Compact Bear Spray Combo Pack

Counter Assault Bear Deterrent has been an effective means of non-lethal protection from wildlife and bears since it was first developed, in conjunction with the University Montana, in the early 1980s. Dr. Charles Jonkel and Carrie Hunt of the University of Montana Border Grizzly Project generated the scientific data that proved Counter Assault's proprietary formula and delivery system successfully deterred bears from aggressive encounters in a non-lethal manner, and it has remained an integral part of many explorers' kits since.

In 1986, Counter Assault began business operations in Missoula, Montana to market a bear spray. Since then, National Park rangers, hunters, hikers, guides, and others have carried the spray in the backcountry. Counter Assault Bear Deterrent is used worldwide by outdoor professionals, enthusiasts, and by Federal and State wildlife agencies. Due to its lightweight design, Counter Assault Bear Deterrent is easily carried on the belt of a hunter, fisherman, or backpacker.

In June 1998, Counter Assault became the first bear deterrent pepper spray to achieve US Environmental Protection Agency registration. In December of the same year, the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee, a group consisting of various US Forest Service, state agencies, and other government personnel, awarded Counter Assault the 1998 Grizzly Bear Stewardship Award for significant participation in the research and development of bear deterrent pepper spray. Counter Assault has continued their excellence in development and research and boasts bear deterrents that have the longest ranges for their product sizes. Counter Assault is an established leader in the bear spray industry with quality products that keep people and their families safe. Counter Assault bear spray is not only grizzly tough, it is POLAR BEAR tough, providing World Class Protection and Innovation for Your Safety.

Counter Assault boasts the farthest spraying bear repellent compared to companies with the same size cans.

The 10.2 ounce can sprays up to 40 feet for approximately 8 seconds, while the 8.1 ounce can sprays up to 32 feet for approximately 7 seconds.

Counter Assault received the 1998 Grizzly Bear Stewardship Award, presented by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee, in recognition of the research and development of bear spray conducted in conjunction with The University of Montana Border Grizzly Project from 1980-1982. Studies have shown that using bear spray results in a 92% chance of an attack being deterred, saving your life and/or the bear's life as well.

Counter Assault not only cares about their customers and the bears they may encounter, but also the environment. The bear spray meets all EPA requirements for the Significant New Alternative Policy (S.N.A.P) of the clean air act regarding ozone depleting substances. The bear spray can be brought anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.
