Mace Guard Alaska Bear Spray, 9 oz Black

The Mace Guard Alaska Bear Spray is a powerful and effective tool for bear safety, featuring a formulation of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Bear Safe Formula, a natural ingredient derived from hot peppers and regulated by the EPA. Upon contact, the OC Pepper causes temporary loss of sight, difficulty breathing and a painful burning sensation in the bear's eyes, nose and lungs, providing a crucial defense mechanism. To use, simply remove the orange safety wedge on the top of the grip and press down on the actuator button to spray. For optimal performance, store the bear spray in a cool, dry place, away from heat, flame or direct sunlight. Avoid storing in temperatures exceeding 120 deg F/50 deg C or below 32 deg F/0 deg C, as extreme heat can cause over-pressurization and leaks, while cold temperatures can depressurize the canister, reducing its effective range. Keep your bear spray in top condition to ensure reliable protection when you need it most.
