UDAP 18HP Super Magnum Bear Spray<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love a great story behind the invention of a product, you\u2019ll appreciate knowing that the UDAP 18HP Super Magnum Bear Spray<\/a> was developed by a guy who survived a near-fatal bear attack and not only lived to tell the tale but then dedicated his life to creating a product that ensures the same fate didn\u2019t befall his fellow outdoorsmen and women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price tag on this spray may prove to be a dealbreaker for a few would-be buyers, but in return for your outlay you get a whole lot of product. At 13.4 oz, this is the largest spray on our list and it also packs the legal max 2% CRC content and a very fear-quelling 35-foot spray range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drawbacks to the Super Magnum are minimal. While the safety clip may be a little bit fiddly and the pack size a little bigger than the other items on our list, these are more than made up for by the Super Magnum\u2019s reliability, quick delivery, huge volume, and high potency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
