The SABRE Frontiersman delivers maximum-strength bear deterrent protection with a 40-foot spray range and 7.9-ounce capacity canister. This EPA-registered bear spray contains 2.0% major capsaicinoids, the maximum concentration allowed by law for wildlife deterrent products.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard pepper sprays designed for human threats, the Frontiersman uses a specialized fog pattern optimized for large wildlife encounters. The 40-foot range provides critical standoff distance when facing aggressive bears or other large animals. Independent testing shows this formula stops charging bears in 92% of documented encounters, significantly outperforming lower-concentration alternatives.
