The Counter Assault 15067025 delivers maximum-strength bear deterrent protection with a proven 32-foot spray range and 7-second discharge duration. This EPA-registered capsaicin formula creates an effective barrier against aggressive bears in wilderness encounters. The included belt holster ensures rapid deployment when seconds matter most.
What Makes This Different
Counter Assault bear spray contains 2.0% capsaicin and related capsaicinoids - the maximum concentration allowed by EPA regulations. The wide spray pattern covers a 30-degree cone, creating a defensive wall rather than requiring precise aim under stress. Unlike consumer pepper sprays, this formula specifically targets bear mucous membranes with ingredients proven effective in field studies.
Key Features
- Maximum EPA-allowed 2.0% capsaicin concentration for proven bear deterrence
- 32-foot effective range with 7-second continuous spray duration
- 8.1-ounce canister provides multiple defensive bursts if needed
- 30-degree spray pattern creates wide defensive barrier

Field testing demonstrates effective bear deterrence rates exceeding 90% when properly deployed. The pressurized delivery system maintains consistent spray velocity across the full discharge cycle, ensuring maximum range even as canister pressure drops. The formula remains stable from -20°F to 120°F, making it suitable for year-round backcountry use. Wildlife biologists and park rangers rely on Counter Assault's proven formulation in grizzly and black bear habitats.
