UDAP 7.9 oz. Bear Spray with Hip Holster

This is a tough product to review at this point. It's a bear spray and I haven't had to use it yet. So technically I can't address it effectiveness. I purchased this product based on the reputation of the company that manufactures it. That coupled with STP's price made it an easy purchase. Other than that, the size and ease of (potential) use also contributed to my purchase. If I encounter a bear and you don't hear back from me, then it's probably not as effective as it should be.

Mounted on your side when you need. Nice holster.

I haven't had to use it (knock on wood), but with a coupon, it was half the price of other retailers. Too good of a deal to pass up for a reputable brand of bear deterrent.

This is a great product. Easy to pack and carry and designed to work well in the conditions it's meant for!

Haven't needed to use and hope we never have to. The product information is on the canister and all of the directions are in really, really small print. I strongly recommend removing the cansiter from the heavy plastic shipping bag as it could not be removed easily in a hurry AND reading how to use the canister BEFORE needing to actually use it. Apparently not a good choice for hot climates as it says to not leave in a hot vehicle. Kind of leaves out all of the south west for most of the year! Hard to rate this product as we've not physically used it yet and as I said- directions for use are lost among so much other information and in very small print- (I'm sure in order to get all the necessary information on the product label) that orientation to the product is imperative prior to initial use.
