The UDAP 260GG2 Griz Guard delivers maximum-strength bear deterrent protection with proven stopping power in critical wilderness encounters. This professional-grade pepper spray system provides reliable defense against aggressive bears at distances up to 30 feet, giving outdoor enthusiasts the confidence to explore remote territory safely.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard personal defense sprays, the Griz Guard formulation contains 2.0% capsaicinoids - the maximum concentration allowed by EPA regulations for bear deterrent products. The specialized fog pattern creates a wide defensive barrier rather than a narrow stream, increasing hit probability during high-stress encounters. Independent testing shows this concentration stops charging bears more effectively than lower-strength alternatives commonly found in sporting goods stores.
Key Features
- Maximum EPA-approved 2.0% capsaicinoid concentration for bear deterrent use
- 30-foot effective range with wide fog spray pattern for maximum coverage
- 9.2-ounce capacity provides 7-9 seconds of continuous spray time
- Glow-in-the-dark safety cap prevents accidental discharge during transport
- All-weather performance tested in temperatures from -20°F to 120°F

Field performance data from Alaska Department of Fish and Game shows 92% effectiveness in documented bear encounters when deployed properly. The pressurized canister maintains consistent spray velocity even when partially depleted, ensuring reliable performance throughout the product's 4-year shelf life. Rangers and hunting guides rely on this concentration level in grizzly country where split-second response determines survival outcomes.
