Sabre Fliptop Pepper Spray Chambray Blue: Compact Self-Defense for Women, Plastic, 3.7" Height, 0.54 oz

Of course I haven't had to use it "for real" yet (thankfully), so this rating comes from my first impressions. I wish the cap snapped shut, it just seems a little too easy for something to snag on it as I put it in or take it out of my pocket; and that means the button itself is exposed. A bigger issue for me is the grip. Videos on the website point to grasping the device as if it was a pole and then using your thumb to flip the cover and press the trigger. Problem is, the grip really can only accommodate 3 fingers, so this means you will have your first 3 fingers on the grip with the pinkie finger off the grip (which feels a little awkward); or you will grasp the grip with the last 3 fingers so your index finger is actually above the finger guard (which feels natural). Unfortunately, in this scenario your index finger is probably blocking the nozzle! I think this is what will happen most of the time when some needs to pull-out the device in a hurry. If the finger-guard between the grip and the nozzle was significantly larger, that would help to force the user to grip it correctly. I got 2 devices, one for me and one for the wife. I told her to use her index finger to operate the device; and I'll probably do the same.

This thing may have saved my life back over the winter when an enraged driver got out of his car and charged me. Unbelievably effective, instantly stopped the assault before it could happen. I never want to be without one of these again, there are crazy people out there.

As a retired Police Sergeant and OC instructor for over 40 years, my wife and I both carry Sabre Red everyday as part of our personal protection plan. Great product that lives up to its claims. Thanks.

small and convenient enough for our drivers to carry

I have purchased this product for several years, and feel safer carrying it (although I have fortunately never had to use it). I particularly like the design of this model. It feels comfortable in my hand, and I like the flip top for placement of my finger. Would definitely purchase again!

Bought 2. One to carry with me, one for inside of car.

While I do wish it was a tab smaller, it is fairly compact for what it is.

Perfect to attach to keychain for female college students walking alone on campus.

Nice size - the flip up cap is too easy to catch on a pocket etc. worried I will trigger spray accidentally

I began looking for some protection for my wife while she is walking. A month ago I was attacked by a large neighborhood dog while I was out walking my smaller dog. I received it and the month went by without incident, Until Christmas Day. This same dog rushed me and I pulled the pepper spray and got him one time. He retreated back to his yard. I didn’t even give him a full dose but he didn’t like it. I’m sold, it works!

This is one of two items I got for my daughter that moved across the country. This is for less windy days, and the other product, gel (for windy days) jogger's spray with reglective handle, both have a UV dye that doesn't come off quick or easily. That helps identify who or what it was used on. I'm a retired State Trooper, and to this day still carry Sabre, because you need to have a less lethal option in your self defense products. My wife carries Sabre's pepper spray keychain with wifi location through her phone, so I get a notification if she deploys it, can call police, and start her way too. I'd have no other brand for me or my family. I even bought some for other relatives at a local retailer when I got my wife, her spray.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the world we live in today, it’s always a good idea to have some form of self defense. This stuff is great! I always make sure I have it with me just in case.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a claim now though influenster. I had been toying with getting pepper spray for awhile and finally did it. I keep it with my dog walking stuff because that’s the time I am alone. It makes me feel safer to go out at night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I haven’t had to use this item yet I do feel that if the time comes I will be equipped. This item is easy grip and fits great in your hand. I have tested a few sprays and can tell that when the time comes it will be effective.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is small and easily throwable in a purse. I love that it has the safety cover so that you don’t accidentally spray it. Pepper spray comes out easily when the safety cover is opened.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very very nice and great hopefully i will not have to use it but i do love the safety features !!!! i also enjoy how compact it is and how i can keep it in my purse

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thankfully I haven’t had to use this product yet, but I knew this was something I needed to have so I was really happy to get this! The design is simple which is nice, but it also has a flip top measure for safety so that it doesn’t accidentally discharge. It fits nicely in my hand and also has a key ring so you can get to it quickly by keeping it on your keys. I know this a great brand for personal protection so I feel confident in this product without having used it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Luckily I haven’t had to actually use this yet, but I like the size of it, it’s such a small thing that is so easy to carry and makes you feel so much safer! The price isn’t astronomical and I appreciate the safety features so I don’t have to worry about my little ones setting it off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving this pepper spray! The design makes it easy to use and love the safety features! Great valued for the money and very effective! Love the key rings that also gives it easy portability!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i love the lightweight easy to use pepper spray from sabre! i take it with me when i go hiking and feel confident that i have a way to protect myself.
