The Counter Assault can is large, and I don't want to stash this thing in a pouch/backpack where it would be slow to reach when it's really needed.
Something to consider:
In tests I've read about, the biggest problem with pepper-spray effectiveness is that most sprays
eject a narrow stream, and miss the target, giving the attacker time to close the distance.
Bear spray is usually a high-volume *cone* of spray, making it a *lot* less likely to miss.
