At 0.75 oz with an effective range of 10 feet, it's small enough to carry every day but potent enough to create the distance you need in a threatening situation. The unit comes ready to deploy with an included holster and keychain attachment—no extra purchases required to get armed and mobile.

Built by a brand with over 170 years of firearms and safety expertise, this pepper spray brings that same reliability to non-lethal personal protection.

Whether you're solo camping, jogging at dawn, or navigating an unfamiliar area, this is a lightweight, legal self-defense option that doesn't require firearms training or licensing.

The included holster keeps the spray secure and accessible, while the keychain loop lets you clip it to your pack, keys, or bag for grab-and-go readiness.
