What is the shelf life?

I personally haven't tested this out, but manufacturers generally suggest that spray be swapped out at least every 3 years. This is the same time frame for pepper spray. Of course much of it depends on the conditions that the unit is stored. Extreme heat or cold will impact shelf life dramatically, whereas having the canister stored in a cool dry location could extend it beyond the manufacturer's expiration date.

At least 2+ years... I had a pepper spray from maybe 8 years ago, at least. Fooling around with my buddies, we ended up spraying my front tree... It worked. This bear spray is only a one time use can though....so I say it should last 4 + years but I would recycle it out every two years...you ll learn to use the can and see it in action...

I had an almost identical can of pepper spray as this one. The only difference was the label on the can. I had it about 8 years and it leaked all over me while wearing it at night. So I got myself and not a bear. It was still very effective. So just keep an eye out for leaks as it gets old. Red burning pepper liquid everywhere. Burned my skin for several hours.

The self life lasted long but the weather condition drains the power like a batterie in cold weather it also condenses water on outside of can from heat to cold . I have reg. sprays but but never had any failure but man do u wanna take the change? Please try an keep around same temp. When taken out try not to expose it to cold weathe and the hot body heat like all self protection stuff keep close to body for fast use. I have found. In the house about a year going in an out depends.

I always refrigerate mine. Not sure what the shelf life is, as it doesn't last that long in our home.

I do know what the shelf life is as I buy two boxes every month and drink them daily. The drink pouches are sealed. Sorry I can not help more

I don't refrigerate this. But not sure of the shelf life. I've had it about a year already

I don't know what the maker suggests as a shelf life, but the product is freeze dried and sealed in a waxed container so you can count on it being good for a long time....

I bought it by the case. I really don't know exactly why there is a shelf life as it is completely dry and in a vacu-sealed package. I'll be honest, I've used it way past the shelf life and it was just fine.

yes there is a shelf life I guess. Mine said Oct. 2014 which probably wasn't even a year after I got it.

I believe it has a shelf life of over one year, maybe more! ...that's my experience, works great each time.. I buy several each yr for my use.

I am not an expert, but everything I have read said that the shelf life if stored properly is between 3 to 5 years.

Honestly, I dont know about shelf life. I do know that the food i ordered two years ago I just used and it was fine. The dehydrated foods just last.

I'm sorry, I bought this a long time ago. I don't remember the shelf life. It was well sealed, so I doubt additional sealing would help.

Hi,Shelf life is 6 months to 1 year depending on the region you live in. High humidity 8 months, low 1 year. Thanks,Joe

I'm not sure what the shelf life actually is, but I have had a bottle for 4-5 years, and it still works well.

We use it right away, so we don't know the shelf life. It works, but sometimes needs to be reapplied.

The shelf life is, from my understanding, forever as long as you keep the moisture out of it. It takes me about 6 mts to take it but I keep it in a dark cool dry place. I put what I use in one container and keep the rest put up until I run out of what I am using from.
