What you need to know:

• Standard Grade pepper spray
• 3oz canister
• Holster available  
• 2MM SHU @ 15% OC (want more info?)
• Shoots 8-10 feet, contains about 23 one second bursts
• Spray contains UV marking dye used to identify attacker
• Effective on intoxicated individuals, vicious dogs (ie. pit bulls)
• Slams eyes shut, causes coughing, gagging, makes breathing painful and difficult
• Designed to immobilize an attacker without being lethal
• Keeps up to 120 degrees
• Shoots a straight ballistic stream pattern 
• Recommended replacement time is about 2 years (discounts on replacements for repeat customers)

How to use:
Aim directly at the face (particularly the eyes), use a tight zig zag spray pattern to maximize coverage area, move your position after you spray (like a boxer jabs and dodges), run away from the attack scene.

What it does:
It is effective in: slamming eyes shut—causing temporary blindness, causing inflammation of the respiratory tissues—making breathing extremely difficult (but not prohibiting it). Bottom line, it immobilizes attackers, fast.

OC, the active ingredient in pepper spray that is derived from the hottest part of the habanero pepper, is a fast acting inflammatory agent (not merely an irritant), that works even on intoxicated individuals who feel no pain—unlike tear gas (commonly referred to as mace). It is a non-lethal substance, with intense effects that wear off in about 30-45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to escape a predator—and escape, not retaliation, should always be your goal. Also, since the effects are temporary, you do not have the same fear of making a mistake as has happened with guns—so there is added peace of mind storing it in the house. The only long lasting effect is the invisible UV dye that marks your target and could help identify your attacker.

Is Your Pepper Spray Expired?
All pepper sprays do expire over time, as result of small amounts of propellant escaping. We recommend replacing the key chain models every year, as they take a particularly hard beating, so that you always have an optimal defense ready.
