Pros & Cons
Pros
Black bears are becoming regularly seen in my area. When dog walking, i'm aways on the lookout for bear. As an added bonus it keeps hikers away. Sometimes camping and hiking, we let our dogs off leash.
Small, inexpensive and easily silenced with included magnetic bag. It can be engaged/disengaged on the fly. The magnet is in the storage bag and it may help keep the bell quiet.
Cons
If a bear comes you talk calmly and back away. A bear protects itself by smell first. The magnet is pathetic. It's so weak that the bell just keep ringing.
Bells are obnoxious and ruin the ability to enjoy the outdoors. How overpriced bell in my opinion. I have a lifetime of experience hiking in the backcountry and these tiny bells are absolutely useless.
The bell is so muted that i can only hear it within line sight. Scratching a ear, makes noise.
Highlights
Quality
I really liked how easy it was to attach to my bag and how easy it is to simply stop the noise with the little pouch.
Only complaint is it is a little tedious to mute it with the bag.
I took off a star because even with the magnet it still makes some noise when moving.
Off leash and in a wooded new england forest, the one with the net got caught on a branch.
Price
But it works well for what it costs.
Packaging/appearance
I did cut off the little mesh bag as i saw it as a catching hazard and didn’t want her to get stuck on a bush or tree!
Competitiveness
Still happy with it, and it’s a fraction of the price of other bells.

Its loud and chimes with each step that is the purpose of it so that the bear can hear us coming but im glad we could slide it into the pouch to silence it when we didnt need it

I had also bought another one from a different company and paid almost 4 times the price of this one and it was tiny in comparison

I am confident that once i regain my ability to walk that particular bear will not be able to sneak up on me or anyone else
