Sabre Black Bear and Mountain Lion Defense Spray

The Sabre Black Bear and Mountain Lion Defense Spray is a backcountry essential for hunters, hikers, and campers who venture into bear and big cat country. This EPA-approved bear spray delivers maximum stopping power in a compact, easy-to-carry canister—giving you a non-lethal option to deter aggressive wildlife and create distance between yourself and a charging threat.

What sets this spray apart is its dual-threat capability: it's the only bear spray the EPA has approved specifically for use against both bears and mountain lions, plus other large cats. The formula packs 2.0% major capsaicinoids—the maximum strength allowed by law—and a field-tested design proven effective by rigorous testing at Elmendorf Air Force Base and Brown Bear Resources. When an encounter happens fast, you need a deterrent that works immediately. This spray deploys a heavy fog barrier with up to 7 seconds of total spray time, giving you critical seconds to back away and reach safety.

At 9.2 oz, it fits easily into your pack or holster without adding bulk, and the glow-in-the-dark safety makes it quick to locate even in low light. The 40-foot effective range means you can deploy it from a significantly safer distance than most competitive products, helping level the odds when facing a bear or mountain lion charging at speeds up to 35 mph. Whether you're hunting remote backcountry, setting camp in grizzly territory, or hiking in cougar range, this is the trusted, EPA-approved tool that serious outdoor enthusiasts carry for peace of mind.
