completely silence the sound emitted from the device. While there isn't a ringing/echoing sound, you can still hear a flat/clanking sound when it's in the pouch. Not a big deal though because it's certainly not as loud as when its out of the case. I just wanted to let people known that if you are looking for a black/white, on/off, complete silence or completely loud device, this isn't it. But like I said, the sound is FLAT. There is no reverberation. The sound does not travel or get "reflected." So it may be heard by someone say, 5/6 feet away as opposed to 20-30ft away when the bell is OUTSIDE of the pouch ringing. The bell also has a nice Velcro loop that you can fasten around the handle bar. One thing I especially love about this product is that you do not need to activate it manually by hand like traditional bike bells! Riding downhill on a mountain bike on hard terrain can be dangerous. And you need both hands on the bar at all times. If you've been biking for a while, you know how sneaky those big tree roots or large rocks on the path come up from out of nowhere when you least expect it. So rather than contort your hand/thumb to ring your bell for any pedestrians, you just let the terrain jingle and bounce the bell to make noise automatically. You can also get this product at REI. If you cannot wait to have it shipped to you. It's a couple bucks more expensive there, but you can at least hear it there and if it ever breaks or you don't like it you can return it YEARS later, unlike purchasing it online. I love REI and I am a member there and Prime Member here on Amazon. Either place you buy it, you won't be disappointed and will love the functionality of this product!

Decent quality, but not a substitute for talking
The bell itself is well-made and has a nice sound. I brought it to Alaska, and the ranger reminded me that a bear bell is not as effective as the sound of human voices. In some areas, bears may even treat the bell sound like bird calls. If you’re hiking with kids (and talking along the way), you really don’t need this.

Mit Ehrfurcht und Begeisterung habe ich Berichte von Bekannten und Verwandten gehört, die durch die Wälder der USA oder Kanadas liefen, wanderten bzw. mit dem Fahrrad gefahren sind. So eine Coghlan's Bär Glocke mit Schalldämpfer gehört da zur Standardausrüstung, um von heimtückischen, sich meist lautlos von hinten anschleichenden Bären (Grizzly, Schwarzbären...), verschont zu bleiben. Vorausgesetzt, man hat den Schalldämpfer nicht aktiviert. Eine Tasse oder eine Topf aus Blech in Kombination mit einen Löffel am Bindfaden (außen am Wandergepäck befestigt) sollen ebenso wirksam, wie auch stylisch sein. Dieses Problem stellt sich hierzulande (noch) nicht. Allerdings sind die neuen Fahrräder und E-Bikes beim Fahren so leise, dass man als Radfahrer in urbanen Gegenden im Grundrauschen des Verkehrs fast ständig am Klingen ist. Andere Verkehrsteilnehmer, Tagträumer, nicht-, voll- und teilverstöpselte Smombies... müssen gewarnt und dezent auf das anrollende Fahrrad aufmerksam gemacht werden. Schließlich gilt es, unnötige Empörungen (offensichtliches eigenes Fehlverhalten wird meist geschickt mit: "Hast wohl keine Klingel am Fahrrad?", pariert) und Kollisionen zu vermeiden sowie das Fahrziel sicher zu erreichen. Ich finde die Idee aus den Alpen, mit dem Glöckchen oder gar der echten Kuhglocke (letztere vermutlich ein bisschen zu gewaltig für den Rahmen und vielleicht auch irreführend) am Mountainbike beim Downhill, gut. So können die meist harmlosen Wanderer, Sommerfrischler, Kurgänger etc. gerade noch rechtzeitig vor dem Einschlag des "unausweichlich" oder schlimmer dahinschießenden Fahrrad-Protagonisten informiert werden und somit geschickt ihr zeitnahes Handeln daran ausrichten. Außerdem passt deren Klang (in entlegenen Teilen des Landes meist sorgfältig von Meisterhand gestimmt) ausgezeichnet in die Gegend. Mit dem mitgelieferten Klettband montiere ich mittlerweile (aufgrund gewonnener Erfahrungen) Coghlan's Bär Glocke mit Schalldämpfer nur noch unter dem Sattel des eigenen Fahrrades. Die Glocke ist optisch und akustisch moderater als eine Tasse oder eine Topf mit Löffel. (Die Glocke ist natürlich kein Ersatz für eine behördlich zugelassene Fahrradklingel und sollte als solche auch nicht verwendet werden!) Die unvermeidlichen Unebenheiten des Weges führen auch beim Fahren im langweiligen Flachland/Stadtgebiet zum Schellen der Glocke. Der Klang ist nicht unbedingt unangenehm, jedoch verwarf ich bald nach der ersten Ausfahrt die weitere Befestigung am eigenen Lenker. Ich durfte feststellen: Der Klang und das Gebimmel wird nicht nur selbst, sondern auch von den anderen Menschen wahrgenommen und führt insgesamt zu mehr Achtsamkeit. Es gibt z.T. für den Radfahrer gefährliche Ausnahmen, wie spontan rechtsabbiegende oder auf dem Fahrradweg parkende Kraftfahrer in geschlossenen Kabinen bei laufenden Verbrennungs-Motoren - Zero Klang-Wahrnehmung). Somit ist der Zweck des Gebimmels wenigstens bei einem Teil der Verkehrsteilnehmer erreicht, die sich auf den nahenden Radfahrer einstellen können. Aber man kann sich leider nicht darauf verlassen! Als Radfahrer, das liegt in der Natur der Sache, ist man zumeist der schwächere Verkehrsteilnehmer. Es führt an der Benutzung der klassischen Fahrrad-Klingel kein Weg vorbei. Falls die akustisch-nervliche Selbst-Belastung des Radfahrers zu stark wird, kann man durch Anlegen des am Klettband befestigten Magneten das Gebimmel zuverlässig zum Erliegen bringen. Um bei diebischen Glocken-Liebhabern keine Begehrlichkeiten zu wecken, ist eine Demontage und sichere Verwahrung beim öffentlichen Abstellen des Fahrrades geboten. Mit dem Klettband ist es doch so einfach, die Glocke abzunehmen! (Fazit: Falls ich doch einmal eine Kanada-Reise plane, habe ich jetzt schon ein wichtiges Accessoire und muss es für die Dauer der Reise nicht zweckentfremdet weiter am Fahrrad nutzen ;-).. Übrigens, ist Coghlan's Bär Glocke mit Schalldämpfer, richtig verpackt und in einen Kontext gesetzt, ein originelles Geschenk. Preis-Leistung stimmen, kaufen!

Really liked the size of the bell and the sound it makes which does not appear to bother our dog. We attach it to his collar and he happily accepts the noise. Would recommend.

Lo utilizzo sulla mountain bike per segnalare il mio arrivo ad eventuali escursionisti lungo i sentieri ed evitare incidenti. Suona praticamente da solo viaggiando su sterrato. Si può anche silenziare tramite una "fettuccia" calamitata. Ottimo prodotto
