Here are some of the reasons SABRE, manufacturer of Frontiersman® and SABRE WILD® Bear Spray, is the #1 brand trusted by police and consumers worldwide: 

• Maximum stopping power: Maximum strength (2.0% major capsaicinoids) allowed by the EPA, guaranteed via in-house lab
  

• Greater protection: Industry maximum 35-foot (10.6 m) range allows for greatest distance between you and a bear 
• Proven: Field tested and proven effective by the Elmendorf Air Force Base (Elmendorf, AK) and Brown Bear Resources (Missoula, MT)
• Biggest barrier: High emission system releases the maximum product (1.84 oz per second) to provide optimal protection
• Immediately accessible: Hip & chest holster do not have cumbersome straps to restrict immediate access to your canister or scare the bear

So when you’re deciding where to buy bear spray for use in Canada, take the following concerns into account:  

An HPLC guarantee means guaranteed heat

Frontiersman and SABRE pepper sprays undergo rigorous in-house HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) testing, eliminating this 30% failure rate and providing the confidence you need when your safety is at stake.

Immediate access at night.
You want to buy bear spray that features an easy locator, such as the SABRE WILD glow-in-the-dark safety wedge.
