    if you really want a can of pepper spray get a can of bear spray, it is designed to stop a grizzly. it is also very bulky, and as with all sprays the wind had better be right or you will be blind also. any weapon takes training and the right mind set.

    how will it handle weather? is it water proof? It also looks kinda fragile. I have been considering a garmin 60 csx, in fact I nearly ordered one last night, but I wanted to shop a little more. I want something that I can put on a kayak.
