Investing in your personal safety is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself. The  2-in-1 Pepper Spray and Personal Alarm from SABRE offers a powerful, dual-function solution to give you peace of mind and confidence wherever you go.


Why You Need Both Pepper Spray and a Personal Alarm



While a personal alarm can be an excellent safety tool for drawing attention to yourself and discouraging potential threats, it’s not always enough if no one is around to hear it. The  2-in-1 Pepper Spray and Personal Alarm combines the benefits of both devices, ensuring you can defend yourself if you’re by yourself or an attacker is closing the distance between you.


What sets the 2-in-1 Pepper Spray and Personal Alarm apart?


  • Maximum Strength: This device contains the same SABRE maximum strength pepper spray formula with UV dye that is trusted and used by police worldwide.
  • Comprehensive Protection: The personal alarm emits a piercing 130dB sound that can alert those nearby, while the pepper spray provides physical defense against assailants.
  • Ease of Use: One press of a button, triggers both the personal alarm and pepper spray. 
  • Dual Functionality: This combination allows you to defend yourself and simultaneously call for help, increasing your chances of escaping danger.
  • Versatility: The alarm can be used independently for different scenarios.
