Some Basic Pepper Spray Reviews

Here's a quick comparison about some of the different types of pepper sprays on the market:

• There are pepper sprays, pepper gels,pepper foams, pepper streams, and pepper foggers. Each one will have a different effective range for use, different coverage on your attacker, and possibly different effects on your attacker.
• If it's windy, pepper gel or foam are better because they won't blow back in your face.
• A blast of pepper stream will go farther, but your aim needs to be more accurate.
• Pepper gel may spray a longer distance so you don't have to be as close to an attacker
• Pepper gel and foam will coat an attackers face better than spray and will be harder to wipe off
• Some products may spray out in a "cone shape" so that stopping your attacker won't depend on spraying him exactly right in the face
• If you are indoors, pepper gel or foam will work better since it's not influenced by wind or weather
