Mace 3-i-1 Flip Top politimodell pepperspray

The flip top is stiff enough that it won't accidentally open in my purse, but easy to hit in a panic. I tested it once in the backyard and the stream holds together straight for a good ten feet before it starts to spread, which is exactly what I wanted. Feels solid in the hand, not like a toy.

The 15-foot range is a huge relief—I tested it in my backyard and the stream held steady the whole way. The flip top feels solid and easy to open quickly, which is exactly what I wanted for peace of mind on my morning runs.

I was nervous about carrying something bulky, but this thing is slim enough to slide into my purse pocket and the 15-foot stream range makes me feel way more secure walking to my car at night. The flip top clicks shut firmly so I don't worry about it deploying by accident.
