Sabre Frontiersman Bear Spray Holster for 7.9 & 9.2 Oz. Canisters, Nylon Chest, Belt, Waist, & 3-in-1 Options Available, Adjustable Straps, Strong Elastic Prevents Canister Loss, Hook & Loop Design

I first got my bear spray and always kept it in my backpack, yet when closing in risky areas is best to have it handy. As soon as I bought this holster I realized this is the only way to carry a defense tool, it keeps it tight and secure yet it takes me a second to grab the spray if needed. 10 / 10 would recommend

This feels well-made and is just the right amount of tension to hold the 9.2oz canister from falling out accidentally, while still allowing you to pull it out smoothly and rapidly when you need to. I'll update this review if anything changes as I put more use on this.

Works perfectly!

UPDATE: I notified Amazon that the strap was missing and they replaced the entire product at no charge and in one day. So I wanted to update my review from one to five stars and also say that I highly recommend this product. It is well made, great value, and exactly what I needed. Thank you Amazon for being such a great company with great products. Highly recommend! I had read the reviews and though some said the chest strap didn't come with the holder, others stated it was inside the sleeve. But this arrived today and sure enough there was no chest strap included. I bought this specifically because of the chest strap since the bear spray came with a sleeve to put through your belt. (I don't wear a belt) The back of the packaging states "for chest holster, see enclosed instructions" but there were no instructions either. I would not recommend this product if you are looking for anything other than a belt holder for your bear spray. Call me disappointed. I plan on returning this as false advertising or defective (missing parts).

I bought it just so I had something to strap my bear spray and air horn to. It worked. No complaints. But you can buy a can of Sabre spray with the holster built into an all-in-one purchase/box. Which I found out the hard way. Not sure why anyone would buy this separately unless they prefer another brand of spray that fits in this holster. I returned this but am very happy with the value I got from the Sabre all-in-one.

This holster is the perfect size to use for the SABRE Frontiersman Bear Spray canister. When we were hiking in Glacier NP almost everyone had a holster and a canister of bear spray. Get this holster so you don't need to carry the bear spray canister while you are enjoying the hike.

Good product

Personally not a fan. If you can get it on the harness is solid but I wasn’t a fan of the material or build quality.

325 gram can will fit but tight.

Just as advertised, it's an elastic front fabric holster that will even fit the big 10.2oz (290gr) canisters from Counter Assault. It's the same model as the belt holster, meaning you can still wear it on your belt if needed, but comes with a chest harness to carry it in a more accessible fashion. I don't have extensive time on it so I don't know how long it will last before the sticking comes apart, but from experience with similar holster, should last long enough not to be bothered about it. I really like it because it allowed me to mount my big 8-1/4" double edged blade Cold Steel OSS behind it, tip up, for quick draw from either hand no matter which position you end up in, in the unfortunate case that you have to resort to a knife against an animal on top of you. I carry it right in front of my heart, giving a slight extra protection against slashing from an animal. For those who carry, you still have plenty of room for a underarm handgun holster on either side. It's pretty hard for people not to notice you when wearing such a rig tho, so don't think you can achieve a concealed look with this chest holster if that's what you were looking for (even less with a 13" knife across your chest). For those wondering about comfort, I have a slim body and only 5'6", but I've been wearing the rig for about an hour walking around the house (to fine tune the straps and find out the sore spots) with the knife and full 10.2oz can and its quite tolerable. Someone with a little more meat on their bones probably wouldn't notice it. The whole rig can be slid offset (under my left arm in my case) and concealed when wearing a coat as well as keeping the knife handle out of your groin area when sitting down or driving, etc. I've tried rolling around with it in all directions on the carpet and to my satisfaction it stayed well in place and I was able to draw both the knife single handed (from either hand) and the can with both hands at all times, although you could pull the can out single handed if you struggle it out, as the elastic front fabric keep the magnum sized can pretty snug and the holster want to lift up with it for a few inches. Overall a good product that fits the jobs perfectly and allows for a good attachment point for your favorite sticking/combat/utility knife for when you'll need it most, at a very affordable price and surprisingly fast 2 days shipping. I hope I'll never get to use it, but I sure will be wearing it anytime I'm out in bear (and cougar) country.

fits my bear spray nice .

They were good, held the bear spray tightly and it never fell out on my hike, W product

There are seconds to activate bear spray if a bear is charging. There is no time to look for it or try to wrestle it from a holder. Having a chest option especially when portaging a canoe keeps the bear spray within easy reach. It is convenient having the ability to fasten it with a carabiner or a belt strap. However, we found that the bear spray fit neatly in a pocket in a vertical position and were more comfortable not using this harness. However, I would travel with it anyway because not every pocket is that convenient. I don't trust velcro straps to not come loose. Carabiners are often not as fast to release as simply grabbing a spray can from a holster on the chest. The can is always in sight and easily available. I had bought another brand with simply the velcro belt strap. A chest strap is the only version with which I feel completely safe. I always know where it is.
