KO Pepper Spray

KO Pepper spray or (pfeffer spray) comes from Germany and is arguably one of the most power pepper sprays on the market today. Available in both jet and fog. For those who don't know the difference, the jets sprays in a direct line (almost like a water pistol). This is great for areas where you don't want to contaminate people around i.e. in shopping centres or in clubs. The fog spray is great for general use because you don't need to aim as accurately as with the jet. The down side of the fog spray is that it may blow back into your face when blasted into the wind. Keep this in mind when deciding which product you which to buy. Priced from R65 I think that they are good value for money.

When using your pepper spray do not extend your firing hand ( the one holding the pepper spray). Rather Hold out your free hand to create space between you and you assailant and keep your firing hand close to you. Remember the golden rule: fire and move. Don't hang around to see what damage you have done. Get away and report the incident to the police. Pepper spray is also great against dogs (mutts) that may decide you look like lunch when you are jogging. For the ladies, don't keep your pepper spray in your bag because you won't find it when you need it. When walking, keep it in your hand or hooked onto your hand bag strap. When driving keep your pepper spray on your lap so that is ready at all times. To purchase a KO pepper spray click here
