HOW IS IT WITH BEAR DEFENSE SPRAYS?

Monday, 01 October 2018

defense-spray-grizzlyYou'll find various "Bear Killers" and "Bear Destroyers" on defense equipment vendors' websites (I'm deliberately making up the names so as not to sound like I'm assaulting specific products) that are described as extra-effective sprays specifically formulated against bears. However, these sprays contain the OC substance oleoresin capsicum as standard, and in the vast majority of cases the concentration of this active substance in such bear sprays is only 2%.

This is really pitifully low, apart from the fact that the OC substance has long since been surpassed by a more effective substance referred to as CP or CR. Just as an example, we can tell you that the German armed forces use defensive sprays against human aggressors containing the OC substance as well, but with a concentration of 15%, i. e. more than 7 times higher (on our website, you can find this spray under the name POLICE JET or TORNADO). When selling "hot pepper sprays", some manufacturers or sellers indicate the amount of Scoville heat units (SHU). The indication of such data is very relative, but a label stating 1,000,000 SHU is very effective indeed.

SO, WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN CHOOSING A DEFENSIVE BEAR SPRAY?

First and foremost, the active substance, at least an OC substance (but preferably CP/CR) with a concentration of at least 10%. And secondly, remember that the greater the volume, the greater the pressure and therefore the greater the range. We recommend a minimum volume of 100 ml, but ideally between 300 and 700 ml. Problem with carrying? Simply hang it on your backpack or purchase a suitable carrying case. Also remember that a 0.1% concentration of CR/CP is comparable to a 30% concentration of OC. When buying a defensive spray, don't just rely on an attractive label, an action name, or the number of heat units listed, but do your due diligence to make sure you're really buying the most effective one available on the market if you don't want to skimp on your defense. Thus, a bear spray may not be named "Bear Killer" at all and yet be several times more powerful than one that is named so.

Rovnako dôležitý je dosah a to je u Police Jet a Tornado len 4metre čo je málo.Obsah 100ml je tiež málo.
