When it comes to protecting yourself and your loved ones, how can you really know which pepper spray is the most effective?

INDEPENDENT LAB TESTING 

Although many brands claim to be the best, we recommend you consider the unbiased results of an independent laboratory* that tests the heat of the pepper once it is sprayed out of the can. The Certified Heat Rating (CHR) measures how hot the pepper spray will be once it comes in contact with your attacker.

Streetwise 18 Pepper Spray has a CHR of over 180,000 SHU (1.19 Total Capsaicinoids) making it one of the hottest, most effective self-defense sprays on the market. For comparison, the independent laboratory tested competing brands. They found the average heat rating to be 123,000 SHU, making Streetwise 18 over 46% hotter than the competition!

Streetwise pepper spray is so potent that it can incapacitate an attacker for up to 45 minutes without causing any permanent harm.

Some brands make exaggerated marketing claims. The only true way to know the actual effectiveness of a pepper spray is to have it tested by an independent laboratory. 

For streetwise, "Protecting What Matters Most" is more than just a slogan. It's their commitment to provide you with a top-quality self-defense spray that works when you need it.

*Streetwise has their pepper spray certified by the same independent laboratory (Chromtec LLC) that has been used by pepper spray manufacturers and the US Government for over 40 years. This certificate is available upon request. 

**They add a small amount of pure capsaicin (which is well over 4,000,000 SHU) to boost their CHR to over 180,000.
