Should I get Stream pattern or Fog pattern? This is one of the most common RedHotPepperSpray questions we receive from pepper spray purchasers.
Choosing whether to buy a stream or fog pepper spray product is an important decision that is dependent upon your needs.
There is no simple answer whether an individual should buy a stream or cone fog pepper spray pattern. In general, we highly recommend civilians to buy pepper spray with a fog (also known as cone fog) pattern due to one’s accuracy not needing to be pinpoint as well as fog pattern’s ability to spray multiple assailants at one time.
The reasons are pretty clear –
1. Generally, a civilian does not use pepper spray that often. As a result, when the time comes to use it, often times they get nervous. As a result, fog pattern works best as the user does not need to worry about accuracy too much. They just need to spray in the direction of the attacker and generally with a high quality pepper spray like Fox Labs, SABRE RED or Def-Tec they will score a direct hit.
2. For a situation in which there are multiple assailants, a civilian that this is not well trained will find it hard to score a direct hit if they are using a stream pattern. Fog pattern works best in this scenario.
