The 9.2 oz spray combines maximum stopping power with a superior range of 35 feet, meaning you can deploy it from a safer distance to deter an aggressive bear.

FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray is a quick-to-deploy bear defense spray made with the maximum strength allowed by the E.P.A. (2.0% major capsaicinoids - 50% stronger than SABRE's maximum strength police pepper spray). The 9.2 oz canister provides maximum protection by rapidly deploying the heaviest fog of up to 1.84 oz (52 grams) per 1-second burst (up to 84% more than other brands) and creating a massive barrier of protection between you and the charging bear to maximize your safety. FRONTIERSMAN Bear Spray is available with holster options for the quickest access when seconds matter. When an 800 lb. bear is charging up to 50 feet (15 m) per second, every moment counts. Holsters keep your canister secure and immediately accessible without any cumbersome straps or velcro closures that can disturb the bear or cost you precious seconds as you try to access your spray.

The capsaicin is strong. I have old cans that expired a few months ago, and I tried one. Spraying it in bursts is fine, but my sister-in-law decided to empty the entire can like a total n00b. This caused some dripping under the nozzle, which is expected when you just do full blast until it empties out like a total dufus. You're supposed to spray in medium bursts. Anyways, I was holding the can and trying to do something else with my Nikon camera and accidentally touched the "stuff" that was dripping on the side of the can. I made it to the bathroom after a 5 min hike and washed everything off thoroughly. There were no signs of anything on my hands. In fact, as far as I know it, it only got on one hand. But just for good measure I did not touch my hands together (i.e. didn't get the stuff on my unaffected hand), even when washing off the capsaicin. It was in the high 80s for the temp so with my good hand, I patted some water on my neck. About 10 seconds later, I started feeling this intense pain sensation on my neck, as if someone was lighting a fire on me, constantly. This proceeded for a good 45 minutes. It hurt so bad I had to use ice on my neck, which seemed to help some. Without having access to ice, I'm sure it would have felt worse and lasted longer. And, you have to remember, this is with my seemingly good hand (which I washed previously just for good measure by putting it under the running water and rubbing my fingers against the hand - even though it didn't touch any of the spray material as far as I could tell). In other words, even if you wash your hands and somehow touch sensitive parts of your body, you will be burning in pain. The palm of my one hand originally had the spray material and that wasn't affected. But then again, if you learn about poisonous plants, you will realize most of the time the skin on your palm is so tough it's rarely affected by anything.
This same brand I originally bought many years ago (expired in May, 2016) came with holsters which I still use. The new ones I purchased last month (June, 2016 - expires 2019) did not come with holsters. The clip is decent and does a good job of preventing accidental firing of the can. I'm not sure what the other guy was smoking but he must have not taken care to securely store the bear spray during transportation. Treat it like a gun. You wouldn't just let it lay around somewhere something and trigger it. I have carried these 50+ times on various camping trips over the years and never had an incident. But then again you wonder how some clown in the news somehow manages to accidentally shoot and kill someone too. Maybe we should complain about the gun and not the person who's job it is to securely store the gun?
The clip and holster allows me to quickly pull out the bear spray and remove the safety with ONE thumb/hand and aim in less than a second. You must practice this over and over until you get it right. If you're taking longer than that, you should reconsider your skills as a marksman of any kind because you are clearly doing something wrong. :p
Go and watch the YouTube clip on the hiker who used a can of bear spray on a mountain lion that's about to attack him, and the one where a grizzly bear trainer (or wannabee) was killed by the grizzly and no amount of smacking it with sticks stopped the attack until the other trainers used a can of bear spray.
The glow in the dark is kind of cool but they should have used material that glows for longer durations.
BTW, this is cheaper than that counter assault stuff and contrary to what ANY manufacturer claims, nothing shoots 30 feet. They all do about 15-20 feet in best conditions. However, with that said, the spray is powerful and if you're like my sister-in-law, when you spray it and you're not prepared, it'll jerk your arm back.
Note that Yellowstone rents bear spray. I'm not sure for how much because I just buy my own for my camping needs.
On October 21, I was accosted by a man on an isolated section of road while I was out running. I had no other way to avoid him, but I saw him in time to get the spray ready, which took all of one second. I also bought the holster and it fits on my runner fuel belt.
I used the spray on this guy and was able to get away to the next house. Filed a police report.
I come from a family of gun owners, with conceal carry permits, and they all say to carry a gun. But this worked best would not have wanted anything else.
Criminals meant to do harm never announce it. In those seconds of a confrontation, there is a war in your brain fighting between what you know is going on ( something harmful) and their words of "I'm not going to hurt you" along with all this training for femlaes about being nice and cooperative.
I would not have used a gun, but had no problem spraying.
This spray worked great! Practice with it first so you're comfortable.
First the ways they are the same......
1.) Same canister diameter. This 9.2 oz canister is slightly taller. So both brands will fit in the Counter Assault holster I already own.
2.) Same maximum active ingredient allowed by law for discouraging bears from getting an attitude.
3.) Same trigger design with a forefinger loop and thumb operated trigger with the same glow in the dark thumb operated safety mechanism.
4.) Same good reputation for working on black bears and grizzly bears.
So, with those similarities there isn't a lot to relearn or adapt to in a panic situation. It appears that all the major brands.....Counter Assault, UDAP, and Frontiersman have standardized key elements of form and function. A huge kudos to this industry for adopting some sort of standardization in these safety products. If you learn to use one you can use them all. This could save a life in a bear encounter. Or a moose encounter.
So what are the differences?.....
1.) Rate. The Frontiersman and UDAP brands chose to almost double the flow rate of the Counter Assault bear spray. So there is much more deterrent going down range every second you hold down the trigger.
2.) Time. Because of the higher flow rate but similar volume of product 8.1 oz Counter Assault vs 9.2 oz Frontiersman, the Counter Assault gives you 7 seconds of spray vs only 5 seconds for the Frontiersman.
3.) Trigger. Both Frontiersman and UDAP are also similar in their trigger design. They offer less controlled bursts so it's harder to do a small burst. When you press the trigger these things will unload a lot of spray. So it's harder to test fire or use a smaller burst. Counter Assault on the other hand allows you to tailor the burst to the threat but will not get as much spray down range as fast as the Frontiersman or UDAP.
4.) Range. Frontiersman claims a range of 35 feet for their 9.2 oz canister vs 30 feet for the Counter Assault 8.1 oz canister. That makes sense with the higher flow rate and the more violent propellant associated with that rate. Will 5 feet make a difference? Maybe, maybe not.
I'm not sure either design approach is invalid, only different. I'd be happy to have either one in a bear encounter since a flame thrower or grenade launcher is not a practical solution. Here's what I decided to do with these two slightly different bear deterrents. I'll carry the Frontiersman in my shoulder holster mounted on my pack strap and the Counter Assault will be my backup canister I'll stow in my pack. I figure the higher flow and range of the Frontiersman will give me the best chance in a surprise encounter. But there's a high probability that I empty the canister in that one encounter. The Counter Assault backup will allow a little more finesse when I'm down to one canister so that I can possibly survive two subsequent encounters or multiple charging bears. Who knows if that's the smartest strategy. I won't know until it happens and I hope to never answer that question based on experience.
