Guard Alaska Bear Spray – 9 oz Fogger

You are out on the trail, miles from the trailhead, and you hear something moving through the brush ahead. That is not the moment to wonder if your bear spray is going to work.

Guard Alaska Bear Spray by Mace is the only bear spray EPA registered as a repellent for all species of bear, including black bears, grizzlies, and polar bears. That is not a marketing claim, that is a federal registration that required scientific proof. The 9 oz canister holds more spray than most competitors and empties in 9 full seconds of continuous coverage, giving you a powerful fogger pattern with an effective range of 15 to 20 feet.

Here is what it does for you:

• Reaches threats at a safe distance – powerful fogger pattern covers 15 to 20 feet so you have room to react before a bear gets close enough to make contact
• Maximum strength formula – made with 20% OC wildlife safe formula for the highest heat and potency available in a bear deterrent
• More spray time than most competitors – 9 full seconds of continuous spray from a 260g canister means you can keep going if the bear keeps coming
• Works in real conditions – formula is heavier than water so it works even on wet bears and in adverse weather
• EPA registered for all bear species – the only formula with that specific designation, scientifically proven and endorsed by the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation
• Ready in an instant – finger loop handle lets you carry it securely and deploy it fast when seconds matter. Pull the orange safety wedge and press the actuator, that is it
• Holster included – heavy duty nylon holster with hook and loop closure keeps the canister secure on your hip and gives you quick access when you need it

This is for the hiker heading into bear country for the first time. The backpacker spending multiple nights in the backcountry of Yellowstone, Glacier, or Alaska. The hunter who needs something reliable on their hip while field dressing an animal. Anyone who spends real time outdoors where bears live and wants the best protection available, not just the most popular one on the shelf.

What separates Guard Alaska from the crowded bear spray market is that EPA registration. Other sprays are EPA registered but Guard Alaska is the only one registered specifically as a repellent for all species of bear. That distinction matters when you are standing in the field and need to know your spray is actually going to do its job.
