SABRE FRONTIERSMAN Bear Attack Deterrent with Chest Holster Maximum Strength & Maximum Range - 35 Feet (9.2 oz)
Nothing ruins a good hike as fast as a large, menacing bear. Now you can protect yourself on hikes wherever you go with this Frontiersman bear attack deterrent, which is proven effective against grizzlies, brown and black bears, and a variety of other large mammals. Available in 7.9- and 9.2-ounce sizes, Frontiersman deterrent boasts a range of 35 feet--up to 3 feet further than other bear sprays. This is a huge advantage when hiking, as charging bears can cover more than 30 feet per second. To use, simply spray the dual-propellant system in the direction of the bear. Each one-second blast of Frontiersman contains up to 84 percent more spray than other brands, putting a large barrier between you and the charging bear. Within five seconds, the can will be empty and you'll be protected by a heavy fog of oleoresin capsicum--a natural, resin-like substance derived from hot peppers. The substance will cause an immediate but temporary burning sensation on the bear's skin and eyes, giving you time to scamper away.  Frontiersman bear repellant is effective both day and night, with a glow-in-the-dark safety wedge that prevents accidental discharge after the sun goes down. Plus, should an uninvited 800-pound guest come knocking at the door of your tent or RV, the glow-in-the-dark wedge will help you quickly locate your Frontiersman canister. This particular version of the Frontiersman bear repellant comes with a chest holster, which keeps the canister in an easy-to-access location. Sabre also sells a belt holster for people who prefer to shoot from the hip.  No bear spray is hotter than Frontiersman, yet the spray is completely safe for bears, causing only temporary burning and discomfort. (The EPA sets strict limits on the amount of heat-bearing chemicals used in bear repellent sprays.) And the Frontiersman has been field tested in some of the most challenging environments in North America, including the Elmendorf Air Force Base in Elmendorf, Alaska, and Brown Bear Resources in Missoula, Montana.
