Pepper Gel Vs. Pepper Spray

Many ask about the difference between pepper spray and pepper gel.
Here are some advantages of pepper gel:
  • Sticks like glue to an attacker's face and skin, hard to wipe off
  • You don't have to worry about spraying on a windy day, no "blow back" in your face
  • Others around you won't be affected by spraying gel
  • You can use it in an enclosed area like a car, elevator, RV because it won't contaminate the air
  • Your aim doesn't have to be as accurate as with a pepper spray stream
  • Many have a longer effective range
Disadvantages:
  • Usually costs more 
  •  
Huh, only one downside? Wouldn't you spend a bit more to get the strongest pepper spray available in gel form with all these advantages?

Sounds like a "no brainer" to me!

  1. I have never used pepper gel, but I suppose there is a first for everything. Do you have a specific pepper gel model that you can recommend? I also found some amazing pepper spray options here: http://wildernessmastery.com/survival/the-best-pepper-spray.html
