Sabre The Runner

A great self protection product to have on the trail, or frankly anywhere.

I am not happy with this product. I purchased as protection when I am on my early morning walks while it is still dark out. I had two large and aggressive male dogs attack my dog while on a walk. I sprayed them and they did not hesitate at all. They were not even distracted. Luckily for me, they did not come after me. Unfortunately for my dog, she was bit several times before the attack ended. I have not tried on a human, but I am I not comfortable using this to keep me safe during my walks.

Take it with me when I take my walks. Have it on when I take my granddaughter with me at a park and walks. I love it an feel a little safer. Thanks

Great fast service great product great videos GREAT

Where I live, the Downtown area has a lot of homeless people, and while I don't automatically assume a homeless person will try to attack me, the sheer number of them makes it stupid to let my guard down. While I have yet to actually use this product yet (thankfully), I can safely say that I feel much safer with it on my person.

Fits comfortably. Super easy to operate. Bought the training bottle. I like this style above others as it is just ready and in position for use. I always stay alert and scan as I walk, but I noticed that with this in my hand, my awareness is heightened to paranoia...which I don't like. I carried a "tazer" years ago and noticed the same thing. Instead of feeling more safe, it made me feel anxiety and hyper vigilant. So...although the product is great, I don't know if carrying it is for me.

Just bought this and will probably not use. Poorly designed spray mechanism. The top locks when not in use, but when it is pushed out of lock position, the head with hole is loose and swivels randomly. The actual gel gel hole can be blocked by the plastic collar so that the gel would come out in random directions, including possibly toward the user. In an emergency, all attention needs to be on the threat, NOT on looking at the spray hole position, then keeping it in functional position with pressure from the thumb. Second negative feature is that the cannister is so short, it is difficult to get a good grip on it

This is one of two items I got for my daughter that moved across the country. I got her this for windy days when a gel is better suited than a spray. The added reflection strap is actually pretty smart, so kudos to the design team. This and the other product, spray keychain, 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.
