GrizGuard bear spray is an EPA registered bear deterrent made for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and other trips into bear country. The 7.9 ounce canister releases a dense fog and comes with a clip on holster that keeps the spray within reach.
This is not personal pepper spray or insect repellent. It is made and labeled for deterring aggressive bears. Bear spray should be one part of a larger plan that includes awareness, proper food storage, making noise, and keeping your distance from wildlife.

How Does the Griz Guard Holster Help?
The Griz Guard holster clips to your clothing or suitable outdoor gear without requiring a belt. It helps keep the canister outside your backpack where you can reach it.
The holster also allows the canister to be removed from the top or side. Learn how the holster and safety wedge work before entering bear country.
Check the holster during your trip to make sure it remains secure. Do not place the can where gear, branches, or other objects may damage it or press against the actuator.

How Should You Carry Bear Spray?
Carry bear spray where you can reach it quickly. Do not bury it inside your backpack while hiking. The National Park Service recommends keeping it on your body in an accessible holster.
Read the entire product label before your trip. Practice removing the canister and safety wedge without releasing any spray. Never test live bear spray near people, animals, tents, vehicles, or buildings.
Bear spray is not a coating for your clothing, campsite, tent, or gear. Do not spray it around an area before a bear arrives.
How Should You Store and Replace It?
Store the can in a cool, dry place away from children, flames, direct sunlight, and temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Never leave it inside a hot vehicle.
Check the expiration date printed on the can when it arrives. Set a reminder on your phone or calendar to replace it before that date. Replace the can immediately if it leaks or if the canister, nozzle, actuator, safety wedge, or holster becomes damaged.
Can You Carry It in a National Park?
Bear spray is recommended in many areas with active bears, but it is not allowed in every national park. Check the official website or contact the park you plan to visit before your trip.
State, local, park, and travel rules can change. Review our Pepper Spray Laws by State guide and confirm any rules that apply to your destination. This information is general and is not legal advice.
Can Bear Spray Guarantee the Outcome of an Encounter?
No. Bear spray cannot guarantee what will happen during a bear encounter. Distance, wind, rain, temperature, timing, and the bear’s behavior may affect the result.
Stay alert, keep a safe distance, store food and scented items correctly, and follow current bear safety advice for the area. Never approach a bear or rely on the spray as a reason to take unnecessary risks.
Is GrizGuard Bear Spray Right for Your Trip?
GrizGuard may fit adults heading into an area where bear spray is recommended and allowed. Its dense fog, outdoor range, and clip on holster are made for carrying in bear country, not for ordinary personal defense.
