Counter Assault Bear Spray - Bears, Mountain Lions, Coyotes - Long-Range 44ft Distance - Pepper Spray Safety Gear for Hiking & Camping Protection - 2% Capsaicin - 10.2 oz

I bought 3 of these and have never had to use them on a bear. However, I did test the spay of one can on a paper target, and it spreads extremely wide and lingers a while. I would say a 10 foot mist in width. I tested at 30 feet away and it worked perfectly. The spray time was about 7 seconds, and about 1 second extra of reduced pressure.

This is my #1 product to carry when I hike or backpack. Really has a great wide, long distance spay.

Highly recommended if you are going to be around predatory animals!! We bought the bear Spray for a multi-national park bucket list trip. I cannot really hike at this time as a cancer survivor with recent major surgery - but we thought better safe than sorry. We went stargazing at Badlands National Park and I was SO glad we had it there!! The safety tab glows in the dark for easy removal to deployment. I actually took off the safety tab to be at the ready - lol -there were coyotes howling not too far away. The safety tab was super easy to put back into place! Better to have and not need it… One of our bus tour guides from Yellowstone National Park recommended that one always carry bear spray a Yellowstone. We did see two Grizzlies there!

I like how it's all put together in a carry pouch. I can't comment any further because I haven't used it on any animal or human including my husband trying to get frisky with me. LOL I have 1 can with me on hikes and the second can stays in my car door in-case someone desperate tries to attack me.

I learned this poem in boy scouts. If its black, fight back. If its brown lay down. if its white its your last night. This spray give a piece of mind while hiking.

This has saved me from several unfriendly dogs while on my bike. I especially like the long range spray capability.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 27 year old grandson. He and friends travel to mountains area to rock climb. I researched and researched and found this bear repellent with the highest excellent rating. It can be harnessed to his climbing gear and keep close to him in the tent. It said to practice a few times to get the feel of how it works: I hope he doesn’t have the need to use it. It’s best to be prepared.

Now try something Smokey! I'ma ready for ya.
