I have had a good experience with the Avery Hexabumpers. I have several brands of training bumpers and the Avery Hexabumpers have held up well. If I had any complaint at all, it would be the pliability of the material in cold weather. The bumpers do get very hard in cold weather. However, I believe the durability of the product out weighs the hardness in cold weather. Overall. very satisfied. Clent

Good quality, comes with throw rope, and easy for me to see when I throw it. No cons.

I like the versality in color. I don't have to worry about the sky light conditions as the dogs can see the bumpers on gray and sunny days.

Hexabumpers do a great job of encouraging the right hold for a dog. The design is great and the bumpers are durable. The flasher is perfect for most training situations since the dog can pick up either black or white no matter the background.

Love the durability of the hexabumper. Nice weight for throwing to gain distance.

Love Avery bumpers -- nice feel and weight to them -- easy to throw and the dogs seem to like carrying them around!

Too expensive and far to hard for the dog. You could easily break a tooth on a breaking bumper. I will not buy more of these.

Love it. Dogs see it well and it is durable

Too damn hard. Not worth the extra money. Your standard EZ Rotational is alot better.

Really good bumper, and I plan to buy more. Really flashes well when spinning in the air. Young dogs really seem to mark well.

This bumper is durable and I like the smaller size bumper. While I own larger ones, this is small enough for my pup to handle and large enough to work with my old guy as well.

Great training aid.

Awesome bumper. Great quality. Longer lasting than competitor brands. Would never go back to the "others"

Best pumper on the market. Flat sides provide better surface for training dogs to hold, flasher is great for marking land and water, floats well, perfect weight for hand tossing, very durable.

Outstanding product at a good price. I have had mine for nearly 2 years and use the same 1 every day. It has held up to the daily use and would highly recommend the bumper and Gun Dog Supply .

The hex bumper is the best most durable bumper on the market today.

Right size and resists chewing damage.

My dogs absolutey love the bumper. The color is great for the river, current, waves, and different times of day with the available light. My labrador is a chewer and this does not have the valve that she loves to destroy. When they see me get the bumper they know the fun is about to begin! We are 5 minutes from the river and they know the routine.

This bumper cracked while using it in the cold weather with in a few months of light use. It did not hit concrete or rocks or anything that would have made sense, it just split right down the side. Maybe there is a seem there or something. I am mostly pleased with all other Avery products, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt on this one, maybe it was just from a bad batch, but I would not buy another one of these models.

This is now the only bumper I will buy. I used to buy non-hex by the dozen. Once I bought a hex, my dog would not go near the old ones. Great bumpers!

I am not a professional dog trainer but I train my dogs on an average 3 ? 4 days a week year round. I love to duck hunt and in the off season run UKC hunt test. I think I have used just about every bumper available and now buy the Avery Hex Bumper exclusively. It works well for all age dogs. I like its solid, sealed construction because you can go from land to water and not have to worry about it sinking. The bumpers weight, size and rope are great for getting not only distance but when needed, the height. The throw rope size and quality is also easy on your hand which is great when training in groups having multiple dogs. The hex bumper is also easy to clean. Lightly brushing with soap and water will clean these bumpers restoring the white needed for the dog to see it when working on long marks during low light conditions which, to protect your dog from the heat, is when you train during the summer months in Louisiana.

Super tough yet easy on their mouth and my hands. Easily standing up to 2 Belgian Malinois in DockDiving and retrieving. Not showing a sign of wear after weeks of daily use. Would absolutely buy again!

Durable and well made

Good bumpers

I like that they are great for training in all sorts of conditions...low light, bright sun, and all seasons...summer, or winter here in Maine where we have plenty of snow.

Very happy. Great product and love Gun Dog Supply's fast shipping and great service

The flasher concept is an excellent training tool and training aid. The dogs always see the bumpers because of the alternating colors.

I purchased a few different bumper brands about 1 year ago from Gun Dog Supply - the Avery bumper is both my and my dog's favourite! The plastic is nice and thick and doesn't "squish" under pressure, and has not been punctured or damaged even after many tug sessions between the dogs. And it's a good weight for throwing. It's proven to be extremely durable for our weimaraner, who is crazy for water retrieving!

These bumpers are some of the best I have tried. They are very durable, even on cold nights when the many bumpers will crack. They are heavier than the average bumper, which lets you throw them much farther, especially with the included throw rope. I use the flasher mostly, with the orange planted for blinds. Great bumper would recommend them to anyone.
