A full-size bear and mountain lion deterrent spray with a glow-in-the-dark safety wedge. It is a spray, not a food container, and the category label is misleading.

Overview
Deploying a dense fog pattern, this SABRE Frontiersman MAX is a deterrent spray at the maximum capsaicinoid strength allowed by the EPA. The kit adds a holster for the belt and a safety wedge designed for quick, one-handed use.
A larger can with a longer spray time gives more time to react, which is the reason hikers choose the bigger size. The limitation is the weight on the belt and the fact that a spray only helps if it is carried within reach.
Who it's for
Hiking, camping and hunting in areas with bears, mountain lions and similar animals, carried on the belt or chest within reach. Anyone needing a bear-proof food storage container should buy a canister instead.
Pros and cons
- Maximum allowed strength
- Long listed range
- Belt holster included
- Glow-in-the-dark safety wedge
- Heavy on a belt
- Chest strap depends on package
- Not a food container
Performance notes
Pressurized propellant pushes the spray out as a wide fog, so the cloud covers a broad area in front of the user rather than a thin stream. Wind, temperature and distance affect how well it reaches an animal. The safety wedge is meant to be released with one hand without looking.
