Maximum strength formula is backed by SABRE’s in-house high performance liquid chromatography laboratory which guarantees maximum stopping power, eliminating the 30% failure rate experienced with other pepper spray brands (University of Utah study); plus UV marking dye aids in suspect identification. Pepper gel does not atomize like traditional pepper spray, meaning it virtually eliminates wind blowback and only affects what it directly contacts, plus it offers a 20% greater range (18 feet/5.5 m) for protection at a safer distance.
