ESP Pepper Jet 40 ml Pepper Spray — Blue

The Pepper Jet is a defensive pepper spray made by ESP, delivering 40 ml of irritant agent in a concentrated stream. It is designed for professional operators, law enforcement and private individuals who need a legal, non-lethal self-defence tool to carry on them. The canister is compact: 92 mm tall and 35 mm in diameter, weighing 66 g.

The formula contains a concentration of 10% OC (Oleoresin Capsicum), the natural capsicum extract that acts on the ocular mucous membranes and the respiratory tract. A direct hit to the face causes intense eye burning, coughing and disorientation for approximately 30 minutes — enough time to move away from the threat or call for assistance. Stream delivery rather than mist reduces lateral dispersal and lowers the risk of blowback contamination to the user, but requires more accurate aim than cone sprays: a trade-off worth considering in enclosed spaces or windy conditions, where a controlled stream is preferable to a diffuse cloud.

The effective range is approximately 4 m, with a recommended deployment distance of 1 to 3 m for optimal effect and directional control. The valve is designed for short bursts of around one second, preserving the contents for multiple uses. The operating temperature range runs from −20 °C to +50 °C, making it suitable for use in varying environmental conditions. Regulations governing the possession and carrying of pepper spray vary by country: check the applicable laws on concentration limits and carry rules before purchasing.
