About Capsaicin

Capsaicin is a natural compound found in chilli peppers and is available in different concentrations in pepper spray products. When shopping for a pepper spray product keep in mind that the higher this capsaicin percentage the more irritating the spray will be.

For dog and bear repellants we recommend a higher concentration of capsaicin and recommend a larger bottle for maximum effect. Hikers should always be prepared when in the wilderness and a good bear repellant is the perfect non-lethal option for hikers and campers.

There are several usages of pepper spray that do not require large amounts of capsaicin or large bulky containers. For personal defense a small simple container may be all that is needed to thwart of attackers. Smaller containers are also easier to transport and keep handy.
