Guard Alaska Bear Spray – 9 oz Fogger

Guard Alaska Bear Spray 9 oz is a bear deterrent made for hiking, camping, hunting, and other trips into bear country. It uses a fogger pattern and comes with a heavy duty nylon holster.

Must be 18+ to purchase and legally allowed to own this item where you live.

This model has a 20% OC formula, finger loop handle, and removable safety wedge. It is made for bear encounters outdoors. It is not regular pepper spray made for use against people.

Guard Alaska Bear Spray Range and Pattern

This product uses a fogger pattern. We list a conservative range of approximately 15 to 20 feet. Wind, movement, direction, and the condition of the canister can affect how far the spray travels and where the fog lands.

A fogger releases a wider cloud than a narrow stream. That wider pattern may help when aiming at a moving bear, but wind can also move the spray back toward you or other people.

How Does the Safety Wedge Work?

The removable orange safety wedge helps prevent an accidental discharge. Remove the wedge before pressing down on the actuator.

Read the directions printed on the canister before entering bear country. Keep your fingers away from the actuator until you are ready to use the spray.

Finger Loop Handle and Nylon Holster

The finger loop gives you a set place to hold the canister. The included heavy duty nylon holster helps keep the spray where you can reach it.

Bear spray should not be buried at the bottom of a backpack. Check that the holster is secure and that you can remove the canister without struggling with other equipment.
