The Counter Assault Bear Spray with Holster is designed to provide you with a practical, non-lethal way to deter potential encounters while you hike, trek, or camp. This 10.2 oz canister delivers notable distance and a focused spray pattern, letting you respond with calm precision when quick action matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey reasons hikers and campers consider this deterrent include its combination of reach, strength, and thoughtful design. The spray is formulated to project up to 40 feet, offering a generous safety buffer in open terrain or windy conditions. An 8-second spray window gives you time to create a calm, clear escape route for you and your companions, reducing the need for close-range maneuvering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deterrent uses a maximum-strength 2% capsaicin blend, chosen to provide a robust but measured deterrent across common bear encounters encountered during outdoor trips. This is paired with an EPA-registered formulation, reflecting rigorous regulatory review and ongoing safety standards. The product carries a four-year shelf life when stored as directed, which supports planning for multi-season use in hiking and camping kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Day and Night Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne standout design feature is a glow-in-the-dark safety wedge with a string tether.
